As metrosexuality becomes the order of the day, more and more men are expressing with confidence, their desire for a wide variety of plastic surgery procedures. According to plastic surgeons, the trend has picked up a lot of pace in the past decade where men have felt that why should they be left behind? The number of male patients turning up for plastic surgery procedures has also led a lot of popular clinics to come up with second offices exclusively for their male patients. So what are the most popular plastic surgery procedures for men?

Gynecomastia surgery

This is among the top procedures that men are making a beeline for. Gynecomastia essentially entails the reduction and contouring of the male chest when it has assumed a very feminine guise. The procedure is a very delicate one that requires much skill precision on the part of the plastic surgeon performing it. It fundamentally involves a combination of liposuction and glandular tissue removal and a very steady hand to create a natural looking, smooth and athletic chest.

Muscle enhancement and contouring

For most men, it is all about looking more male with rippling muscles. This has led to a significant rise in the number of patients opting for muscle enhancement and chest contouring procedures in recent times. Skillful and experienced plastic surgeons follow a process in which they take the fat from liposuction procedures and then inject them in minute batches into the deltoids, upper chest and biceps. They help the patient achieve a more athletic look this way by contouring the chest and doing away with the original fuller look at the base.

Hair transplant

This non-surgical procedure is very popular among most men and has seen a significant rise in the number of patients opting for it in recent times. It is a non-invasive treatment that plugs-in hair follicles into areas of the head suffering from thinning hair. The reason for the popularity of this procedure during the past couple of decades is the vast improvement in technique and technology that lets patients go in and out of the clinic in no time.

Chin Augmentation

With the increase of age, a diminutive chin starts giving an overall unharmonious look as opposed to a strong chin and jawline that lends a more masculine and younger appearance. This procedure has become quite popular among men who are either opting for chin augmentation or fillers to the chin.

Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is most common among men who have managed to lose a significant amount of weight but are left with loose skin around the abdomen which they wish to address. Many men these days, also opt for a procedure with similar results, except that it leaves them with enhanced abs with a redistributed volume. Known as ab-sketching, the performance is achieved with the help of high-definition liposuction.

Liposuction

Liposuction is among the top three procedures that are requested by men these days. There are several types of liposuction procedures available each with a different technique, thus offering targeted and diverse solutions. It can be performed in different areas of the body and is a less invasive alternative. It often gets done in no time and results start becoming visible in just about five to seven days.

A growing trend

More than one million men are going for plastic surgery procedures each year for the past several years as per data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. There are a number of procedures that appeal to men in order to enhance their overall appearance and plastic surgeons are paying special heed to their needs as well. So, why should men be left behind?
