Male plastic surgery has been on the upswing for years, especially as taboos fade and the use of teleconferencing and social media soars. In 2024, men comprised 16% of plastic surgery patients, according to a survey of nearly 3,000 plastic surgeons conducted by the data-gathering firm Statista.
I believe as Baby Boomers and Gen Xers age—both men and women—they see themselves as healthy, active, and fit. They’re unhappy when their face or body doesn’t match how they feel, and they want to do something about it.
The post-pandemic “Zoom boom” has certainly sparked men’s interest in addressing signs of facial aging, such as loose neck skin or sagging eyelids, that they may have previously overlooked. In a tough economy with an aging population, competition for jobs becomes more intense. Men are feeling the pressure to look more youthful and rested, thus the increase in plastic surgery for men.
The top procedures men undergo include facelifts, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and neck contouring. The popularity of gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction) is also increasing.
Our male patients seeking cosmetic enhancements tend to follow national trends, with the exception that I perform more male breast reduction surgery, male rhinoplasty, and chin implants.
Chin implant surgery is a relatively minor procedure that can dramatically impact a man’s appearance. A strong chin and jawline are seen as the ideal masculine profile, and a chin implant can give men the strong look they desire.
Liposuction is another very popular procedure among men. It is consistently one of the top 5 male plastic surgery procedures performed annually, with more than 21,000 liposuction surgeries performed in 2024, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It can remove stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
