Chin surgery involves reshaping the chin by enhancement by using a silicon implant and reduction surgery on the bone. Sometimes the surgeons recommend chin surgery when the patient undergoes rhinoplasty so that overall facial proportion is maintained as the size of chin impacts the perceived size of the nose.

3) Hair Transplant & Removal
The Hair transplantation procedure requires removal of grafts with small pieces of hair-bearing scalp from the donor site and relocating them to the bald area. The zapping procedure involves laser removal of unwanted hair from the body. Baldness is caused due to 3 main factors:

These two manscaping procedures are beneficial for people who experience premature baldness and have excessive hair on chest, arms, legs or back. The surgery involves local anesthesia in case of transplant and very fast in case of laser hair removal as it is only skin deep.

The facelift is a surgical procedure to improve the visible signs of aging in face and neck. It treats the sagging in the middle of the face, creases below the lower eyelids, deep creases along the nose, excess fatty deposits and loose skin under the chin and jaw. The youthful contours can be lost due to several factors such as heredity, gravity, stress and environmental conditions.
This procedure is conjugated along with the brow lift. The sagging flesh from the cheekbones, jaws and neck are pulled taut at certain positions such as the back of skull or neck and below the hairline. This procedure is complemented by botox injections to maximize the results. The restorative facelift surgery does not change the appearance and also cannot stop the aging process.
6) Brow Lift/ Forehead Lift
The major sign of aging in men is sagging brow along with wrinkled forehead. The reason for this is less skin elasticity due to less collagen. By the brow lift procedure the surgeons can pull the flesh around the area tautly and result in:

- Raised sagging eyebrows.
- Eyebrows are placed in alert and youthful position.
Botox injection augments the brow lift as it freezes the minute portions of the muscles in place and tightens and immobilizes the sagging flesh. The other cosmetic surgeries performed along with brow lift include the upper and lower eyelid tucks, Face lifting and skin resurfacing.
7) Liposuction
This helps in slimming and reshaping a specific area of the body and removes the excess fats and shows off the abs and muscles. Liposuction is a contouring tool and not a technique for weight loss. In men, the target areas of liposuction include the belly and arms. It can be used to shape the body when after taking an exercise and diet the shape of your body is not perfect.
Surgeons make an incision in the target area where they insert a small tube. Then they liquefy the fat cells using a laser or other heat source and remove the liquefied fatty matter via suction using the same tube. The sleeker frame is provided by shaping the abdominal area.

Cosmetic procedures that enhance the features of the face maybe needed by some but those who can get through the day without them should not consider them. They are expensive and a little unpredictable.
I agree with you John. If you are okay with you looks and don’t actually need the surgery, avoid it. But if you really, want it to make yourself feel better, I say go for it!
If you have the money I think you should do it. There’s nothing wrong with improving the way you look and feed.
