Four requests dominate: chest, nose, eyes and jawline. Two of them are usually better solved by a different procedure than the one requested.
Men usually ask for liposuction and need gland excision. Getting this wrong leaves the firm disc behind — the commonest revision request we see in male patients.
Male rhinoplasty aims for a straight dorsum and a defined but not upturned tip. Over-rotation and excessive reduction feminise the face — which is why male noses are usually reduced less than patients expect.
Men typically want to look less tired without looking altered. Conservative upper lid skin removal achieves that; aggressive fat removal creates a hollow, surprised look that reads as obvious surgery.
Many men asking for jaw implants have a submental fat pad and mild skin laxity. Liposuction of the neck, sometimes with a small platysma tightening, produces the definition they want without an implant.
Slightly — men bruise more from higher blood pressure and often return to physical work sooner than advised, which is the main cause of avoidable complications.
