Why Do More Men Take Cosmetic Procedures?
A question that is frequently asked of Dr. Sheetal Mithran is:
“What treatments are there for men to improve their appearance?”
Many people consider cosmetic treatments as just a female treatment. According to Dr. Sheetal, that’s not the case.
There are also cosmetic procedures for men to choose from to address issues with the face, skin, hair, and body. The same cosmetic treatments available for women are also available for men, depending on their individual concerns.
If you see that some area of your body is not making you feel confident, you may be able to get that area treated and make you feel better.
Men also seek cosmetic procedures for concerns related to the face, skin, hair, and body. One example is gynecomastia, a common concern among men. An Indian study published in the Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery reported the surgical correction of 1,159 male gynecomastia cases, highlighting the significant number of men seeking treatment for excess or enlarged chest tissue.

What Body Treatments Do Men Commonly Choose?
Men come to Dr. Sheetal’s Aesthetic Clinic with different body concerns. Two concerns that come up often are excess chest tissue and stubborn body fat.
Gynecomastia Surgery for Excess Chest Tissue
Gynecomastia is one of the concerns Dr. Sheetal sees in male patients.
Dr. Sheetal Mithran has performed 100+ gynecomastia surgeries, helping men who are concerned about excess chest tissue or an undefined chest shape.
Some men may have excess fat, glandular tissue, or a combination of both. The right treatment depends on the individual concern and the assessment during consultation.
If your chest makes you feel uncomfortable in fitted clothes or when you are shirtless, a consultation can help you understand whether gynecomastia surgery is suitable for you.
Hair Loss Treatment for Men
Hair loss is another concern Dr. Sheetal sees regularly in the clinic.
Men may come with a receding hairline, thinning hair, hair fall, or baldness. Depending on the condition, different treatment options may be considered.
PRP Treatment for Hair Loss
PRP is one of the hair-loss treatments regularly used for suitable patients.
Many men visit the clinic with concerns about hair fall and thinning hair, and PRP may be recommended depending on the patient’s hair and scalp condition.
For men with more advanced hair loss or baldness, a hair transplant may be considered after proper evaluation.
The right treatment depends on the cause and stage of hair loss, so consultation is important before choosing a treatment.
Liposuction for Stubborn Belly Fat and Love Handles
Liposuction is another cosmetic treatment commonly chosen by male patients.
Stubborn belly fat and love handles can sometimes remain even after diet and exercise. Liposuction can help remove excess fat from selected areas and improve the overall body contour.
At Dr. Sheetal’s Aesthetic Clinic, male patients regularly come for consultation regarding stubborn belly fat and other areas where they want better body definition.
Which skin treatments are available for males?
Women are not the only ones who have skin problems. Many men also wish to remove the uneven tone, pigmentation, acne scars, or big pores in the skin.
Laser Treatments and Chemical Peels for Uneven Skin Tone
If your skin looks uneven in skin color or pigmentation, laser therapy and/or chemical peels may be necessary to improve the appearance of your skin.
Laser Treatments and Microneedling for Acne Scars and Enlarged Pores
Acne scars and enlarged pores can be improved with laser treatments and microneedling.
Other frequently occurring issues include enlarged pores and acne scars.
Laser treatments or microneedling might be recommended, depending on skin type.
What Facial Cosmetic Procedures Are Available for Men?
Some men want to improve some parts of their face, such as the nose or jawline.
Rhinoplasty for Nose Shape Correction
If the shape of your nose is not your preference, rhinoplasty surgery might be a good choice.
Based on the face shape and personal issues, an approach is recommended.
Jawline Contouring
Some men are looking for a more defined and stronger jawline.
Dr. Sheetal Mithran mentions that there are two methods when it comes to achieving jawline contouring.
Jawline implants: These implants are placed by surgery.
Jawline fillers are non-surgical fillers used for this purpose.
This will depend on the objectives you are aiming for and the form of your face.
