Plastic Surgery is found to be one of the most viral surgical movements across the globe – a rage enhanced by the contemporary reign of our technology-advanced 21st century era!
In our continuing series highlighting Plastic Surgery procedures in Singapore, Expat Choice caught up with internationally acclaimed Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Marco Faria Correa to discuss the present-day trend of Male Plastic Surgery.
It’s not just women who take pride in their appearance, and according to Dr. Marco, men share in the same interest with equal part and desire. Over the recent years, Dr. Marco has witnessed a steady increase in demand from males requesting for plastic surgery procedures to maintain and restore their physique to a more youthful and healthy form.
He openly shares, “the statistics speak volumes. Upon visiting my clinic here in Singapore, men frequently wish to discuss male plastic surgery procedures and suitable options.”
Now more than ever, males are choosing to go under the knife or needle to combat their aesthetic concerns. This remark being evidenced by Dr. Marco’s own experiences amongst other reasoning, he fills us in further: “Both surgical and non-surgical male cosmetic procedures rose about 25 percent by the year-end of December 2020.”
According to Dr. Marco, the spiked growth in the popularity of male plastic surgery is largely influenced by the demanding virtual world of Social Media spectrums, crazes, and obligations. Considering this, Dr. Marco comments, “Fuelled by today’s selfie-obsessed social media culture and furthered as a response for the requirement of wearing a mask in public, coupled with a more contained recovery period from the global pandemic in working from home – patients have eagerly bee-lined for the promising chance to schedule less invasive procedures involving minimal recovery.”
In getting down to the brass tacks of male plastic surgery, Dr. Marco is presented with the question lingering on our minds – What are the most preferred and popular procedures requested for by men?
Dr. Marco goes on to list the following run through of treatments which males request for most:
Cosmetic Face Procedures:
- BOTOX
- Eyelid Surgery (upper eyelid, lower eyelid, eye bags)
- Upper Face Lift
- Full Face Lift and Neck Lift
- Double Chin Liposculpture
- Fat Grafting to the Face
- Rhinoplasty (a.k.a Nose Job)
- Chin Implant (a.k.a Chin Augmentation)
Cosmetic Body Procedures:
- Liposuction – the most frequent surgery for men in areas such as the male breast (male breast reduction or gynecomastia), flanks or hips, abdomen and back.
- Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck – especially considered after gain or loss of a significant amount of weight to reduce or eradicate redundant folds of unwanted skin, or alternatively concerning rectus diastasis and umbilical hernia.
Dr. Marco further remarks, “one of the most frequent patient expectations spotted with consistency, concerns the end result of each cosmetic procedure – the coal is to recapture or attain a youthful, yet natural appearance.”
Dr. Marco further expounded on the importance of a Plastic Surgeon needing to assess Cosmetic Face & Body procedures case by case, to identify and truly understand the harmony, the balance and the natural aesthetic of each individual.
Elaborating on this point with a closing thought, Dr. Marco cares to mention, “we tailor treatments for men specifically to the male aesthetic, by considering male anatomy and their personal goals for treatment while maintaining a masculine appearance, to improve our clients self-body image, self-esteem and self-confidence.”
