Male chest surgery interest has almost doubled in the past year

New data suggests that demand for male chest surgery is rising rapidly, with interest overtaking surgeries such as breast reduction and fat removal in some cases.

The leading London cosmetic clinic, Karidis reviewed its surgery enquiries from April 2022-2023 and found that gynecomastia surgery had the highest rate of interest. In fact, enquiries for the surgery were 352% higher than those for liposuction. The data also revealed that the number of those interested in the procedure, in general, has increased by 45.26% since 2019. 

Facelift surgery, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and blepharoplasty followed gynecomastia as the most in-demand procedures at the clinic over the last year, with an increase in enquiries for all offered procedures, except for mastopexy (breast lift surgery). 

This mirrors the trend throughout the aesthetics industry, as practitioners report rising interest in treatments across the board. In fact, Karidis received a 70% increase in leads last year compared to pre-pandemic (January 2019 – January 2020), and successfully doubled its prices for procedures last year.

It’s also apparent that ‘combination surgery’ – where multiple procedures are performed at once – is set to become a massive trend within aesthetics after the marketing of this approach has improved in recent times. It saw the biggest increase in enquiries since 2019 for Karidis, generating a rise in interest of 262%.

The clinic also saw enquiries for liposuction surgery increase by 179.37%, brow lift interest increase by 160%, arm lifts by 135.29%, blepharoplasty by 122.08% and rhinoplasty by 88.18%.

“The uptick in enquiries we’ve seen over the past few years, amid our rising prices at the clinic, shows that people are really willing to invest the money to look and feel good,” comments the leading surgeon at Karidis, Mr Alex Karidis. “People are choosing to put money into well-established, valued, and trusted, surgeons, who are able to offer reliable, natural, long-lasting results that enhance self-esteem and confidence. In this way, cosmetic surgery has become a worthy investment for people.”
