Beauty and the Beasts | Episode 7: Male Plastic Surgery What Men Want and What Works

In this episode of Beauty and the Beasts, plastic surgeons Dr. Sam Jejurikar and Dr. Salvatore Pacella discuss the growing demand for male plastic surgery and why treating male patients requires a fundamentally different approach than female aesthetic surgery.

Male cosmetic surgery is no longer rare. What was once stigmatized has become increasingly common, with more men seeking procedures that help them look refreshed, competitive, and confident without appearing operated on. In this conversation, the surgeons explore why subtlety matters in men and how surgical techniques must preserve masculine features.

Topics discussed include:

- Why plastic surgery in men carries a different stigma than in women
- How male cosmetic surgery has increased across all age groups
- The most common procedures men request today
- Liposuction for men including the male triad of abdomen, flanks, and chest
- Gynecomastia and chest contouring in male patients
- Upper eyelid blepharoplasty as the most common facial surgery in men
- The relationship between the brow and eyelids in male patients
- Why feminization is the biggest risk in male facial surgery
- Differences in male versus female neck lift techniques
- Jawline definition and strategies to maintain a masculine appearance
- Scar placement challenges in men and how surgeons work to hide incisions
- Volume management in the male face and why less is more
- High profile examples of male plastic surgery in the public eye
- Hair restoration in men including modern hair transplant techniques
- Follicular unit extraction versus older strip harvesting methods

The episode emphasizes that successful male plastic surgery depends on experience, restraint, and a deep understanding of male anatomy and aesthetics. Procedures that look natural in women can look unnatural or feminizing in men if not carefully adapted.

This episode is ideal for men considering cosmetic surgery, patients researching male blepharoplasty, neck lift for men, male liposuction, or hair restoration, and clinicians interested in sex specific surgical planning.
