Top Cosmetic Surgeries Loved By Men in 2024

Over the past several years, men have been stepping up their game by seeking surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments to maintain an edge in their professional and personal lives. 

Here, in part 1 of our 2-part series on top cosmetic procedures for men, board-certified Little Rock cosmetic surgeon Dr. Rhys Branman shares which surgical procedures are in demand in 2024 and his considerations for creating and maintaining a masculine look. (Stay tuned for part 2 of this series where we share the top non-surgical treatments for men.)

Chin augmentation: It’s all about the angle 

A strong chin is a critical element of a youthful, yet ruggedly manly face. A weak or recessed chin can make the lower face and neck area appear blunt and ill-defined. With chin augmentation, Dr. Branman places a custom chin implant to create a more pronounced jawline, providing a stark, attractive contrast for the ideal angle between the chin and neck. 

Rhinoplasty: Because size matters in facial proportions

Rhinoplasty, or a “nose job,” is primarily focused on balancing your facial profile by altering the size and shape of the nose to be more proportionate to the rest of your features. Rhinoplasties address cosmetic concerns like smoothing out a bump on the bridge of the nose or refining a bulbous nasal tip, and the procedure can also correct functional issues like a deviated septum to promote better breathing. 

So whether you are unhappy with the nose you were born with or it got bent out of shape at some point in your life, Dr. Branman tailors each nose surgery to ensure your nose functions optimally and has masculine traits.

Facelift: Erase the years, not the character

Aging attractively requires supporting and enhancing your unique facial characteristics. A facelift tightens sagging skin, softens deep wrinkles, and restores a firmer, more youthful contour to your face—the goal is for you to look years younger, not like a different person. Dr. Branman makes adjustments to the skin and underlying facial musculature to preserve the natural masculinity of the jawline and lower face.

Because a facelift does not treat the eye and brow areas, many guys also add a brow lift and/or eyelid lift to refresh the entire face. Here’s why:

• With age, the brow may droop or sag, giving a tired or aged appearance that doesn’t reflect how you feel or your performance capabilities. A brow lift raises the eyebrows and reduces forehead creases to give a more alert, engaged appearance. 
• An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from around the eyes to eliminate the worn, washed-up look that can come with age and sometimes to correct vision impairments caused by drooping eyelids. The result is a more open, younger look that highlights your eyes without altering the unique expressions that define your character.

Tummy tuck: Sculpt your six-pack

For men who have experienced significant weight loss after weight loss injections or with lifestyle changes, it is common for excess loose skin to settle around the midsection, which even the most intense workouts can’t touch. This ends up hiding the chiseled abdomen you’ve worked so hard to achieve. 

Men who have carried extra body weight for a time may also have abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) or an umbilical (belly button) hernia, which can cause discomfort and make daily activities and exercise more challenging. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and any lingering fat deposits, tightens the abdominal muscles, and repairs herniations if needed, to create a firmer, flatter stomach. The procedure also often helps reduce back pain, thanks to the improved abdominal muscle support.

Dr. Branman’s techniques for male tummy tucks are focused on enhancing masculine abdominal contours—not creating curvy silhouettes which is typically the goal for female patients—so there is no concern of having a feminine midsection appearance after your surgery. 

“Another so-called cosmetic surgeon butchered me when I required cosmetic repairs in 2017. I was so humiliated for years: it was worse than the problem he was supposed to fix. Dr. Branman fixed what the other surgeon botched, and did a great job! He’s exceptionally skilled, friendly, professional, and I can’t recommend him enough!”

Liposuction: Sculpt your best body

Liposuction is the Swiss army knife of cosmetic procedures: it can enhance the results of nearly any surgical procedure or be a standalone treatment to target localized fat deposits. Dr. Branman uses liposuction to define areas such as the arms, thighs, back, waist, and abdomen to reveal more of your natural muscle tone. Neck liposuction is an ideal treatment for “double chin” reduction, creating that sharp angle that is the mark of a youthful, masculine profile.

Male chest reduction: Go shirtless with confidence 

Male chest reduction, or gynecomastia surgery, removes fat deposits and excess breast tissue to smooth and tone the pectoral regions of the chest. Gynecomastia is often genetic and can even occur in fairly lean individuals. Dr. Branman uses liposuction and excises glandular tissue if needed to correct uneven or overly large breasts in men. Overall, it’s a minimally invasive procedure that can significantly improve self-image and comfort, especially when wearing form-fitting shirts or going shirtless.
