Man with surgical lines on his face before male plastic surgery

3 reasons why more men are having plastic surgery today

Plastic surgery isn’t just for women. Recent studies show that male plastic surgery has been steadily growing more popular over the last 20 years, with no signs of stopping this upward trend.

In our plastic surgery practice in Milburn, NJ, esteemed plastic surgeon Dr. Erwin Bulan frequently performs male plastic surgery to help our patients look and feel younger, fitter, and more confident.

With decades of experience, Dr. Bulan has seen firsthand how New Jersey men from Union, Morris, and Essex Counties are embracing surgery (and nonsurgical options too!) tailored to their needs.

Here are three reasons that are driving this trend.

Staying Competitive in Careers

In many industries, appearance can influence how people are perceived. Men want to look as youthful, sharp, and energetic as they feel, especially when competing with younger colleagues.

Procedures like eyelid surgery to refresh tired eyes, facelifts for a firmer look, or even non-surgical “tweakments” like Botox® for subtle smoothing can give men an edge by presenting a confident, alert image.

For men who want to remain competitive in demanding fields, looking refreshed is part of professional success.

Feeling Confident in Personal Life

Confidence extends beyond the workplace. Men also seek surgery to feel more comfortable in their personal lives and relationships. Many men who come to Dr. Bulan for plastic surgery explain that they feel underconfident about certain aspects of their face or body, despite all their best efforts.

For example, liposuction can address stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to exercise, while male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery) helps men achieve a more masculine chest. These changes often lead to improved self-esteem and greater ease in social and personal situations.

Natural-Looking Results Are the New Standard

One of the most significant shifts in recent years is the advancement of plastic surgery techniques, which now enable results that appear natural and not overdone. Men who may have previously resisted the idea of plastic surgery due to fears of looking dramatically different or unnatural are drawn to today’s specialized procedures that provide subtle, realistic results.

A well-executed facelift, subtle eyelid surgery, or an body-sculpting tummy tuck can restore youthful contours while preserving a masculine appearance.

This reassurance has encouraged more men to pursue plastic surgery, knowing that results can be discreet and tailored to their features.
