6 male cosmetic surgery procedures in Dubai

Men? Vain? Never. Earlier this year, statistics revealed that the number of men having some form of cosmetic surgery is rising by 9 per cent year on year. Men may still be lagging behind women when to comes to overall procedures – 85.7 per cent to 14.3 per cent respectively in 2013 – but there has clearly been a substantial shift in recent years. 

So, what are men having done? Well, while the odd calf implant or six-pack creation are being done, most surgeries are for tweaks and fixes. Like these.

Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty relates to eyelid surgery – mainly the removal of eye bags and other eye surgeries to prevent you from looking like droopy the dog. This is one of the most common procedures with men worldwide, especially as they move into their later years. A couple of days’ pain is worth it just to be able to see before 10am in the morning again.

Hair Transplant
Premature baldness is a complaint that does seem to affect a higher proportion of Middle Eastern men more than their European counterparts – and perhaps as a result is the most popular surgery with men in the GCC. Hair transplant is now the most credible way of fixing the problem and certainly less obvious than the perils of a hairpiece. “Men suffering from hair loss have realised that they now have a choice; they do not have to stay bald for the rest of their lives,” says Anisa Vrabac, head of the Hair Transplant Department at Dubai Cosmetic Surgery. An interesting addition to the therapy is beard transplants, which might be a response to the hipster thatch that emerged mid-2013. Maybe one for Movember?

Liposuction
Why waste time going to the gym when you can solve your diet of burgers with a glorified vacuum cleaner, eh? Liposuction rivals hair transplants as the most popular male cosmetic surgery treatment in Dubai treatments and looking around the nearest mall/pool/cinema, it’s perhaps not difficult to see why. The treatment involves the removal of fatty deposits, most commonly found around the waist area. Easy, sure, but we really do recommend the exercise route – for your health and your wallet.

Gynocomastia
Guess this one for 100 points. Try again, it’s breast reduction for men. Seriously.

Otoplasty
This treatment relates to the ears, and can include anything from the re-shaping of the external ear to resolving trauma associated with the proximity to an explosive blast. The most common procedure is the pinning back of ears that protrude further from the head, or protrude at a greater angle than desired. No more Champions League trophy jokes, then.

Laser treatments
Laser hair removal is zooming up the treatment charts, no doubt with the poolside very much in mind. For anyone picturing Goldfinger standing over you looking menacing, you’ve got the wrong idea. The treatments are common and quick, and can be used to combat a beard that grows too fast, or any undesired body hair. It is also laser treatment that is used for tattoo removal and to combat acne scars, which both definitely add to its popularity.
