From Dad Bod to Defined: The Most Popular Cosmetic Procedures for Men

It’s no secret that more men than ever are taking an interest in aesthetics and plastic surgery. According to the 2024 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, men made up about 7% of all plastic surgery procedures — a steady 1% increase from the previous year. Men want to look good, feel confident, and maintain a competitive edge — whether it’s in the boardroom, on the golf course, or in everyday life. If you’ve been curious about what cosmetic procedures are seeing more male clientele, here’s a breakdown of the top trends in men’s aesthetics right now.

Today’s male patients aren’t asking for dramatic changes — they want to look like themselves, just better. The goal is to look refreshed, well-rested, and a little sharper, without losing that masculine edge. Some of the most common non-invasive procedures include:

  • Eyelid Surgery — to get rid of heavy, tired-looking eyes.
  • Botox — to soften lines while keeping natural facial movement.
  • Laser Resurfacing — yes, even men deal with dark spots and broken blood vessels!

Men are typically after results that people notice — but no one can quite put their finger on why they look so good.

What about surgical options for men looking to address their “Dad Bods”? Even with a solid fitness routine, stubborn fat can hang around. Body contouring treatments are popular for helping guys fine-tune areas they’re not happy with, like:

  • Liposuction — for the abs, flanks (love handles), and chest.
  • Tummy Tuck — for areas with mild to moderate skin laxity after major weight loss.
  • Gynecomastia Surgery — male breast reduction to reduce enlarged breast tissue.

What’s really driving this shift in male-focused aesthetics? Confidence. Men aren’t looking to reinvent themselves — they’re taking steps to look how they feel on the inside. Whether it’s aging well, staying competitive in your career, or simply wanting to look your best, there’s no shame in taking care of yourself.
