Cosmetic Surgery For Men

Many people tend to place a high value on looking trim and fit. Today, men of all ages and all walks of life are undergoing cosmetic procedures, including plastic surgery.  Men want to feel confident in their appearance for social reasons and to help them compete in the job market. They simply want their appearance to complement their vitality, energy, lifestyle, and state of well-being. With the growing emphasis on health and wellness, exercise, nutrition, longevity, and anti-aging, men feel better longer and want their appearance to reflect this.

As a result, many have started to consider plastic surgery as a means to improve both their appearance and their self-confidence in personal and business matters. Enhanced technology and surgical techniques mean that healing times are much shorter than in the past; men can change they way they look with a minimum of downtime and inconvenience.

Men have different areas of concern than women when contemplating plastic surgery and it’s good to be able to work with a surgeon and team that understands and appreciates this.

Common Procedures for Men

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia)

A large amount of men complain of excess fat or sagging of the chest area giving a feminine appearance. Gynecomastia, or enlarged breasts in males, is quite common. Although it doesn't pose any known health risks, the emotional toll it can take can be devestating. If you find yourself avoiding social situations like pool parties or trips to the beach because you are self-conscious about the appearance of your chest, you may be a good candidate for gynecomastia correction.

Male Body Contouring

The ideal male body shape is considered to be trim and athletic-looking, with broad shoulders and chest, a flat abdomen, and a narrow waist. However, few are gifted naturally with this body. As men age and develop fat tends to accumulate around the abdominals and flanks ("love handles"). Which, unfortunately tends to be immune to diet and exercise. If this describes you then you may be an excellent candidate for abdominal etching via liposuction. If you have access sagging skin around the mid region (often caused from massive weight loss), a male tummy tuck might benifit you.

Facial Surgery and Rejuvenation

Every facial procedure that we offer to women is available to men to help build confidence and regain their youthful appearance. However we realize that a man's and a woman's goals are very different when it comes to outward appearances and the goals they have for themselves.

Facelifts are now very common among men, and can be used to make a man look much more rested, healthy, and energetic. It is very important when approaching men not to “feminize” their face. A fatty or "jowly" area beneath the chin is a concern for many men. In younger patients, liposuction alone may be sufficient to correct the problem. Older patients may require a full facelift and/or neck lift. Chin implants can be used to correct a weak jawline/chin giving a stronger profile. Botox and other skin rejuvenation techniuqes are also becoming quite popular among men to reduce the signs of aging. Rhinoplasty can be used to correct noses believed to wide, bulbous, down-pointing, have a bump – or a variety of other configurations that can take away from a man’s appearance in a way so that the results appear natural. Otoplasty, or ear-pinning, is also a commonly requested procedure by men.
