Cosmetic surgery procedures in men have increased by 25% in the number of interventions performed with respect to statistics from other years. In fact, it is evident that more and more men are coming to our plastic surgery office in Bilbao seeking solutions that allow them to feel better with their physical appearance, either for personal satisfaction or for work reasons.
In the case of men, they usually prefer an improvement in their appearance that requires little recovery time, since they can return to their daily and routine activities in a short period of time.
These aesthetic retouches allow the person to maintain a young and healthy appearance in a society that has become more demanding and competitive with the passage of time. Nowadays, both women and men maintain a good diet, have moved away from toxic habits such as smoking and exercise regularly. Thus, their physical appearance does not correspond to how they really feel: young, full of energy, with many projects ahead and with a lot of optimism. Therefore, the surgeon’s goal is to bring well-being and improve the patient’s self-esteem.
What are the most common aesthetic procedures in men?
Liposuction
In men, liposuction has become a very common process to eliminate fat accumulated in certain areas of the body. As the years go by, fat accumulation can occur in some areas of the body, such as the abdomen, even in men who are at an adequate weight.
As such, it should be clear that liposuction is not a method for weight loss, but its function is to sculpt the body. In this case, the ideal candidate for liposuction would be men who lead a healthy lifestyle, practice exercise but are unable to reduce accumulated fat.
Gynecomastia
A gynecomastia is based on the reduction of an inadequate volume present in the male breast. This increase in volume may be due to the appearance of glandular tissue or a fat deposit.
Removing the glandular tissue and performing liposuction to reshape the contour of the male breast brings high degrees of satisfaction.
In the case of patients who have undergone this procedure, the degree of satisfaction is very high.
Blepharoplasty
The look is a fundamental aspect in the case of men, and drooping eyelids can make a person look older than he really is. Thus, the appearance of bags under the eyelids makes a man look tired, sleep deprived or even ill.
Blepharoplasty, therefore, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the eyes. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and/or sedation and lasts between one and two hours. It is also an outpatient procedure that only requires a few hours of hospitalization. At the same time, it is a very simple postoperative procedure that allows the patient to return to his or her routine in about a week.
In any case, the first step will always be to talk to a plastic surgeon who will be able to evaluate each specific case and find the optimal solution to improve the appearance of the male.
