Why More Men Than Ever Are Choosing Plastic Surgery

Why More Men Than Ever Are Choosing Plastic Surgery – 

In the history of plastic surgery, the majority of patients have been women. In recent years, however, plastic surgeons -including Board Certified Macomb County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali- have noted an influx of male plastic surgery patients. In the modern era, with increased cultural importance placed on personal image, men now face increased incentive to perfect their physical appearance. And as society continues to embrace plastic surgery as a means of looking and feeling your best, more men than ever are opting for plastic surgery to become the version of themselves they’ve always dreamed of becoming.

Men’s Plastic Surgery Statistics

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has stated that in 2015, the total number of men undergoing plastic surgery had tripled since it’s first year offering statistical reports. And not only has the last decade seen a tremendous surge in plastic surgeries performed on men, the number continues to grow. According to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), 31% of male participants stated that they were “extremely likely” to consider plastic surgery.

Why the Increase in Men’s Plastic Surgery

The ever-present influence of social media on modern society is believed to have played a major role in the increased number of male plastic surgeries. With online photo-sharing being one of the cornerstones of social media interaction, more and more men are turning to plastic surgery for an increased sense of confidence.

But men aren’t just choosing plastic surgery to help snap the perfect selfie. In the modern workforce, where youthfulness is often seen as a highly desirable assent among hiring candidates, many men are undergoing plastic surgery for a fresh, youthful look, ideally resulting in the career boost they’ve been looking for.

As more men than ever consider plastic surgery, Macomb County Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ali takes great care to ensure male patients receive the same level of expert care as his female patients. Equally skilled and experienced performing plastic surgery on men and women, Dr. Ali takes great care to ensure male patients have made the right choice in selecting plastic surgery.

Why Plastic Surgery for Men is Different

While there is a great amount of overlap between plastic surgeries performed on both men and women, the male and female anatomies are obviously very different. As such, plastic surgery procedures on male patients can differ greatly from plastic surgery procedures performed on female patients. For example, while the end goal of rhinoplasty -to improve the shape and functionality of the nose- is the same for both men and women, the surgical maneuvers required to construct a balanced, feminine nose are significantly different those to achieve a strong, masculine nose.

Additionally, as men generally have larger muscles, men typically require larger doses of Botox and other injectables to achieve the desired outcome. Fortunately for male plastic surgery patients in the Macomb County area, Board Certified Dr. Ali has extensive experience performing plastic surgery on men and works tirelessly to meet all of his male plastic surgery patients’ unique needs.

Top Men’s Plastic Surgery Procedures

But while male and female bodies each obviously require very specific, very different types of care, male and female patients both share many of the same desired outcomes of plastic surgery. According to the ASAPS, the top-recorded plastic surgeries of 2017 for both men and women included eyelid surgery, tummy tucks, facelifts, and liposuction.

And in addition to the overlap between men and women undergoing plastic surgery procedures that are easily understood to be gender-neutral, some plastic surgeries that are traditionally seen as being women-only are also perfectly appropriate for male patients. Breast reduction surgery, for example, while predominantly seen as being only for women, is a perfect option for men who are unhappy with excess tissue (so called “man boobs”), providing them the with masculine, defined physique they’re looking for.
