Plastic surgery and aesthetics aren’t just for women — more and more men are stepping into the treatment room, and it’s time to talk about it.
In this episode of Making the Cut, Dr. Patrick Basile and Hope Gulley, APRN, break down the stigma around male aesthetics, sharing what guys are really asking for (hint: it’s more than “Brotox”).
Together, they cover:
👉 Why men often wait longer to seek treatments — and how that’s changing
👉 The most common male procedures, from gynecomastia surgery to CoolSculpting, CoolTone, and miraDry
👉 Why subtlety and natural results are the name of the game for men
👉 The role spouses and partners often play in giving men the confidence to take the first step
You’ll also hear a relatable patient perspective — a reminder that confidence isn’t gendered, and that small changes can make a big difference.
Whether you’re a man considering your first treatment or just curious about this growing trend, this episode is about breaking stereotypes, normalizing self-care, and reminding everyone: confidence is for everyone.
