Society as a whole is letting go of the old stereotype that plastic surgery and cosmetic treatments are just for women. Today, men are often just as motivated as women to look their best, whether that involves rejuvenating the skin, restoring fuller hair, or undergoing body contouring procedures. This blog will discuss how liposuction, gynecomastia treatment, and hair transplants are some of the most common surgeries men seek out. We’ll also discuss how BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers are popular amongst men to smooth out aging signs and restore a more youthful appearance.

Liposuction
One cosmetic procedure men often take advantage of is liposuction, a surgical treatment that can eliminate stubborn pockets of fat and create a proportionate body structure. While liposuction isn’t a solution to weight loss, it can remove unwanted areas of fat to reveal the toned, sculpted muscle underneath. At NOVA Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, our team of top plastic surgeons can remove unwanted fat from your thighs, abdomen, upper arms, waist, hips, buttocks, inner knees, chest area, back, and chin.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Many men choose to undergo plastic surgery to address “man boobs.” Gynecomastia is a hormonal disorder that causes male breast tissue to grow, often resulting in enlarged breasts. While the condition usually goes away on its own, it may sometimes last longer. Certain foods and drinks can also cause gynecomastia, along with certain medications that can create a hormonal imbalance.
NOVA Plastic Surgery and Dermatology offers liposuction and mastectomy as two surgical options to treat gynecomastia. Liposuction involves removing fat tissue directly from the patient’s chest, essentially reversing the accumulation of breast tissue growth. A mastectomy completely removes breast gland tissue, preventing further growth. Both approaches are viable options for men who want to reverse the effects of gynecomastia.
Hair Restoration
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, male pattern hair loss usually begins in the late teens or early 20s, and more than half of men in the U.S. will have receding hairline or noticeable thinning by age 50. While hair loss is a natural part of aging, more men are turning to hair restoration treatments to restore their hairlines.
NeoGraft®
NeoGraft® is an advanced hair transplantation procedure that can help men achieve youthful-looking results. During the procedure, individual hair follicles are removed from either the side of the head or back and implanted in the thin or balding areas. Unlike traditional follicular unit excision hair transplantation (FUE), NeoGraft® doesn’t involve cutting a strip of skin from the scalp, making it a safer, faster alternative that doesn’t leave scars.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRF) Injections
Another treatment you can consider is PRF therapy or platelet-rich plasma injections. This procedure involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into your scalp to treat hair thinning and stimulate hair growth. Like NeoGraft®, PRF therapy is a minimally invasive procedure effective at combating hair loss.
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dermal Fillers
Now more than ever, men are embracing the idea that self-care is essential. For men who want to maintain and improve their facial appearance, BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal filler cosmetic treatments can help. BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers are effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing facial contours, and boosting self-confidence.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a neuromodulator that uses botulinum toxin to block nerve signals that cause your muscles to contract, relaxing the muscles and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) into the dermis, adding volume to make it look firmer and smoother.
Benefits of male BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers include:
- A more masculine contour: Injectables can help you achieve a more masculine facial structure, such as a stronger jawline or chiseled-looking cheekbones.
- Customized aesthetic outcomes: What do you plan to achieve with your injectable treatment? Are you targeting deep lines or want a more chiseled appearance? Communicating the look you want to achieve can help you and your provider craft a truly unique, customized facial rejuvenation plan.
- Little-to-no downtime: BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers are minimally invasive procedures, meaning that most men can receive treatment and go right back to their daily routine. Injectable cosmetic treatments are relatively quick, with almost instantaneous results.
