As the pandemic enters its third year, our patients are getting their bodies ready for post-pandemic life. Imagine returning to parties and beers after work and vacations—we can’t wait! As the pandemic comes to an end, we’ve seen an uptick in plastic surgery requests for many types of surgery, but especially with our male patients.
Why are more men choosing plastic surgery? Which procedures are the most popular for men after the pandemic?
Why Men Are Choosing Post-Pandemic Plastic Surgery
Want to Look Their Best as They Return to the Office – Work from home has been great for the commute but not as good for the appearance. Look your best as you return to the office with plastic surgery.
Body Changes from Pandemic Pounds – If your weight has changed because of the pandemic, you’re not alone. Approximately 39% of U.S. men reported unwanted weight gain during the first year of the pandemic, with an average gain of nearly 40 pounds. You may be left with loose skin or unwanted body changes when you lose that weight. Turn to body sculpting treatments to restore your body after pandemic weight fluctuations.
Ready to Hit the Dating Scene Again – Dating is always a challenge, but pandemic dating can be nearly impossible. If you’re prepared to put yourself back out there, plastic surgery can give you a boost of confidence. Many of our male patients are excited to tighten and tone before reentering the dating scene.
Discreet Plastic Surgery – If you’ve always wanted plastic surgery but don’t want everyone to know, use the pandemic as an excuse. It is easier than ever to take a few days off or to work from home for a few weeks. Before the pandemic is entirely over, squeeze in a final procedure or two.
Ready to Schedule Medical Treatments – The pandemic made medical care temporarily more challenging due to restrictions and the need for social distancing. Now that things are finally starting to open up again, many men are scheduling the procedures they put on pause two years ago.
Which Procedures Are Most Popular for Men After the COVID-19 Pandemic
Plastic surgery for men is becoming more popular, especially since the start of the pandemic. Which procedures are our male patients choosing most frequently? Some of the most popular treatments for men in Ann Arbor include:
Non-surgical options are popular for post-pandemic touch-ups, too. Dermal fillers and Botox are both popular treatments for men. These injectables can address wrinkles or facial volume loss with a quick 15-minute procedure; they are popular with men who want to refresh their appearance without missing work. No downtime is needed after Botox or fillers.
