What plastic surgeries are most often performed by men?

Male plastic surgery is becoming increasingly popular in today's world, where appearance plays an important role in everyone's life, influencing socialization, professional achievements, etc. Among the most common types of plastic surgery chosen by men are liposuction, blepharoplasty, abdominoplasty, rhinoplasty, and gynecomastia treatment. Let's take a closer look at each of these procedures.

Liposuction for men

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from different parts of the body. For men, this operation is often performed on the abdomen, sides, chest, and chin.

Men turn to liposuction to achieve a more toned and athletic appearance when this is difficult to achieve through exercise and diet alone.

The liposuction procedure involves injecting a special solution under the skin to break down fat cells, which are then removed through thin cannulas. After the operation, patients are advised to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.

Recovery after liposuction can take from a few weeks to several months. During this period, patients should avoid physical activity and follow the plastic surgeon's recommendations for caring for the treated area.

Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids and the area around the eyes. In men, it is most often performed to remove excess skin and fat deposits on the lower eyelids, which can create a tired or aged appearance.

The procedure involves incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids (upper blepharoplasty) or the conjunctiva of the lower eyelid (lower blepharoplasty), through which excess tissue is removed. After the operation, it is necessary to avoid physical exertion, not rub the eyes, and use special drops to moisturize the mucous membrane.

The recovery period after blepharoplasty lasts about two weeks.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and strengthens the abdominal wall muscles. For men, this procedure is especially relevant in combination with diet and exercise to reduce the size of the abdominal area, which is usually a problem area for them.

The abdominoplasty procedure involves a horizontal incision in the lower abdomen through which excess tissue is removed and muscles are corrected. After the operation, patients are advised to wear compression garments, avoid physical activity, and follow a special diet.

Rehabilitation after abdominoplasty lasts from six to eight weeks. During this period, patients should exercise caution, avoid sudden movements, and follow all the plastic surgeon's recommendations to achieve the best results.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the shape of the nose. Men often turn to rhinoplasty to correct cosmetic defects or improve the functionality of the nose, for example, in cases of breathing problems or a deviated septum.

The rhinoplasty procedure involves changing the shape of the bone and/or cartilage structures of the nose. After the operation, patients will need to wear a special bandage for some time and avoid strenuous physical activity.

The recovery period after rhinoplasty lasts about two weeks. During this time, swelling and bruising may be present, but they gradually disappear. Full recovery can take up to six months, during which time the shape of the nose continues to improve.

Treatment of gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is a condition in which the male breasts enlarge. It can be caused by hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or other factors such as excess weight. Treatment for gynecomastia involves the surgical removal of excess breast tissue to give the male body a more toned and masculine appearance. The plastic surgeon removes excess fat and glandular tissue through small incisions.

The recovery period after gynecomastia treatment lasts four to six weeks.

Recovery after plastic surgery in men

Rehabilitation after plastic surgery is an important part of the recovery process. The plastic surgeon's main recommendations usually include:

1. Bed rest in the first few days after surgery.
2. Avoid physical activity during the entire rehabilitation period.
3. Wear compression garments to reduce swelling and support the tissues.
4. Follow a diet and drink plenty of fluids.
5. See your doctor regularly to monitor the healing process and detect any complications early.

In conclusion, I would like to note that plastic surgery offers a wide range of opportunities to improve a man's appearance and increase his self-confidence. The choice of a particular procedure depends on the individual needs and desires of each man, and the high qualifications of the plastic surgeon and compliance with all his instructions during the rehabilitation period will ensure the best results and a long-lasting effect of the operation.
