In recent years, more men have embraced facial cosmetic procedures as a way to maintain a youthful appearance and enhance their facial features. As societal norms around cosmetic surgery evolve, men are increasingly seeking out treatments to improve their confidence and appearance. At the practice of Maurice M. Khosh, MD, FACS in NYC, we offer a range of top facial cosmetic procedures tailored specifically for men, helping them achieve natural-looking results that align with their aesthetic goals.
Rising Popularity of Male Cosmetic Procedures
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 2023 saw a significant rise in the number of men undergoing facial cosmetic procedures. This trend reflects a growing awareness among men about the benefits of cosmetic enhancements, particularly as they age. Whether addressing signs of aging, improving facial contours, or correcting specific features, these procedures have become a key component of many men’s grooming and self-care routines.
Popular Male Facial Cosmetic Procedures in 2023
Here are some of the most popular facial cosmetic procedures for men, as identified by the ASPS in 2023:
1. Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
Rhinoplasty remains the most popular facial cosmetic surgery for men. In 2023, it was one of the top procedures performed on male patients, with 6,867 procedures completed. Men seek rhinoplasty to refine the shape of their nose, correct breathing issues, or restore balance to their facial features. The procedure can address a wide range of concerns, from reducing the size of the nose to correcting a deviated septum or smoothing out a hump on the nasal bridge.
2. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is highly sought after by men looking to rejuvenate their appearance with 15,397 surgeries performed in 2023. This procedure targets drooping upper eyelids and puffy bags under the eyes, which can make a person look tired or older than they are. By removing excess skin and fat, blepharoplasty helps create a more alert and youthful appearance, making it a top choice among male patients.
3. Botox and Dermal Fillers
Non-surgical options like Botox and dermal fillers have surged in popularity among men, with over 700,000 treatments given to men in 2023. Botox is widely used to reduce the appearance of forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, providing a smoother, more refreshed look. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are used to restore volume to areas like the cheeks, chin, and jawline, enhancing facial contours and reducing the signs of aging. These minimally invasive treatments offer quick results with little to no downtime, making them ideal for busy professionals.
4. Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
As men age, sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume can become more pronounced. Facelifts remain a popular choice for those seeking a more permanent solution to these signs of aging, with 5,797 male facelifts performed in 2023. A facelift tightens the underlying facial muscles, removes excess skin, and repositions the facial tissues to create a firmer, more youthful appearance. Many men in their 50s and 60s opt for this procedure to restore their youthful contours.
5. Chin Augmentation
A strong, defined chin is often associated with masculinity and confidence. Chin augmentation is a procedure that enhances the chin’s shape and projection, improving facial balance and symmetry. This procedure is particularly popular among men who feel that their chin is too small or receding. By inserting an implant or reshaping the bone, chin augmentation can create a more robust and well-proportioned profile.
