The number of males seeking surgical procedures to improve their appearance and confidence has significantly increased in recent years. These operations cover anything from correcting cosmetic issues to enhancing general health and wellbeing. Let’s examine the top five surgical procedures that have become more and more common for males and that we offer here at Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina.
One of the most common surgical procedures for men is eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty. The upper eyelid can droop with age as the excess skin increases and can be uncomfortable. This is usually considered partially a medical condition as it can affect visual sites and can be usually described as a ‘heavy’ eyelid, which needs a functional blepharoplasty. A simple procedure removes the excess skin on the upper eyelid, creating more youthful contours around the eyes and making the face look fresher.
With the lower eye, as the years go by, the fat that was held back the muscle surrounding the eye gets weaker and weaker due to genetics and lifestyle. This results in larger and larger eye bags, which can make the face look permanently tired. In these cases a lower eyelid surgery is needed, were we remove the protruding fat and patients look less tired and fresher.
Gynecomastia surgery in Dubai, also known as male breast reduction, is a surgical procedure to correct gynecomastia, a common condition of increased breast size in men. This often results in the breast becoming fatty and even saggy, causing men to be self-conscious about their appearance. Gynecomastia cannot usually be resolved with diet and exercise alone, and therefore, patients visit us at Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai, for corrective surgery. The procedure removes the excess fatty tissue, leaving a flatter, smoother breast shape and the masculine physique they have always wanted.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body. The excess fat around the thighs, stomach, upper arms, buttocks, or waistline that does not respond to exercise or dieting, can be eliminated with liposuction. A patient’s body can be better shaped with liposuction surgery by removing extra fat deposits. Although liposuction is most commonly used to remove fat, it is also one of the greatest procedures for helping a patient improve their shape. The procedure is done using a small, hollow tube known as a cannula, the surgeon will delicately remove the extra fat where suction is used to remove fat cells aiding to better shape a slimmer body.
The rhinoplasty plastic procedure is performed to help correct or reconstruct the shape of the nose. In most cases, rhinoplasty or nose job can enhance the aesthetic appearance and improve the dimensions of the face harmonising and enhancing your features. From a medical point of view, it can also help with nasal functions such as breathing and for a deviated septum when the nasal passage is tilted to one side making one nasal passage smaller than the other. Rhinoplasty is a popular surgery accounting for around 10% of cosmetic surgery requests in the world.
Male intimate surgery encompasses a range of procedures that address various concerns related to the male genitalia. These procedures can include circumcision, penile lengthening, and penile enlargement. While these procedures are often sought for cosmetic reasons, some men may also opt for them for medical or functional reasons. For many men, penoplasty offers more than just physical enhancement. It can significantly boost self-confidence, improve sexual satisfaction, and positively impact their overall well-being. Many patients report feeling more comfortable and confident during intimacy after undergoing penoplasty.
For some men, the decision to consider circumcision arises later in life. While commonly performed on newborns, adult circumcision offers various benefits and can be a viable option for those seeking medical concerns. It is most commonly required when the foreskin is tight (phimosis) and will not retract (paraphimosis). Circumcision can be advised in adults for recurrent medical reasons which can cause severe discomfort in patients.
When considering a surgical procedure, it is essential to consult with a qualified surgeon who specialises in the desired procedure. The surgeon will evaluate your individual needs and goals and recommend the most appropriate treatment. During the consultation, you should discuss your expectations, concerns, and any underlying medical conditions.
The recovery process for each surgical procedure varies, but it typically involves some downtime and discomfort. It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery. This may include taking prescribed medications, avoiding strenuous activity, and attending follow-up appointments.
