Because traditionally most cosmetic surgery patients have been women, many surgeons\u2019 websites have content that is geared specifically to women, and this can make it difficult for men to determine what types of changes are possible for them. Given that a growing number of men are interested in cosmetic enhancement \u2014 both nationally and at our practice here in Charlotte \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/ghsurgery.com\/staging\/meet-dr-harper\/\">Dr. Garrett Harper<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/ghsurgery.com\/staging\/meet-dr-graper\/\"> Dr. Robert Graper<\/a> decided to answer some of the questions they hear most often from men during consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Many Men Have Plastic Surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. The number of men seeking cosmetic enhancement has surged, especially over the past 10 years. While historically men have put less of an emphasis on their looks, societal norms have changed significantly; it is not frowned upon for a man to take pride in his appearance. Nationally, about 13% of procedures are performed on men currently. More telling is that on a survey, 31% of men said they were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/story\/more-men-getting-plastic-surgery-trend\">\u201cextremely likely\u201d<\/a> to consider a cosmetic procedure during their lifetime, further proving that any previous stigma has shifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are that most people already know another man who has had a cosmetic treatment. However, men are less likely to discuss this subject with their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Procedures Do Dr. Harper and Dr. Graper Perform for Male Patients?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because men age and develop stubborn fat similar to women, this means that they can benefit from most of the surgeries that Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery offers. The most popular include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Rhinoplasty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liposuction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Male breast reduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eyelid surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jaw reshaping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facelift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Plastic Surgery Different for Men?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surgical techniques are usually adjusted to account for the anatomical differences between women and men. Because men have denser muscles and thicker skin on their face, the recovery time is usually longer, making it that much more important to place incisions in easily concealed areas. As for the body, men typically prefer a toned physique that has a bit of bulk or muscle to it, which is a sharp contrast to women who usually want a thin frame. This of course changes the way <a href=\"https:\/\/ghsurgery.com\/staging\/procedures\/men\/\">body contouring<\/a> procedures are approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Male Plastic Surgery \u201cFeminize\u201d a Man\u2019s Appearance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, male plastic surgery does not typically feminize a man\u2019s face or body. Most men request changes that enhance their existing masculinity and handsomeness. The key is to have a surgeon who has worked with many male patients, such as Dr. Harper or Dr. Graper. For example, a plastic surgeon who has only performed facelift on women may not have a great technique for maintaining a chiseled jawline like a surgeon who has done this same surgery on men. During a consultation, it is always appropriate to ask a prospective surgeon for before-and-after photos of other male patients to see the quality of their work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Become a Younger, Handsomer Version of Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery, our talented plastic surgeons have the knowledge and skills to help men like you look their best at any age.
