Cosmetic surgery for men is becoming increasingly popular, and men aren’t immune to it. Many men will also seek out treatments, including male breast reduction, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery to continue looking youthful. However, you must be well informed before you decide to undergo any cosmetic surgery procedure.

So, what are some tips for men considering cosmetic surgery?
1. It’s more popular than you think
Many men may be hesitant to seek out cosmetic surgery as it seems like it is unpopular or only something that women do. However, this is factually incorrect. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 1.3 million men underwent aesthetic procedures in 2017. Some of the most popular procedures include male breast reduction, liposuction and abdominoplasty. So if you’re putting off having a cosmetic procedure because it seems like no other men are having surgery – rest assured that you’re not alone.
2. Make sure to do your research
Before deciding to go under the knife, you’ll need to do your research. Make sure you research the procedure you will have so you are comfortable discussing it with your surgeon. Next, research your surgeon and the clinic they work with. Is the surgeon registered? In the U.K., you will be able to find out this information at the GMC register. See if you can find out the surgeon’s background – their education, where they have worked, and their reviews. If you do not trust the surgeon or the clinic, walk away.
3. Attend a consultation
Prior to having any cosmetic procedure – whether surgical or non-surgical – you will need to attend a consultation. This will allow the surgeon to assess whether or not you are eligible for this procedure and are undertaking it for the right reasons. The consultation will also allow you to become more informed about the procedure and ask any questions. However, some clinics will have you meet with a patient consultant or salesperson during your consultation. This means you will not meet with your surgeon until the day of your procedure. You must meet with your surgeon prior to undergoing your surgery. It lets you see if you trust and feel comfortable around them. You may wish to undergo numerous consultations at various clinics to see which surgeon you like best before committing to your surgery.

4. Follow all pre-op and post-op instructions
All procedures have their risks. One way to minimise the risks is by following the surgeon’s pre-operative and post-operative instructions. For example, all procedures will require that you stop smoking before the surgery and throughout the recovery period. This is because smoking can interfere with wound healing and can cause other complications after the procedure. You may also be given other instructions, such as stopping certain medications. If you do not follow these instructions, the surgeon may decide not to proceed with the procedure as it may be deemed too risky.

5. Beware of low-cost options
Cosmetic surgery can sometimes seem expensive. However, this is with good reason. The cost will generally include the surgeon, hospital costs, anaesthetist and aftercare. Some companies will offer you discounts or package deals. Before signing up, make sure you do your research. Do these cheaper options include aftercare costs? Is the surgeon qualified? Is the clinic up to standards? Often, choosing the cheapest choice can cost you more in the long run, especially if you have complications and need to book a follow-up procedure. That will generally happen if the cost seems too good to be true.
6. Stay in contact with your cosmetic surgeon
Having the procedure doesn’t mean you’ll never see or hear from your surgeon again. You will often hear from the surgeon or their team during your recovery if you have undergone a surgical cosmetic procedure. You may be required to attend follow-up appointments, particularly if you need stitches or dressing removed. These appointments allow the surgeon to see how your recovery progresses and ensure no complications occur. It is important that you choose a clinic which allows you to contact and visit the surgeon during your recovery period. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t hesitate to call your surgeon or book an appointment.
