Popular Male Surgeries Right Now

popular male surgeries

The number of men undergoing cosmetic procedures has increased dramatically in recent years. While they still make up a smaller percentage of cosmetic surgery patients overall, the stigma surrounding male cosmetic surgery is slowly fading. This has led to more men than ever before seeking out ways to improve their appearance and boost their confidence.

In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most popular male surgeries right now.

Rhinoplasty

Men, just like women, can feel self-conscious or unhappy with the appearance of their nose. A nose that is too large or misshapen can impact a man’s overall appearance and self-confidence, which can in turn lead to a desire to change its appearance through rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves reshaping the nose to improve its appearance or function. It can be performed to address a wide range of concerns, such as reducing the size or width of the nose, correcting asymmetry, or improving its overall shape to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.

Chin and jaw implants

Another popular male surgery procedure right now is chin and jaw implants. A well-defined chin and jawline are considered desirable masculine features. A strong chin and jawline can create a more defined, chiselled appearance that is often associated with strength and attractiveness.

Men who have a weak or receding chin or a narrow, undefined jawline, may feel self-conscious about their appearance. Chin and jaw implants can help to address these concerns, providing a more aesthetically pleasing and balanced facial profile.

Inserted behind the jaw, underneath the chin, or inside the mouth, scarring is minimal, and the recovery time is extremely quick.

Tummy tuck

Another popular cosmetic procedure men can’t get enough of is a tummy tuck. This procedure is typically more extensive than liposuction, which solely removes excess fat.

Many men struggle with excess abdominal skin and weakened muscles due to factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics. These issues can be difficult to address through diet and exercise alone, which can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction with one’s appearance.

A tummy tuck can help to create a flatter and more toned abdomen, which can improve body confidence and self-esteem. It can also provide functional benefits, such as improved posture and reduced back pain, by strengthening the abdominal muscles.

Eyelid lift

An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is also proving popular with male patients. Just like women, as men age, they may experience a loss of elasticity in the skin around the eyes. This can lead to drooping eyelids, puffiness, and bags under the eyes, giving an older, tired, or even angry appearance.

Blepharoplasty can help to tighten the skin around the eyes, remove excess fat deposits, and smooth out wrinkles and lines in the area. This can result in a more youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance. An eyelid lift can also improve vision by removing any excess skin that may be obstructing the field of view.

These are just some of the popular male surgeries carried out at clinics across the UK. To find out about your suitability, and to book any of these procedures, contact Mr Paul Tulley today.

Labiaplasty For Treating Labial Hypertrophy

labial hypertrophy

Labial hypertrophy is a condition that affects many women in the UK, causing an enlarged or asymmetrical labia. While labial asymmetry is perfectly normal, it can still take a toll on our self-confidence. The good news is that labial hypertrophy is typically harmless and can be addressed with cosmetic surgery if desired.

So, if you’re feeling self-conscious about your labia, know that you’re not alone, and there are options available to help you feel your best, such as a labiaplasty.

What causes labial hypertrophy?

Enlarged labia often have no underlying cause and can change in size and shape throughout a woman’s life due to hormonal fluctuations and ageing. Pregnancy can also cause labial hypertrophy due to increased blood flow to the area. In some cases, labial hypertrophy is genetic and can be present from birth or seen before puberty.

While it’s rare for any woman to have perfectly symmetrical labia, an obvious difference in size between the two can lead to a loss of self-esteem. It’s important to note that this condition is typically harmless and not linked to any serious medical conditions.

What is a labiaplasty?

Labiaplasty, also called a labia reduction, is a surgical procedure for women who feel their labia minora is too large or asymmetrical.

The procedure involves removing excess tissue from the labia and reshaping them to achieve a more desirable appearance. It can also be used to correct issues with asymmetry. The surgery is typically performed under local or general anaesthetic, and usually takes between one to two hours.

Patients may experience some swelling and bruising in the area after the procedure, and will need to avoid sexual activity and strenuous exercise for several weeks.

Can a labiaplasty be used to increase volume?

A labiaplasty isn’t just beneficial for reducing the size and altering the shape of the labia. It can also be used to increase the volume if preferred.

Labiaplasty with fat transfer is a surgical procedure that increases the volume of the labia majora. Often performed in conjunction with laser energy treatments, the goal is to achieve optimal results.

During the procedure, which typically lasts between 30-60 minutes, the patient is under local anaesthetic. Fat is removed from another area of the body, purified, and then carefully injected in thin layers into the labia majora. This technique ensures a natural-looking result.

If you are interested in undergoing a labiaplasty, book a consultation with Mr Paul Tulley today.

What Nose Problems Can a Rhinoplasty Fix?

Nose Problems

Rhinoplasty has remained one of the most popular cosmetic procedures carried out in the UK for decades. When done correctly, it has the power to boost confidence, and significantly alter the way you look. Prior to undergoing a rhinoplasty, it helps to know what kind of aesthetic nose problems it can address.

To give you a better idea of whether a nose job is right for you, here we will look at what the surgery can and can’t do.

What nose problems can a rhinoplasty fix?

When carried out correctly, a rhinoplasty procedure can help to fix a range of issues. Here’s a brief rundown of some of the most common nose problems the procedure can address…

Reducing the size of the nose:

For those who feel their nose is too large in relation to their other facial features a rhinoplasty can reduce the size of the nose, softening its appearance and producing a nose of more optimal appearance. This significantly improves the appearance of the face and often enhances other features such as the eyes or lips.

The nose is reduced in all proportions: projection, length and width and the tip is usually refined.

Improving the bridge profile, removing bumps or dips:

Rhinoplasty can also help you to straighten any dips or bumps within the nose. These can be caused by an injury, or genetics. In the event of trauma, scar tissue and new bone can form, causing lumps in the nose. In genetic cases, the bone or cartilage may have overdeveloped.

The surgeon will be able to smooth any dips, and flatten bumps, leaving behind a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing result.

Reducing the size of the tip:

Rhinoplasty usually involves refining the nasal tip to produce a nose of optimal proportion. It can also increase tip support and correct tip asymmetry when required.

Fixing a crooked nose:

Whether you were born with a crooked nose, or you have suffered an injury, rhinoplasty can help to straighten it out. The nose will appear crooked if the septum or nasal bones are not sitting in the centre of the face or are asymmetric.

A number of rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty techniques are used to correct these issues. These involve straightening and symmetrising the nasal skeleton, usually resulting in improved air flow and breathing.

Correcting the results of previous unsatisfactory rhinoplasty’s surgery:

A revision rhinoplasty is used to correct the results of previous unsatisfactory surgery. A range of techniques are used dependent on the individual requirements to produce a nose of optimal shape and proportions. This may involve adding a number of cartilage grafts either from the nose itself, or elsewhere such as the ear or rib in some cases.

What nose problems can’t a rhinoplasty fix?

While a rhinoplasty procedure can help improve the look of the nose in relation to the rest of the face, it may not be able to give you the exact same nose as somebody else as they may have different qualities or types of tissues such as skin quality and thickness.

How Long Will a Facelift Last?

Will a Facelift Last

Thinking of having a facelift? If so, you’re not alone. One of the most common cosmetic procedures carried out in the UK, a facelift can help to eliminate the signs of ageing, making you appear up to 10-15 years younger.

A common question many patients have is how long will the results last? Here, we look at how long you can expect to enjoy the results of a facelift and how they can be enhanced.

How long do facelift results last?

A facelift produces the longest-lasting results of any anti-ageing facial treatment and should last ten to fifteen years depending on the extent of surgery performed and surgical technique. The expertise and skill of the surgeon that performs the procedure and the type of procedure(s) chosen are very important.

Your face continues to age over time but usually at a slower rate after facelift surgery due to the fibrous tissue laid down after the procedure providing additional support. The length of time the procedure holds back the signs of ageing will vary between patients depending on a number of factors. These include avoiding smoking and excessive sun exposure, avoiding a stressful job and/or lack of sleep, patient nutrition and genetic factors.

Combining a facelift with additional facial procedures results in a more comprehensive correction that is likely to be more durable over time.

What other procedures can you undergo to enhance results?

Cosmetic surgeries such as a neck lift, liposuction, eyelid surgery, fat transfer and a browlift can all help to produce more extensive results.

Patients will usually continue to be treated with other adjunctive treatments such as cosmetic injectables, skin treatments such as mild chemical peels and hydrafacials, and fillers in some cases after their facelift. They may also undergo smaller surgical procedures such as facial fat grafting after a number of years to help maintain the results over time.

Following adequate aftercare advice will help, alongside making sure you are fit and healthy before you undergo surgery.

To find out if a facelift is right for you and the kind of results you can expect, book a consultation with Mr Paul Tulley today. He will be able to advise you on any additional procedures you may find useful to achieve your desired results, as well as run through your individual risks.

Cosmetic Surgery After Weight Loss

Surgery After Weight Loss

Weight loss is something many people strive for, and it can deliver excellent health benefits. However, many patients are left frustrated and embarrassed after losing a large amount of weight due to leftover excess skin. You may be left with loose, heavy folds that hang down from the stomach, arms, and legs.

The only way to eliminate this excess skin is through surgery. However, before jumping in and undergoing cosmetic surgery after weight loss, there are things you’ll need to consider.

How long should I wait before undergoing surgery?

Ideally, you should wait at least 18 months after losing weight to undergo cosmetic surgery. This gives the skin plenty of chance to shrink and ensures your weight loss is stable. You should quit smoking, and ensure you are generally healthy before the procedure. This will limit complications and improve the results.

What is body contouring and how can it help?

After weight loss, patients can undergo a number of body contouring procedures. These include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Tummy tuck
  • Lower body lift
  • Thigh lift
  • Arm lift
  • Breast surgery

Anywhere that excess skin and fat has been left over can be treated with an effective procedure. The goal of body contouring surgeries is to target small areas of the body. They correct issues that can’t be fixed through diet and exercise.

According to research, patients who undergo body contouring procedures after weight loss experience significant improvement in their emotional wellbeing, quality of life, physical function, and body image satisfaction.

Can I undergo multiple surgeries at once?

Multiple surgeries may be recommended to help you achieve your dream body. For example, liposuction may be carried out alongside an arm lift. Various procedures can be carried out at the same time, though this will depend on your overall health.

Sometimes combining different surgeries is the best way to achieve the results you are looking for. You can speak to your surgeon to determine which procedures are right for you.

If you have recently lost a lot of weight and you have been left with excess skin or fat, book a consultation with Mr Paul Tulley today. He will help you choose the best procedures to address the issue, leaving you with your dream, toned body that you worked hard for.

The Best Winter Cosmetic Procedures

cosmetic procedures

Want to achieve the perfect summer body this year? Undergoing cosmetic procedures during winter is the best way to ensure you get results in time for the summer season.

There are several reasons why going under the knife in winter is beneficial. So, what are the benefits and what are the best winter procedures you can undergo?

The benefits of having cosmetic surgery in winter

Winter is one of the best times of year to undergo cosmetic surgery. You get more time off work, which makes it easier to schedule in the downtime required. Major procedures such as a tummy tuck, facelift, or breast augmentation, can take months to fully heal. The bruising and swelling commonly left behind can also take weeks to clear up.

Depending upon the type of procedure you undergo, you may be required to wear a compression garment. In the summer months, this could prove to be uncomfortable. However, as it is colder in winter, you may even find that the garment makes you feel warmer, and more comfortable.

As many cosmetic surgeries leave behind temporary short-term physical scarring and bruising, it can be difficult to hide them in spring and summer. In winter however, you naturally cover up more, making it easier to hide any work you have had done.

These are just some of the reasons you may want to undergo a winter procedure.

What are the best winter cosmetic procedures?

Some procedures are better performed in winter than others. The main types of procedures to consider at this time of year include:

  • Liposuction
  • Breast augmentation
  • Facelift

Liposuction is one of the few procedures that require you to wear a compression garment for a period of time. Not only is this more comfortable to wear in winter, but the cold can also prevent excessive swelling. The results can take months to properly show, though you will see some improvement instantly. So, if you have the procedure in winter, you should enjoy the results in summer.

The same applies for breast augmentation and facelifts. The latter is known to have a lengthy recovery, while breast augmentation will also require a period of downtime. The results can take months to fully reveal themselves, making winter the perfect time to have them done.

If you want to achieve your dream summer body this year, book a consultation with Mr Paul Tulley today.

“I’ve always felt embarrassed by my out-of-proportion, chunky upper arms”

Paul Tulley Arm Lift Results in the Daily Mail

Presenter and showbiz journalist Ellie Phillips recently opened up to the Daily Mail about undergoing a mini brachioplasty procedure with Mr Paul Tulley and how the results have transformed her self-confidence.

“I’ve always felt embarrassed by my out-of-proportion, chunky upper arms that, in my opinion, simply didn’t match my size 8 body. I’m ashamed to admit that I have even used photo-editing apps to slim them down for social media posts.

“So, what changed? Last September, I became one of very few people in Britain to undergo a highly specialised arm lift procedure costing £8,500 to remove the stubborn excess skin and fat once and for all.

It’s major surgery, very painful, will take six months to fully heal and — due to my insistence on returning to work too soon — resulted in complications. But my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

I had already heard of arm lifts, or brachioplasty, but was put off by the potential risk of scarring from the elbow to armpit. Then, early last year, during one of my regular Google searches for new arm procedures, I started to see mentions of a less invasive procedure, dubbed a ‘mini’ arm lift.

A standard brachioplasty involves two incisions from armpit to elbow. The loose skin is removed and the skin stitched together along that line — leaving a long scar on each arm.

With a mini brachioplasty, however, there is a single incision under the armpit through which skin and fat is removed. It meant you’d just be left with one small scar under each armpit, invisible from almost every angle.

Finally, after speaking to several doctors, I found Dr Paul Tulley at the London Welbeck Hospital, one of just a handful of UK specialists in the procedure.

I knew he was the one for me because he really listened and was the only one to say he’d rather do the mini arm lift on me. In fact, he flat out refused to do a full brachioplasty.

Admittedly, not everyone can have a mini arm lift — the key factors are the elasticity of your skin, which decreases with age, and the amount the arms need to be reduced.

Now, three months on, you can’t see the scars at all with my arms down. Even if you were to look directly at my armpit, you’d just see a flat, red line through the crease, which will fade to white and become almost invisible.

My arms are so much smaller, and will keep shrinking until they’re fully healed in another three months.

Now, I finally have arms that fit my figure. In the summer, I’ll jet off on holiday to hot countries without packing voluminous cover-ups. I can go on nights out and dance with my hands in the air wearing strappy dresses, and I’ll never stoop to delete unflattering photos or crop parts of myself out of the frame ever again.

Myths About Facelifts

Myths About Facelifts

Facelifts are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the UK. Helping to reverse the signs of ageing, they can help boost confidence and give patients a better quality of life. Unfortunately, there are many myths about facelifts in circulation, making it crucial for patients to do their research.

If you are considering having a facelift, here’s the truth behind some of the most common myths…

Myth #1: Facial ageing is caused by excess skin

For years, it has been widely believed that facial ageing is caused solely by excess skin. For this reason, many people have focused on skin-tightening procedures to help them banish the signs of ageing. However, there is more to facial ageing than sagging skin, and they too need to be addressed if you want to fix the problem.

Over time, the tissues within the face loosen and sag, while the volume of the skin also decreases. Newer facelift techniques address these issues, resulting in a natural appearance.

Myth #2: You will get the same results from anti-wrinkle injections and fillers

Anti-wrinkle injections and fillers can be used as an alternative to a facelift. When done correctly, they can produce impressive results. However, what you need to remember about these treatments is they are temporary. The results will only last six to twelve months, then you will need to have them done again to maintain results.

With a facelift, the surgeon resuspends and reshapes the deeper tissues of the face, then removing any excess skin without tension in a natural manner. Anti-wrinkle injections and fillers don’t remove any skin, they simply focus on smoothing and volumising the area temporarily. They are unable to provide a full correction after the early 40s and over-treatment may produced an unnatural result.

So, if you want long-lasting results, undergoing a facelift is the best option.

Myth #3: Facelifts are only carried out on women

At one time, women were the only ones undergoing a facelift. However, times have changed and today both men and women can equally benefit from the procedure. Men experience facial ageing the same as women do, and since 2000, the demand for male face lifts has increased by 20%.

Myth #4: Facelifts are just for older people

Many people believe that face lifts are purely carried out on older people. However, the truth is facelifts are performed over a wide age range – usually mid 30s to late 70s. The signs of ageing develop at different times in different people. So, there is no age limit on a facelift procedure. You can undergo the surgery in your 20’s if you experience lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin.

These are just some of the most common myths about facelifts. The techniques used to carry out facelifts have improved drastically over time. To find out what you can expect if you undergo this popular procedure, book a consultation with Mr Paul Tulley.

A Tummy Tuck Will Improve Your Confidence Study Shows

A Tummy Tuck Will Improve

Tummy tucks are a popular cosmetic treatment, helping patients to achieve a flatter, more toned abdomen. While there is no medical reason to undergo the procedure, research has shown that a tummy tuck will improve your confidence and self-esteem.

Here, we look at what the latest study found, and some of the other benefits of undergoing a tummy tuck.

What did the study show?

In 2019, a German study showed that a tummy tuck improves confidence and quality of life. It was also revealed to improve emotional stability, and significantly reduce symptoms for depressed patients.

The study included the analysis of 582 female patients from 2008 to 2020. After undergoing a tummy tuck, female patients claimed they felt significantly more confident. The main reasons cited for wanting to undergo the procedure included wanting to look in a swimsuit and feel more confident sexually.

Other health benefits of a tummy tuck

As well as boosting a patient’s confidence, a tummy tuck can provide other health benefits too. These include:

A tummy tuck will improve your posture

When the abdominal muscles are tight, they help to stabilise your core, giving you better posture. Good posture is crucial in the prevention of back and neck problems. In one study tightening up the muscles helped to reposition the pelvis to keep the back straighter.

As the main goal of a tummy tuck is to tighten up the muscles, it’s unsurprising many patients experience better posture following the procedure.

It can reduce back pain

A reduction in back pain is one of the best benefits of a tummy tuck. After weight loss or pregnancy, the abdominal muscles may weaken or get pulled apart. This in turn can lead to back pain that may have a negative impact on quality of life.

Patients who undergo a tummy tuck could see significant improvements in back pain after six weeks to six months.

It can correct ventral hernias

If a patient has a ventral hernia, a tummy tuck could help to correct the problem. Helping to strengthen the weakened muscles and reduce pressure on the abdominal wall, a tummy tuck is even sometimes added to a hernia repair surgery to prevent the hernia from recurring.

These are just some of the benefits of a tummy tuck. Keep in mind that although it can help you to look leaner, a tummy tuck isn’t a weight loss surgery. It primarily removes excess skin and tightens up the muscles, although it could be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn pockets of fat.

Book a consultation with Mr Tulley today to see if you could be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck procedure.

Different Types of Rhinoplasty

Types of Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic procedures, helping to alter the size and shape of the nose. While most patients are familiar with the standard, open procedure, did you know there are different types of rhinoplasty available?

Here, we’ll look at the different types of rhinoplasty you can undergo to help you achieve the best results. In your consultation, Mr Tulley will discuss the procedures with you and answer any questions that you have.

Nasal tip rhinoplasty

If you want to change the tip of the nose, nasal tip rhinoplasty is the procedure for you. It could be that the tip is bulbous, or large, or it may have an excessive length. This type of rhinoplasty aims to solely change the tip, rather than the bridge.

Ethnic rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty is typically carried out on Afro-Caribbean or Asian patients. These patient groups can have a much flatter appearance, and it can be wider in appearance. Several techniques can be used in ethnic rhinoplasty, such as bridge augmentation.

Cartilage grafts from the ear or rib will be taken and used to add volume in the case of augmentation. To address a wider nose, the bridge and/or nostrils can be narrowed.

Deviated Septum rhinoplasty

A deviated septum can make it difficult to breathe normally. If it is causing the patient problems, a septoplasty may be performed. This involves trimming, replacing, and repositioning the bone or cartilage to straighten the nasal septum.

Revision rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is carried out to try and fix issues caused after an initial rhinoplasty procedure. It could be that complications arose, or you may not be happy with the results from the first procedure.

This type of rhinoplasty tends to be much more complex than the first procedure. The surgeon therefore needs to be highly skilled to perform it correctly.

Which type of rhinoplasty should I choose?

With so many options available, it can be difficult knowing which rhinoplasty procedure is right for you. Discover more about each of the options above, and determine which one to choose by booking a consultation with Mr Paul Tulley today.

After an initial assessment, Mr Tulley will advise you on which procedure will help you achieve your desired results.
