Women aren’t the only ones who want an aesthetically pleasing body. Men do too. And just like for women, exercise and diet can’t fix all their aesthetic concerns.
That’s why male plastic surgery has been growing in popularity. It’s now an accepted norm in society, and many men are experiencing the benefits of it.
At Aesthetica, we recommend several procedures for men, and many men walk out with brilliant results. Let’s explore these surgeries and their benefits!

ToggleThe Growing Trend of Male Plastic Surgery
Statistics show that men are seeking out cosmetic surgery more than ever before. Between 2000 and 2017, breast reductions, liposuction, and tummy tucks for men were up 30%, 23%, and 12%, respectively.
Studies also show that plastic surgery can make men appear more likable and trustworthy. So what’s not to like?
Shifting Attitudes Towards Cosmetic Procedures in Men
As cosmetic surgery for men becomes more acceptable, our male clients have enjoyed procedures to balance their noses, rejuvenate their faces, or give them slimmer waists. The shifting attitudes toward male cosmetic surgery have opened doors for men to pursue aesthetics, too.
As men continue to pursue aesthetically pleasing bodies, we’re here to fulfill their needs and wants.
Gynecomastia Surgery: Male Breast Reduction
We offer a variety of plastic surgery options for men, including gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction.
This surgery removes excess fat from men’s breasts, slimming them down and giving these men a more masculine physique.
Enlarged breasts in men are caused by genetics, obesity, or some medications. For any of these circumstances, liposuction, excision, or combining the two easily corrects the enlargement.
If you’re considering a gynecomastia surgery, you can explore our before and after photos for male breast reduction surgery here.
Liposuction for Men: Contouring the Male Body
Maybe gynecomastia sounds almost correct for you—you have some excess fat you’d like to shake. But it’s not in the breast area—it’s somewhere else.
We’ve got an answer for that, too! Liposuction, a surgery that sucks away that hard-to-shake fat, can be used all over the body!
Dr. Chang performs liposuction on the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, waist, arms, back, chest, face, ankles, and legs. With so many options, it’s easy to be free from the annoying burden of stubborn fat!
Rhinoplasty: Reshaping the Male Nose for Aesthetic Balance
If liposuction isn’t the aesthetic change you’re seeking, rhinoplasty is another option we recommend for men.
Rhinoplasty is a way to change the shape of your nose, whether by surgery or through non-surgical fillers.
Either can correct the nose’s size and shape. Rhinoplasty is also beneficial for men who want to fix structural complications in their noses.
Some specific corrections offered with a rhinoplasty include reducing a hump, straightening the nose, reshaping an overly rounded tip, enlarging a pointed tip, changing the nose’s size, and reducing a deviated septum.
If you think rhinoplasty could be right for you, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with Dr. Chang today.
BOTOX for Men: Smoothing Wrinkles, Maintaining Masculinity
However, if you want to go the non-surgical route, BOTOX is your secret weapon.
Men get wrinkles just like women, and they don’t have to like them any more than women do.
Wrinkles invade the masculinity of a man’s face. You can put a stop to them with BOTOX.
BOTOX, a neuromodulator that stops muscle contractions, can smooth many facial wrinkles. The list is long, but a few possibilities include forehead lines, crow’s feet, lip lines, and neck wrinkles.
If you want to keep your face young and fresh while conquering wrinkles, look no further than BOTOX!
Comprehensive Care: Pre and Post-Surgery Considerations
If you’ve decided to get the surgery, you’ll need to know how to take care of yourself.
Recovery time is often the most challenging for men, who aren’t used to resting or having others help them. But trust us—this is the best thing you can do for your body while healing!
Some ways you can nurture your body before and after surgery include getting rest, having someone drive you home from surgery, avoiding alcohol and cigarettes, and taking time off work.
After surgery, the list expands a little. You should stay away from sunlight, wear bandages and compression garments, and avoid strenuous exercise, sports, and sexual intercourse.
Following these steps makes it easy to recover from surgery! Let us guide your cosmetic surgery journey today, and take the first step with us by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Chang!
