According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 30 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2024. Of these, just over 1.7 million—or 6%—were performed on males. Since 2000, the number of male cosmetic procedures has increased by 28%, reflecting a clear and growing interest from an often-underrepresented population in the field of aesthetic surgery.
Despite this upward trend, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive resources dedicated specifically to male aesthetic procedures. While there are many texts that delve into a broad range of topics in plastic surgery, few focus solely on the unique needs of male patients.
Aesthetic Surgery for Men is among the first comprehensive volumes devoted entirely to the male aesthetic experience, addressing both surgical and nonsurgical treatments. Covering a wide range of procedures—from gynecomastia correction to rhinoplasty to hair restoration—this book is divided into four distinct sections, offering in-depth guidance across the spectrum of male-focused aesthetic care. Real patient photographs are included throughout to fully illustrate each technique.
Edited by leading experts committed to de-stigmatizing male aesthetic care and featuring contributions from both seasoned professionals and rising practitioners in the field, Aesthetic Surgery for Men aims to meet the growing demand of male patients and serves as a valuable resource for the ever-learning plastic surgeon.
