Cosmetic procedures for men are becoming more and more popular every year. Both women and men alike often choose to get nonsurgical and/or surgical procedures to help them regain self-confidence and maintain a youthful and energetic appearance.
For all the fellas searching for the best cosmetic procedures for men in 2018, here’s a breakdown of six of the most popular you might want to consider.
-
Male Breast Reduction
If the appearance of “man boobs” or “moobs” has been a cosmetic concern for you since your teenage years and into adulthood, a medical condition known as gynecomastia could be the cause. Gynecomastia, or enlarged male breasts, happens when your breast glandsare abnormally enlarged. This is often combined with excess fatty tissue in your chest area, which can make matters worse.
Male breast reduction can help by surgically removing enlarged breast glands and using liposuction to get rid of stubborn fatcells that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Many men feel a renewed sense of self-confidence after addressing gynecomastia through male breast reduction.
-
Abdominal Liposuction
Another problem area for lots of men is the abdomen. While liposuction alone won’t necessarily give you six-pack abs, it can remove the pinchable layer of fat that could be covering all your hard work at the gym. Abdominal liposuction can also be a great tool for streamlining common trouble spots like love handles and back rolls.
Just keep in mind that cosmetic surgery won’t be a stand-in for healthy habits like diet and exercise, and hitting the gym after getting liposuction is the best way to keep your slimmer, more toned physique.
Smartlipo™ combines laser energy with traditional liposuction to help tighten your skin while getting rid of unwanted fat.
-
Eyelid Surgery
Also called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for men. If excess skin and drooping eyelids are making you look years older or are interfering with your vision, you could be a good candidate for eyelid surgery.
This procedure can be performed on your upper, lower or both eyelids, but because it requires a delicate hand and surgical precision, make sure you’re working with an experienced cosmetic surgeon.
-
Facelift
Men sometimes choose to combine eyelid surgery with a facelift, or choose to get a facelift on its own to help minimize wrinkles and achieve a younger, revitalized look. Contrary to popular belief, getting a facelift doesn’t leave you looking fake or frozen. In fact, the best facelifts are the ones that no one can even spot.
-
BOTOX®
If you’re not ready for cosmetic surgery, there are quite a few nonsurgical options that can help you look and feel your best without the downtime of surgery. BOTOX® is one of the most common nonsurgical cosmetic procedures for men, and this trend is expected to continue into 2018.
One of the biggest benefits of BOTOX and other injectable wrinkle treatments is that it can usually fit right into your lunchbreak and shouldn’t keep you from getting back to work and other normal activities directly after your appointment.
-
Injectable Fillers
Injectable fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Sculptra® aren’t just for women. Many men also schedule these nonsurgical treatments to help diminish wrinkles and creases such as nasolabial folds and laugh lines. Like BOTOX, injectable fillers usually take only 30 minutes or less to complete and don’t require any downtime afterwards.
