After the world witnessed a demand for mommy makeovers, allowing women to reconstruct certain parts of their body after childbirth, we are now noticing a boom in interest for daddy makeovers. A common question surrounding this topic is, what is daddy makeover?

A daddy makeover is the make equivalent of a mommy makeover, and the set of treatments is becoming more popular among men today. Daddy makeover consists of surgical and non-surgical procedures, such as liposuction, gynecomastia, and mail hair restoration (PRP).

An American Society of Plastic Surgeons report reveals that more than 1.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men in 2018, representing a 29 percent increase since 2000. Although Canadian statistics for male plastic surgery do not exist yet, according to Global News, Canadian physicians say that the US experience is comparable to what Canada is seeing.

The greater acceptance of male surgery contributes to its rising demand in Canada, as men feel more comfortable in their bodies after treatment. Social media posts may have also contributed to the acceptance and increased interest in daddy makeover surgery. If you’re interested in transforming your body but aren’t sure what treatments to seek, GraceMed plastic surgeons can help you make an informed decision based on your aesthetic goals and overall health.

Purpose of Daddy Makeover

The primary purpose of daddy makeover surgery is to look younger and achieve a muscular appearance. Typically, the goal is to help a man recover from a “dad body,” which could refer to ageing signs and pockets of fat in certain areas.

A 2009 Canadian Journal of Sociology study about how cosmetic surgery affects a man’s self-esteem found that Canadian men who were less comfortable with their bodies and lower in confidence put more pressure on themselves to lose weight. Lower confidence indicated their willingness to undergo cosmetic surgery.

As more information is available today, men are likely to be more drawn to plastic surgery as they can make educated decisions about their health and bodies. GraceMed can also help you say informed and determine if plastic surgery is the right option for you. When you’re seeking plastic surgery in Toronto, consult one of our specialists and share your goals with them. When the specialist understands what you’re looking for and examines your overall health, they can help you choose suitable treatments for the daddy makeover package.

Types of Daddy Makeover Procedures

Daddy makeover surgery consists of a list of treatments that focus on various aspects of the face and body. Each daddy makeover plastic surgery serves a different purpose, and the combination of a few treatments can help you enhance your looks and target your problem areas.

Gynecomastia Reduction

Gynecomastia is a common condition that leads to an increase in breast gland tissue in boys or men. It is usually due to an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Certain medications or health issues may also lead to enlarged breasts. Some people don’t prefer to seek treatment for gynecomastia

if it’s not causing physical discomfort. However, many men opt for the treatment as enlarged breasts may hinder their confidence or reduce their abilities to participate in certain activities.

Breast reduction to reduce gynecomastia is a common component of daddy makeover plastic surgery that many men embrace. During this procedure, the surgeon removes breast tissue to reduce the breast size. It’s important to determine the reason behind your breast enlargement before you seek treatment. If your gynecomastia is triggered by specific medication, it might be best to stop or switch the medication before surgery. However, if you have developed gynecomastia due to genetics or obesity, it might be best to opt for breast reduction as a part of your daddy makeover surgery.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat that you may find difficulty eliminating with diet and exercise. The procedure uses a suction technique through a stainless-steel tube called a cannula to break up and remove fatty tissue on target areas, such as the hips, tummy, or arms. If you’re looking for a clinic offering male liposuction in Toronto, visit one of GraceMed’s clinics in the GTA. We offer liposuction in Burlington, Mississauga & North York.

Men commonly request liposuction of the chest and abdomen to reduce fat and achieve a more toned physique. Reducing fat in these areas may highlight muscle definition, depending on the level of fat reduced and your body type. The goal of increasing muscle definition could contribute to the popularity of liposuction among men.

Speak to one of our specialists to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for liposuction. To qualify for this surgery and achieve the best outcome, you typically need to be within a stable weight range before surgery. It’s also important that you’re in good health, as certain conditions, such as restricted blood flow, coronary artery disease, diabetes or a weak immune system could complicate the surgery.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure that alters and reconstructs the nose to change its shape or improve its function. Some men add rhinoplasty to their daddy makeover surgery package as it can restore nasal-facial proportion and improve overall aesthetic appearance.

Your nose contributes significantly to your facial appearance, which is why many men opt for this treatment to improve their overall appearance. If you’re thinking about getting rhinoplasty in Toronto or nearby cities, visit our Briarwood Oakville location and speak to one of our specialized surgeons. The nose reshaping process is complex and delicate, so our surgeons will discuss the procedure with you and determine your cosmetic goals before recommending a surgical technique.

We can help you create a daddy makeover package that helps you achieve your goals. Rhinoplasty is often combined with liposuction for double chin removal and non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers and laser skin treatments to enhance your facial appearance.

Facial Rejuvenation

Whether you want a subtle change in your facial appearance or a dramatic one, GraceMed experts can help you choose appropriate treatments as a part of your daddy makeover package. Facial rejuvenation can help you achieve a youthful look through surgical and non-surgical treatments.

One of the most common facial rejuvenation procedures is a facelift, also known as rhytidectomy. Facelift surgery is a customizable procedure that can produce natural yet dramatic results. This treatment aims to trim and tighten skin and facial tissue. GraceMed offers a few different types of facelifts, such as the standard facelift, three-day facelift and mini/micro lifts. If you want to add a facelift to your daddy makeover plastic surgery list, you can visit our Briarwood Oakville, Mississauga, or North York location for a consultation before you proceed.

Some other facial rejuvenation procedures include chemical peels, Botulinum Toxin, dermal fillers, skin tightening, or laser skin treatments. Each procedure can help you target a different facial concern to help you maximize your daddy makeover treatment benefits. The type of treatment you select for your daddy makeover surgery cost, so it can be helpful to determine which treatments you want to add to the package to create a financial plan accordingly.

Anti-Ageing Eye Treatments

The eyes are one of the first facial areas where ageing signs start to appear. When you start to age, you may notice fine lines appearing around your eyes, known as crow’s feet. Some other ageing signs include wrinkles. These lines and wrinkles appear for various reasons, such as age, genetics, frequent use of eye muscles, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits.

Anti-ageing eye treatments are often a component of daddy makeover packages as the treatments can help you target ageing signs around the eyes and reduce them accordingly. A few common anti-ageing eye treatments offered in some of our GraceMed locations include blepharoplasty, skin tightening, Botulinum Toxin, and dermal fillers. Since each treatment is different, your daddy makeover surgery cost will depend on the type of treatment and your desired results. You can visit one of our locations to discuss the costs of treatment.

Non-Surgical Facial Treatments

Many non-surgical facial treatments can bring you closer to your goals when seeking daddy makeover surgery. Some of the common non-surgical facial treatments GraceMed offers are Botulinum Toxin, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and skin tightening.

To choose the best treatments for your daddy makeover package, you must determine which areas you want to treat and what you want to focus on the most. For example, if acne scars or ageing spots are your biggest concern, you should try a chemical peel or laser skin treatments. If your primary concern is wrinkles, you can try Botulinum Toxin or dermal fillers. Your final choice depends on your cosmetic goals, budget, and a specialist’s recommendation.

Benefits of Daddy Makeover

A daddy makeover allows you to enjoy a transformed face and body, which can boost your confidence and help you feel better about your appearance. There are a few benefits of a daddy makeover that you can enjoy if you opt for treatment.

Combination of Treatments

A daddy makeover package allows you to choose a range of treatments to bring you closer to your aesthetic goals. When you visit a GraceMed clinic, we can help you determine which treatments will suit you, depending on your goals and overall health.

Combining treatments and targeting different problem areas allows you to achieve dramatic results, making you feel happier about your physical appearance. Some of the most popular plastic surgeries for men that are often used in a daddy makeover are liposuction, gynecomastia reduction, blepharoplasty, and brow lift.

Achieve Masculine Physique

Many men today focus on the ideal body type, which has changed male body practices over the years. A 2016 study on male body practices mentions that the dominant body ideal for men has shifted toward muscularity, emphasizing lean and well-defined muscle mass. This affects how men envision their bodies as they feel the urge to look for muscular.

One of the most incredible benefits of a daddy makeover is that patients can choose from a range of treatments that can help them achieve a more masculine physique. Some of the most common options include liposuction, tummy tuck, gynecomastia reduction, and non-surgical body contouring.

Improved Confidence

Improved confidence can reduce any stress or anxiety you may face related to your physical appearance. When you treat problem areas on your body or face, you’re likely to feel happier about your appearance. Daddy makeover treatments can help you target areas you’re conscious about, allowing you to boost your confidence.

You can determine how you feel about the treatment by looking at other patients’ daddy makeover before and after photos. If the changes you observe increase your curiosity about the treatment, you can consult one of our specialists to proceed.

Better Physical & Mental Health

Some male plastic surgery treatments can help patients improve their physical health, as specific treatments can motivate them to become more active. For example, some men may feel uncomfortable participating in physical activities due to enlarged breasts caused by gynecomastia. Reducing gynecomastia through surgery can help them achieve a more toned chest, motivating them to exercise and engage in physical activity.

In some cases, plastic surgery may also improve mental health among patients. A Clinical Psychological Science report that investigated the psychological effects of plastic surgery on patients found that plastic surgery makes people happy. The study compared the patients with people who want plastic surgery but haven’t gone through with the procedure and those who have never been interested in cosmetic surgery. The study suggested that patients who chose plastic surgery demonstrated more enjoyment of life, satisfaction and self-esteem.

Recovery Can Be Speedy

Men and women recover from surgery differently, and in some cases, the recovery process for men can be smoother. According to a study, surgery might be more unpleasant for women than men. The report found that women wake up faster from anesthesia and are less sensitive to anesthetic drugs. Women also recover slower than men and suffer from side effects such as nausea and vomiting. However, our specialists do their best to make both men and women feel comfortable before and after surgery. If you’re thinking about getting a mommy makeover in Toronto, you can visit our Burlington, Mississauga, and North York locations.

Since recovery can be quicker for men, it can be simpler to opt for surgery and resume their normal activities sooner. However, the exact recovery timeline can vary from person to person, depending on each individual’s overall health and the type of daddy makeover procedure used.

How to Proceed with Daddy Makeover

If you’re ready to make some changes and alter your appearance with a daddy makeover, consult one of GraceMed’s clinics to get connected to a specialist. We can create a custom package for you that targets your problem areas and brings you closer to your dream body!
