Look Better, Feel Stronger: 3 Leading Procedures Men Are Choosing Today

The Top 3 Procedures Men Are Choosing to Look Better, Feel Stronger, and Live with Confidence

He had grown tired of seeing someone else in the mirror. What used to be a chiseled jawline now melted into a soft, undefined neck. His chest and belly didn’t reflect the work he put in at the gym. Even his eyes told a story of exhaustion he didn’t feel. And while he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, his energy just wasn’t the same. He didn’t want to overhaul his life—he wanted subtle but powerful changes to bring him back to the man he knew he was. Like many men today, he started looking into modern aesthetic treatments not to become someone else, but to reclaim himself.

Cosmetic procedures are no longer a women-only domain. Men now account for more than 1.3 million aesthetic procedures annually, and that number is rising every year, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons [1].  In fact, nearly 15% of all cosmetic surgery patients are men, with the most popular procedures focused on enhancing masculinity, restoring vitality, and looking as energetic as they feel.

If you’re a man considering a change, here are the top three procedures that are transforming how men look—and how they feel.

  1. Liposuction: Reclaiming Definition in the Belly, Chest, Flanks, and Neck

When hours in the gym and clean eating don’t give you the shape you’re working for, liposuction can help target the areas where fat tends to stick. For men, that’s most commonly the abdomen, flanks (love handles), chest, and submental area (under the chin).

More than 325,000 liposuction procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2023 alone, making it the number one cosmetic surgery for men [1]. It’s not just about vanity—it’s about proportion, balance, and confidence in and out of clothes.

Liposuction is not weight loss surgery; it’s a body contouring procedure. What most men don’t realize is that it can be done in-office under local anesthesia, especially when treating isolated areas like the neck or chest. For more extensive work, general anesthesia in a hospital or surgical center setting is an option. Many men return to work in less than a week and are back at the gym within a month.

Gynecomastia—or male breast enlargement—is another concern liposuction addresses. Though it affects up to 65% of middle-aged and older men [2], it’s rarely discussed. Through a combination of fat removal and gland excision (if needed), liposuction can restore a flatter, firmer chest with minimal scarring and long-lasting results.

What surprises many men is how small the incisions are—just a few millimeters—and how natural the results look. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, it’s nearly impossible to tell you’ve had anything done. That’s the goal: results that speak for themselves without saying a word.

  1. Upper Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty): Reawakening the Eyes

Drooping eyelids aren’t just a cosmetic issue—they can make you look tired, older, or even unfriendly. In some cases, they can even interfere with your vision. Upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a precise procedure that removes excess skin and sometimes a small amount of fat to restore a more alert, approachable appearance.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, eyelid surgery ranks in the top five cosmetic procedures for men, with over 31,000 procedures performed annually [1].

What many don’t realize is that upper blepharoplasty can often be performed in-office under local anesthesia, without the need for general anesthesia or a lengthy recovery. Most men experience swelling and bruising for about a week, but discomfort is minimal, and downtime is short.

A unique and lesser-known benefit of an upper eyelid lift is the functional improvement—some men report better peripheral vision and even less fatigue at the end of the day due to decreased eye strain.

Another subtle bonus? When your eyes appear more open and less heavy, people often interpret that as being more engaged, confident, and energized—qualities that go a long way in professional and personal relationships.

  1. Hormone Optimization: The Foundation of Vitality

Sometimes, it’s not just what you see in the mirror that’s concerning—it’s how you feel. Low testosterone levels, or andropause, can lead to fatigue, irritability, weight gain, reduced muscle mass, and decreased libido. But it’s not just about sex drive. Hormone levels also impact brain function, bone density, cardiovascular health, and muscle recovery.

That’s where hormone optimization steps in.

While creams, injections, and oral medications are common delivery methods, pellet therapy is a game-changer. These tiny pellets—custom-compounded for your specific hormone needs—are inserted just under the skin. Over time, they release a steady stream of bioidentical hormones, avoiding the peaks and crashes associated with other forms.

This consistent delivery helps stabilize mood, energy, and cognitive clarity. A 2021 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology found that men receiving pellet therapy experienced improved memory, focus, and emotional stability compared to other methods [3].

Pellet therapy typically requires a brief visit every 4 to 6 months, with lab work to monitor levels. Patients often notice increased muscle strength, deeper sleep, enhanced stamina, and better workout recovery within weeks of treatment.

Most men are surprised to learn that hormone optimization has such a wide-reaching impact. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about optimizing performance at every level, from the boardroom to the bedroom to the gym.
