The Rise of Male Cosmetic Surgery
The landscape of cosmetic surgery has changed dramatically. What was once considered exclusively a woman’s domain has evolved into something much more inclusive. Today, men represent one of the fastest-growing demographics in aesthetic medicine, and for good reason. In competitive professional environments, looking energetic, youthful, and confident isn’t vanity – it’s an advantage.
Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, running your own business, or simply want to look as vital as you feel, male cosmetic surgery offers powerful solutions. At Rodeo Surgical Art in Beverly Hills, Dr. Mashhadian has extensive experience helping men achieve their aesthetic goals with natural, masculine results that enhance rather than change who they are.
Why More Men Are Choosing Cosmetic Procedures
The stigma around men seeking cosmetic enhancement has virtually disappeared. Several factors have contributed to this shift:
Professional Competition: In today’s business world, appearance matters. Looking tired, aged, or out of shape can impact how others perceive your capabilities and energy level.
Video Conferencing: The rise of Zoom and virtual meetings means we’re seeing our own faces more than ever. Many men have become acutely aware of features they’d like to improve.
Social Media & Dating: Online dating and social media have made physical appearance more prominent in both personal and professional spheres.
Improved Techniques: Modern procedures offer natural results with minimal downtime, making them accessible to busy professionals who can’t take extended time off.
Cultural Acceptance: Celebrities and high-profile businessmen openly discuss their procedures, normalizing cosmetic enhancement for men.
Preventative Approach: Younger men are taking a proactive approach to aging, starting treatments in their 30s and 40s rather than waiting until concerns become severe.
Understanding Male Aesthetic Goals
Here’s what sets male cosmetic surgery apart: the goals are fundamentally different. Men don’t want to look feminine or “done.” They want to maintain strong, masculine features while addressing specific concerns. The ideal outcome? People think you look great, refreshed, and successful – but can’t quite put their finger on what’s different.
Dr. Mashhadian understands this distinction intimately. His approach to male patients focuses on:
- Preserving and enhancing masculine facial structure
- Maintaining angular, defined features
- Creating natural results that don’t compromise facial expression
- Minimal downtime that fits busy professional schedules
- Discretion and privacy throughout the process
Top Cosmetic Surgery Procedures for Men
1. Male Rhinoplasty: The Power of a Strong Profile
Your nose is the central feature of your face, and its shape significantly impacts your overall appearance. Male rhinoplasty differs from female nose surgery in important ways – the goal is maintaining masculine proportions while correcting specific concerns.
What Men Seek:
- Removing a dorsal hump or bump on the bridge
- Straightening a crooked or deviated nose
- Refining a bulbous or wide tip
- Correcting breathing issues alongside aesthetic improvements
- Reducing overall nose size while maintaining masculinity
Why It Works for Professionals: A well-proportioned nose creates facial harmony and can make you appear more confident and authoritative. Many men report feeling more comfortable in photos and video calls after rhinoplasty.
Recovery Timeline: Splint removed after one week. Most men return to desk work within 7-10 days. Strenuous activity resumes at 3-4 weeks. Full results visible at one year, though major improvements are apparent within weeks.
2. Gynecomastia Surgery: Reclaiming Your Masculine Chest
Gynecomastia – enlarged male breast tissue – affects up to 50% of men at some point in their lives. Whether caused by hormones, weight fluctuations, medications, or genetics, this condition can severely impact confidence and quality of life.
The Solution: Male breast reduction surgery removes excess glandular tissue and fat, creating a flat, masculine chest contour. The procedure typically combines liposuction with direct tissue excision through minimal incisions around the areola.
Life-Changing Results: Men who undergo gynecomastia surgery often describe it as life-changing. The ability to wear fitted shirts, go shirtless at the beach or gym, and feel comfortable in intimate situations without self-consciousness is invaluable.
What to Expect: Surgery takes 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. Most men return to office work within 3-5 days. Compression garments are worn for 4-6 weeks. Exercise resumes gradually starting at 3-4 weeks. Final results visible at 3-6 months.
3. Male Liposuction & Body Contouring: Sculpting Athletic Definition
Even men who exercise regularly and eat well often struggle with stubborn fat deposits that resist all efforts. Male liposuction strategically removes these fat deposits to reveal underlying muscle definition and create a more athletic physique.
Popular Treatment Areas for Men:
- Abdomen and love handles
- Chest (often combined with gynecomastia surgery)
- Flanks and lower back
- Chin and neck (submental area)
- Inner and outer thighs
HD Liposuction for Athletic Sculpting: High-definition liposuction takes body contouring to the next level, creating visible muscle definition by selectively removing fat around natural muscle groups. This technique is ideal for fit men who want enhanced ab definition or a more chiseled appearance.
Lipo360 for Men: This comprehensive approach addresses the entire midsection circumferentially – abdomen, flanks, and lower back – creating balanced, masculine proportions and a V-shaped torso.
Recovery: Most men return to desk work within 3-5 days. Compression garments worn for 4-6 weeks. Light exercise at 2 weeks, full workouts at 4-6 weeks. Results improve over 3-6 months as swelling resolves.
4. Facelift & Neck Lift: Looking as Young as You Feel
Male facelifts have become increasingly popular among professionals in their 50s, 60s, and beyond who want to eliminate jowls, tighten loose neck skin, and restore more youthful facial contours without looking “pulled” or artificial.
Male Facelift Considerations: The technique differs from female facelifts. Dr. Mashhadian preserves masculine jaw angles and avoids over-tightening that can create a feminine appearance. Incisions are carefully placed to work with male hairlines and facial hair patterns.
What It Addresses:
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Loose, sagging neck skin (turkey neck)
- Deep nasolabial folds
- Sagging mid-face and cheeks
- Overall facial laxity
The Neck Lift Advantage: Many men benefit tremendously from neck lift surgery, which tightens the platysma muscles and removes excess skin. A defined jawline and tight neck profile projects success and vitality – critical in professional settings.
Recovery Expectations: Most men take 2 weeks off work. Bruising and swelling peak at 3-5 days. Most swelling resolves within 2-3 weeks. Final results develop over 3-6 months. Results last 7-10+ years.
5. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Looking Alert & Energized
Tired, puffy, or hooded eyes can make you appear exhausted, older, or even disinterested – none of which serve you in professional settings. Male blepharoplasty addresses these concerns while maintaining natural, masculine eye shape.
Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes excess skin that creates a hooded appearance and can even impair peripheral vision. Creates a more open, alert eye appearance.
Lower Eyelid Surgery: Addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles. Can be combined with fat repositioning or removal for optimal results.
Why It’s Popular with Men: This procedure offers dramatic improvement with relatively quick recovery. Most men look refreshed and energized without appearing obviously “done.”
Recovery: Sutures removed at 5-7 days. Most men return to work at 7-10 days. Residual swelling resolves over 2-3 weeks. Final results visible at 2-3 months.
6. Hair Transplant Surgery: Restoring Your Hairline
Hair loss affects approximately 85% of men by age 50. While not traditionally considered cosmetic surgery, hair transplant procedures have advanced tremendously and are increasingly popular among professionals.
Modern Techniques: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvests individual hair follicles from donor areas and transplants them to thinning or balding areas. This creates natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
The Professional Advantage: A full hairline can take years off your appearance and boost confidence in high-stakes professional situations.
7. Chin & Jawline Enhancement: Defining Masculine Features
A strong chin and defined jawline are hallmarks of masculine attractiveness. Men seeking better facial balance often turn to chin augmentation, jawline contouring, or combination procedures.
Surgical Options:
- Chin implants for better projection and definition
- Jawline implants for enhanced jaw angle
- Sliding genioplasty (repositioning the chin bone)
- Liposuction of the neck and jawline
- Combination approaches for comprehensive results
Non-Surgical Alternatives: Dermal fillers can provide temporary enhancement and definition without surgery, ideal for men not ready for permanent changes.
Non-Surgical Options for Men
Not every man needs or wants surgery. Dr. Mashhadian offers comprehensive non-surgical treatments that deliver impressive results with zero downtime:
Injectable Treatments
Botox for Men (Brotox): Smooths forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet while maintaining natural expression. Treatments take 10 minutes with results lasting 3-4 months.
Dermal Fillers: Restore volume, enhance jawline definition, improve under-eye hollows, and reduce deep wrinkles. Popular fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, and Radiesse.
Kybella for Double Chin: Injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, creating better jawline definition without surgery or downtime.
Skin Treatments
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Improves skin texture, reduces sun damage, minimizes large pores, and stimulates collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.
Chemical Peels: Addresses uneven skin tone, sun damage, and fine lines. Various depths available depending on concerns and desired downtime.
Microneedling with PRP: Stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture, tone, and firmness. Minimal downtime with gradual, natural improvement.

What to Expect: The Male Patient Experience
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation where Dr. Mashhadian listens to your concerns and goals. He’ll evaluate your anatomy, discuss realistic outcomes, and explain which procedures would work best for your unique situation. This is your opportunity to ask questions, view before-and-after photos of male patients, and get a clear understanding of costs, recovery, and expected results.
Preparing for Surgery
Dr. Mashhadian provides detailed pre-operative instructions including any necessary lab work, medication adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. Most procedures are performed at state-of-the-art, accredited surgical facilities in Beverly Hills.
Surgery Day
Depending on the procedure, surgery may take 1-4 hours. Most cosmetic surgeries are outpatient, meaning you go home the same day. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
Recovery at Home
Dr. Mashhadian provides comprehensive post-operative instructions and pain management protocols. Most men find recovery less uncomfortable than anticipated. Following instructions carefully ensures optimal healing and results.
Follow-Up Care
Regular follow-up appointments allow Dr. Mashhadian to monitor your healing and address any concerns. He remains accessible throughout your recovery process.
Returning to Work & Life
Recovery timelines vary by procedure:
- Injectable treatments: Immediate return to work
- Minor procedures (chin augmentation): 5-7 days
- Moderate procedures (eyelid surgery, gynecomastia): 7-10 days
- Major procedures (facelift, body contouring): 2-3 weeks
Most men schedule surgery around work commitments, using vacation time or planning procedures during slower business periods.
Investment in Yourself: Cost Considerations
Cosmetic surgery is an investment in your confidence, professional image, and quality of life. Costs vary based on procedure complexity, surgical time, anesthesia, and facility fees.
General Cost Ranges:
- Injectable treatments: $1000-$10,000
- Minor procedures: $3,000-$10,000
- Moderate procedures: $6,000-$12,000
- Major procedures: $10,000-$20,000+
At Rodeo Surgical Art, Dr. Mashhadian provides transparent pricing during consultation with no hidden fees. Financing options are available to make procedures more accessible.
Remember: choosing a surgeon based solely on cost is risky. Your results are permanent, and revision surgery is more expensive and complicated than getting it right the first time. Dr. Mashhadian’s expertise, artistic vision, and consistent results represent exceptional value.
