While women account for the majority of plastic and cosmetic procedures each year, men are still lining up for facelifts, BOTOX injections and liposuction to improve their appearance.   

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that over 1 million surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures for men were performed in 2007, and the most sought-after procedures included eyelid surgery, male breast reduction and microdermabrasion amongst others (Source: Surgery.org).

If you’ve been looking for ways to get rid of excess fat, remove fine lines and wrinkles or just enhance the texture and tone of your skin, consider the following cosmetic treatments for that makeover:  

The Male Face Lift  

Men go through a considerably different facial aging process than women, and may experience sagging skin, droopy eyelids, and furrows on the forehead during the midlife stages. A customized face lift such as a threadlift and conventional facelift surgery can help remove excess facial tissue and create a tightened, toned and more youthful look.   

Injectable Fillers for Men  

BOTOX offers one solution for getting rid of fine lines and deep wrinkles along the forehead, but it’s not the only option available for men. Hyaluronic acid injectables such as Restylane and Juvederm are equally as effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, nose and mouth, and can be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments for a complete makeover.  

Skin Tightening Treatments for Men  

Skin tightening procedures such as Thermage and Titan can help manage sagging skin and increase collagen production – an essential component of healthy, youthful-looking skin. A series of skin tightening treatments can help rejuvenate the skin, and these can be combined with injectable fillers for a sculpted look and creating improved facial contours.  

Hair Restoration for Men  

The ASAPS reports that by age 50, almost 50% of American men are affected by hair loss, but the problem can be can be managed with hair transplants and hair restoration procedures that encourage regrowth of the hair follicle. Hair transplants help to produce a natural pattern of hair regrowth, and are typically less expensive than conventional hair loss treatments and over the counter products. A series of hair restoration procedures can cover up areas that are balding and create a natural, more youthful appearance.   

Eyelid Surgery for Men  

Droopy eyelids can make you look excessively tired, stressed, or even bored. Eyelid surgery can reshape the upper eye area and tighten and tone the skin to draw more attention to the eyes. This can be a valuable treatment at any age, and can be combined with other skin tightening and facial rejuvenation procedures for a complete makeover.  

IP Laser Treatments for Men  

Laser skin resurfacing technologies have become more precise and effective at removing fine lines and age spots, reducing skin pigmentation and creating an even skin texture. Men can benefit from a series of laser skin resurfacing treatments that provide long-lasting results – beyond a facial or chemical peel – and can slowly restore the skin to a more youthful appearance.  

Male Breast Reduction Treatments  

Improving the contours of the chest and pectoral region is possible without a rigorous workout routine; over 20,000 men pursued male breast reduction treatments in 2007, and these can be combined with liposuction and body contouring procedures for a complete upper body makeover. Male breast reduction procedures can permanently reduce the size of the breasts for a flatter, firmer appearance.  

From laser skin resurfacing treatments to injectable fillers, there are several ways that men can achieve a more youthful, attractive appearance.
