Every summer, millions of men and women hit America’s countless beaches and poolsides. While we often hear about women’s sometimes frantic efforts to get “bikini ready,” the coming of summer can also arouse some anxiety in men about every aspect of their appearance. It’s therefore no surprise that BHP is seeing more interest in a range of cosmetic surgeries for men. Some are the kinds of operations that males have long sought, such as rhinoplasty (nose jobs); others are procedures that many people might still associate only with women such as liposuction, tummy tucks, and even breast reductions.

The fact of the matter is that, just as many women dream of looking their best in a revealing bikini but might feel somewhat uncomfortable even in a fairly modest one-piece suit, many males have more than a little concern about being seen shirtless on the beach or at a pool party, or just wearing a form-fitting shirt. For example, even men who have worked hard to improve their appearance through regular work-outs and strict attention to their diet may find themselves with stubborn, and far from attractive, pockets of fat that often make ideal targets for liposuction.

Perhaps the embarrassing issue of this nature for men is gynecomastia, the condition typically responsible for men having unusually large breasts. The complaint has many causes and is sometimes associated with a certain amount of discomfort, but it is nearly always cause for embarrassment and lack of confidence. Fortunately, gynecomastia can be defeated through male breast reduction procedures that may often involve a combination of liposuction and a partial mastectomy to deal with glandular tissue. The results are typically dramatic, with men feeling much better about themselves and their bodies after an operation.

Body contouring is another increasingly popular type of procedure for men. Particularly as weight loss surgeries become more common, procedures to deal with loose skin after a significant weight loss have helped countless men adjust to their new, thinner bodies. Moreover, just as many women want to rejuvenate their appearance, more and more men are inquiring about male facelifts, which can provide truly impressive results that can help them make the most of both their professional and personal lives.

All in all, men and women are much more alike than many of us think. Regardless of gender, we all want to look our best. Of course, where a man receives a plastic surgery makes an enormous difference, and working with highly qualified and experienced surgeons is crucial. It’s also helpful to work with a topflight medical support team who can help patients through the entire process of obtaining a procedure.
