• Men Explore the World of Cosmetic Procedures: Top 5 Requested Treatments 

  • By Mary Cunningham

  

  As more and more men seemingly flock to hop on the beauty bandwagon year-over-year, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that more of them are seeking out a variety of cosmetic procedures to enhance or rejuvenate their looks.  

  Today, it is fairly common for men to invest in aesthetic self-care without kicking up societal judgment. The stigma seems to have diminished significantly. Scientific advances provide a myriad of nonsurgical solutions for our most pervasive beauty woes, and it’s refreshing to see more men dipping their (pedicured) toe into the world of aesthetic procedures. 

• The Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Procedure I Would Perform For My Own Kids 

  • By Michael Law MD

  

  Being a parent, it is my responsibility to teach my kids to be confident, and that confidence isn’t entirely based on one’s outward appearance. I am personally not a proponent of aesthetic plastic surgery for minors, but as a father of boys, I feel very empathetic towards boys and young men with gynecomastia. The treatment, (breast reduction surgery), is the only aesthetic surgical procedure that I will perform on children. 

• Beard and Chest Hair Transplants Are Growing Among Baby-Faced Men 

  • By Amber Katz

  

  Hipster culture still reigns supreme, so is it any wonder that the word “beard implant” has even infiltrated our vocabulary? As a former student of Linguistics, I would have assumed that the inclusion of that expression in any phrase would have made it a never-before-uttered, entirely original phrase like those covered in my Noam Chomsky-penned textbooks. But yes, like skinny jeans, vintage everything and a deep and real commitment to normcore, people are going to some major lengths to achieve that artfully deconstructed, “I just don’t care” effect. 

• Cosmetic Procedure Options for Men Considering A Makeover 

  • By Mary Cunningham

  

  Attention fellas: Plastic surgery isn't just for the ladies anymore. In fact, it hasn’t been for a while but male-centric options are just now beginning to go mainstream. While male-focused procedures may not make the headlines as frequently, they are certainly available if you feel like it's time for some sprucing up. 

• Wanna Be Like Mike? Magic Mike? We’ve Got a Procedure for That! 

  • By Constantino G. Mendieta MD

  

  With the stigma surrounding plastic surgery subsiding, I’m seeing a growing influx of men coming into my practice for an aesthetic procedure and it isn’t limited to my practice either. In fact, over the past five years, the number of men undergoing plastic surgery has gone up by a whopping 43%, according to the annual statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). More than ever, the media is playing a significant role in how men are feeling about themselves and influencing their decision to undergo plastic surgery. 

• Are Calf Implants Stranger than Breast Implants? 

  

  By: Dr. Jonathan Kaplan 

  A few years ago, a patient came in to see me – male, adult, healthy, in a happy marriage. However, there was something missing. His self-confidence was affected by, of all things, his poorly developed calf muscles. He had a regular exercise routine, but could not build up his calves in proportion to the rest of his body. The patient had very reasonable expectations. He wasn’t a body builder or on steroids – he was just trying to stay in shape and have a fit, toned body! 

• Don't Lose Your Hair Over It! 

  • By Aly Walansky

  

  With summer here, we crave that lush, full, luxurious head of hair more than ever for those sunny beachside shots. But for many who are follicularly challenged, it’s simply not an option. People try to take the best possible care of their hair, using the right products and vitamins and eating the right foods, only to discover their once-lustrous hair is now a thing of the past. Perhaps it comes as no surprise then, that more people are now considering hair transplants to help regain the hair that has been lost due to thinning and balding associated with age.  

• Pectoral Implants: Are You a Good Candidate for This Procedure? 

  • By Melissa Chapman

  

  The beauty of living in 2015 is that cosmetic surgery is within reach of everyone. These days, if a person feels truly unhappy with the way they look, and that unhappiness is having a profound effect on their well-being and ability to function as a generally content and productive member of society, there are significantly more accessible options to fix virtually anything aesthetic now than there were even 10 years ago. 

• Men, It's Time to Etch Those Abs For Summer! 

  • By Aly Walansky

  

  It seems almost too good to be true. Can we skip the gym, relax on the diet – and just see a plastic surgeon? Can a little nip and tuck actually mimic (or replace) the effects of exercise and physical fitness? 

• Everything You Might Want to Know About Penis Enhancement, But Are Afraid to Ask 

  • By Mary Cunningham

  

  Compared to other cosmetic procedures, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, facial fillers and the like, we hear far less about penis enhancement. Perhaps there is still significantly more stigma associated with this procedure, or perhaps it’s just not well-suited for television, but there’s simply not a lot of talk about it in almost any media, at least nothing I’m reading or on shows I’m watching, and as such, there are a lot of seemingly unanswered questions revolving around penis enhancement. For example - - How is it done? Why?
