Cosmetic Surgery: Know About The Various Options Available To Men
The five following procedures are some of the most common cosmetic surgeries performed on men.
1. Breast reduction for gynecomastia patients-Gynecomastia is a condition in which the mammary glands and breast tissue are abnormally large in men. It linked to obesity, genetics, drug side effects, and hormone imbalance. The permanent treatment option is breast reduction, otherwise known as reduction mammoplasty.
During this procedure, a small incision is made around the areola and the excess glandular tissue is cut and removed. This may be combined with liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue as well. The patient will be left with a more masculine, flatter, and more defined chest.
2. Liposuction-For those who are close to their ideal weight but want a more sculpted body, liposuction is often the solution. While diet and exercise reduces the size of the fat cells, liposuction actually decreases the amount of fat cells, allowing them to have the body they have always wanted but couldn't achieve even with hard work.
Liposuction is usually performed on areas where they carry the most fat including abdomen, waist, and chest, but liposuction can be performed on almost any area of the body. During this procedure, a hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through a small incision fat is loosened and suctioned out of the body.
Luckily for them, their skin contracts better than that of women, so more fat can be suctioned out. Even so, liposuction is not a replacement for good diet and regular and frequent exercise.
3. Facelift and necklift-To rejuvenate the face men often opt for facelifts and necklifts. A full facelift involves cutting back the skin, sculpting the layers beneath, redraping the skin over the face, and cutting away excess skin.
A necklift is similar only less intense and requires smaller incisions. A necklift will remove excess fat, tighten muscles, and reduce the amount of sagging skin below the chin, making men look younger.
4. Hair restoration surgery-This is one of only cosmetic surgery procedures that is used primarily on men, as most of them suffer from thinning or complete hair loss. One common technique requires a section of hair where hair is growing strongly (usually from the back of the head) to be taken.
The follicles are carefully divided and individually transplanted into the scalp. Surgeons are able to replicate the way hair grows and results are very natural.
5. Rhinoplasty-When displeased with the shape or size of their nose, they often choose to under go It is a cosmetic surgery known as rhinoplasty. Surgeons individually reshape the nose to balance out the patients face. The bridge of the nose can be raised or lowered, the tips of the nose can be turned up or down, or enlarged or made smaller, bumps can be removed, and nostrils can be reshaped.
It is very important to retain masculinity and so rhinoplasty is often combined with the insertion of chin implants to create a stronger profile.
