Until some years back, cosmetic surgery was thought to be reserved for women only. But now there are a number of plastic surgery for men, which most men nowadays opt taking.
The most popular procedures for men are:
Rhinoplasty
A nose job may reduce or increase the size of your nose and it can change its angle or shape. The surgery is done within the nostrils, called closed rhinoplasty or it may be done between the nostrils by lifting the skin and this is called open rhinoplasty.
The type of surgery will depend on the area to be treated. In case the bump at the bridge has to be operated on, your surgeon should remove the cartilage and bone which caused the bump. The nose will then be broken so that the remaining pieces may be put closer.
If it is about changing how long the nose is, then your surgeon may adjust or reduce the septum. This helps in shrinking the tip of your nose and to reduce its length.
Otoplasty or ear correction
This is a surgery meant to work on the ear cartilage so that the ear may lie near the head. The operation will be done on the ears which mean that a small scar can be left near the glove found at the side of your head or between the ears. The procedure is done using local anesthesia.
Blepharoplasty or eye reduction
As people grow up, the decreased elasticity within the skin will make the skin to look loose and it will have folds at the upper eyelids. It will form deepening creases at the lower lids. There will also be muscle under the skin which allows the fat to enter and it will make your eyes to look as if they are baggy.
Your vision will improve after blepharoplasty and it will make you look young. The lower eyelid reduction will help with the puffiness and wrinkles.
Male breast reduction
Gynecomastia is the result of glandular tissue which is dense and firm. If the problem is caused by fatty cells, then the doctor will do liposuction. If the problem is because of the glandular tissue, the doctor will cut the tissue out using an incision near the nipple edge.
