Absolutely not! While both men and women seek plastic surgery to improve their appearance, there are significant differences in their procedures, desired results, and even how their bodies respond to the procedures.
A recent podcast episode delves into these key differences:
- Motivation and goals: Women often seek surgery to achieve a more youthful or traditionally feminine appearance, while men prioritize looking healthy, strong, and masculine.
- Popular programs: While some procedures, such as liposuction, are popular among both men and women, other procedures are gender-specific. Women often opt for breast augmentation or cosmetic surgery, while men favor rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery or gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction).
- Biological differences: Men’s skin is thicker and heals differently than women’s, affecting the surgical approach and recovery process.
- Aesthetic considerations: The ideal aesthetics of men and women differ greatly. The surgeon must customize the surgery to achieve the desired male or female appearance.
