Male Cosmetic Surgery Directory

Most people equate cosmetic surgery with women, however this stereotype has become more and more diluted as male cosmetic surgery becomes more and more common and mainstream. For decades, many men have considered the use of aesthetic medical procedures to be 'unmanly', and for a long time there has been a stigma attached to the thought of a man undergoing a facelift, for example. In recent years, however, it has become a lot more acceptable for men to alter their appearance. It is suggested that because many males in the media and entertainment industry, such as movie stars, musicians and television personalities, are nowadays quite upfront about the cosmetic surgery they have undertaken to achieve their looks, the public in general has become more tolerant of the idea of plastic surgery for men. Some of the most popular and common male cosmetic surgery procedures are briefly described below:

• Liposuction – this procedure involves the removal of fat by a suction device. It is a very quick and low-risk surgery that has immediate resuts and usually quick recovery times. Liposuction, or suction-assisted lipectomy, is normally performed on the abdomin but can also be used for other parts of the body.
  
  
• Rhinoplasty – commonly referred to as a 'nose job', rhinoplasty involves the reshaping of the nose. This can consist a number of different techniques and methods, depending on the result desired and the degree of alteration necessary.
  
  
• Gynecomastia – many men suffer the indignity of this condition, crudely called moobs, where the breasts of the sufferer become noticeably enlarged. The treatment is a procedure known as breast reduction surgery and is one of the most common male cosmetic surgeries.
  
  
• Abdominoplasty – involves the reshaping and reforming of the abdomin, and in most cases uses liposuction as the main technique. Often called a 'tummy tuck', this procedure requires the removal of large amounts of skin and the relocation of the navel. Recovery time can be quite long in some instances.
  
  
• Blepharoplasty – eyelid surgery is a very popular cosmetic procedure, particularly among Asian men, where a double eyelid is desired. The procedure is also used to remove excess eyelid skin from either or both the upper eyelid and lower eyelid.
  
  
• Brow Lift – this procedure involves repositioning the eyebrows to give a more desirable appearance. A brow lift, or forehead lift, will also result in the removal of wrinkles across the forehead area
  
  
• Face Lift – a very common cosmetic procedure that involves pulling the facial skin upwards until it is tight and smooth, and then cutting away the excess skin. This treatment removes facial wrinkles that result from aging.
  
  
• Otoplasty – this is the alteration of a person's ears and can consist of various procedures. A common otoplasty operation is to bring the ears closer to the skull. Another is to make adjustments to the ear lobes.
  
  
• Chin Augmentation – this aesthetic procedure alters the chin to a more desirable shape and can involve the use of implants and/or jaw bone reshaping. Chin augmentation is often performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty to achieve a more balanced facial appearance.
