What Are the Most Common Procedures Performed on Men?

Rates of plastic surgery among men have been increasing in recent years as more men embrace procedures to help them look and feel their absolute best as they get older. In fact, from 2019-2022, the rate of cosmetic surgery among males more than doubled, and 2023 saw major increases in key procedures, too.

Rishi Jindal, MD, has significant experience in men’s plastic surgery procedures for patients at Rejuvenate Plastic Surgery, using special techniques developed expressly for the unique goals of male patients. In this post, learn about some of the most popular procedures that can help you achieve your personal goals.

Gynecomastia surgery

Gynecomastia is an enlargement of male breasts, typically due to fatty deposits that accumulate as we age. Gynecomastia surgery removes excess fat tissue and restores more masculine contours, so you feel more confident about your appearance, even with your shirt off.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular surgeries among men, using surgical suction to remove stubborn fat deposits for a sleeker, slimmer, firmer physique. If it’s abs you crave, a special liposuction technique called ab etching can help create that sixpack you’ve always wanted, without countless hours at the gym.

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck surgery can help slim down your midsection, too. In this procedure, Dr. Jindal removes excess skin and fat, then tightens lax abdominal muscles for a flatter stomach and a more masculine figure.

Facelift and neck lift

As we age, we produce less collagen and elastin, two proteins that support skin so it looks and feels firmer, smoother, and more resilient. Over time, facial skin sags, dragging our features down, too. Neck and jowl skin loses firmness, too, causing drooping under the chin.

Facelift surgery and neck lift surgery remove excess skin and reposition underlying tissues, gently elevating the skin to a more youthful position. Today’s facelift and necklift surgeries use special techniques for a completely natural result tuned to your needs and goals.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

Your eyelids have a surprising effect on how you look. Bags and heavy lids can quickly age you and make you look perpetually tired and worn out. 

Eyelid surgery rejuvenates your lids, removing fat deposits and sagging skin under your eyes or eliminating excess skin that causes hooding in your upper lids. We can even gently reposition the muscles that elevate your upper lids so you look more youthful and more alert. 

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty reshapes the contours of your nose, establishing an optimal balance among your facial features while eliminating unwanted bumps or other cosmetic defects. Rhinoplasty can be performed on its own or in combination with other procedures to achieve a more ideal symmetry.

Body contouring

Body contouring can address areas of loose skin and fatty deposits in multiple areas of your body, including your arms, flanks, thighs, and torso or core area. Many people seek contouring after a major weight loss to remove extra skin and elevate sagging muscles. Dr. Jindal is skilled in combining the most advanced techniques to help men achieve their own unique goals.
