Cosmetic surgery for men growing in popularity
Did you know that cosmetic surgery is not just limited to women? Recent findings from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons indicate that over 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men in the US in 2018. This number is projected to increase annually as more men, including those in Perth, consider plastic surgery to address the physical changes associated with ageing, parenting, hormonal shifts, and modifications to diet and exercise routines.
Similar to women, men also have access to a diverse range of cosmetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, that can help address concerns they may have about their appearance.
These days, men have a much better understanding of what is available and have access to a wealth of information. It is very common for us to hear our patients say ‘I wish I’d done it sooner!’ – Dr Anthony Williams
The most common procedures undertaken by men include:
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery to correct misshapen noses, especially due to sporting injuries)
- Liposuction (for fat removal and body contouring)
- Gynaecomastia (male breast surgery to remove excess breast tissue or skin)
- Upper and/or lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery to remove excess skin or fat deposits)
- Face lift and/or neck lift (to correct sagging skin and signs of ageing)
- Non-surgical injectable and skin rejuvenation treatments available from Assure Cosmetic Centre
If you are considering a cosmetic procedure, we encourage you to book an initial consultation with one of our Specialist Plastic Surgeons to discuss your desired outcomes and determine what the best treatment options would be suited to you.
