What Are the Most Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures for Men?

The gig economy, social media pics, and dating apps are some of the forces behind why men have become more concerned about their appearance. This new interest has helped them realize something that women have known all along: When it comes to battling age and other body and facial issues, you’ve got to assemble an expert team.

Men of all ages are turning to cosmetic surgery procedures to ramp up their looks. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men in 2017. In the last five years alone, male liposuctions rose by 23% and tummy tucks by 12%. And dermal fillers got a 99% boost since 2000.

Dr. Jack Hensel, Jr., a distinguished, board-certified plastic surgeon in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, specializes in giving men the popular improvements they want without telltale scars or looking “done.” He’s created a special division of Lowcountry Plastic Surgery Center called The Manor — devoted exclusively to men. Here he outlines some of the benefits of the most popular male plastic surgery procedures.

Trade your beer belly for a six pack

Even if you hit the gym daily and are full-on paleo or keto, you may still have big bulges of fat around your abdomen and hips. Fat like this — that won’t go away no matter how much weight you press or laps you do — is called resistant fat.

Dr. Hensel suctions up resistant fat using state-of-the-art tumescent liposuction procedures. You can choose tumescent liposuction body sculpting alone or ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL).

Thanks to these advanced techniques and the smaller cannulas (metal straws) that Dr. Hensel uses, he can etch around your muscles to give them more definition. In other words, you get six-pack abs without a single crunch!

Liposuction can be used to permanently eliminate fat from:

• Double chins
• Beer bellies and muffin tops
• Love handles
• Thighs
• Legs
• Flanks
• Male breasts
• Back

With liposuction, you can finally say goodbye to that beer belly you’ve had since college.

Get rid of man boobs

There’s no need to suffer from the embarrassment of gynecomastia at the gym or on the beach. Male breast reduction surgery has increased in popularity by over 30% in the last five years. Dr. Hensel reduces your male breasts with liposuction alone or liposuction with male breast reduction surgery, discreetly hiding any scars in your underarms.

Lift your face

You lift weights to improve your health and appearance, but surgically lifting the male face is becoming increasingly popular, too. Dr. Hensel ensures that you get a natural-looking change that respects the placement of your sideburns and beard. He also makes sure that incision lines are hidden in your hairline or behind your ears.

Other popular male surgical procedures include:

• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Brow-lift
• Neck-lift

For face-lifts and other delicate procedures affecting your face, you can trust the skilled expertise of Dr. Hensel to give you the best possible results with minimal scarring.  

Bust up wrinkles

Frown lines, forehead furrows, and deep nasolabial folds make you look angry or sad. Dr. Hensel busts up wrinkles with a two-pronged approach: Botox® to relax overly expressive muscles that cause wrinkles around your eyes and forehead, and hyaluronic-acid based dermal fillers to smooth out folds and creases.

Dr. Hensel can increase the quality of your skin, too, to prevent new wrinkles from forming. A Smartskin+™ laser treatment only takes about 30 minutes, but the results last for months.

The laser’s deep-reaching energy penetrates your skin, forcing it to produce more collagen and elastin. The collagen and elastin build back your skin’s strength and elasticity to create more volume, thickness, and resilience.

Blast bad ink

Your ex’s name in a heart. That misspelled tattoo you got while on leave. Or the one you and your buddies etched yourselves in middle school.

Tattoo regret is almost as common as tattoos themselves. Dr. Hensel uses the high-tech PicoSure® laser to shatter tattoo pigment into tiny pieces that your body then absorbs and eliminates. He can remove most colors in just three sessions.

Regrow or remove hair

Whether you’re losing hair on your head that you’d like to restore, or you’ve got excess fuzz on your back or shoulders, Dr. Hensel’s got the solution. He offers NeoGraft — a brand new hair restoration method that has immediate results — and laser hair removal.

NeoGraft doesn’t use incisions or stitches. You’re awake for a pain-free procedure that takes from 4-8 hours. Within 9-12 months, you’ve got a youthful head of hair again.

And if you have excess, unwanted hair, Dr. Hensel uses laser therapy to get rid of it in six short treatments.

At The Manor, you can get just about any kind of popular male cosmetic surgery procedure you want. All it takes is a consultation to get started. Contact Dr. Hensel at The Manor by phone or email form.
