Plastic Surgery Procedures for Men

We understand that men, just like women, seek to enhance their appearance and feel confident in their bodies. Our range of cosmetic surgery options for men address the unique aesthetic needs and goals of our male clients. Here’s a closer look at the procedures we offer:

Eyelid surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is an effective way for men to address sagging eyelids and under-eye bags that contribute to a tired or aged look. The procedure involves removing excess skin, fat and sometimes muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. An eyelid lift not only restores a more youthful and alert appearance but also can improve vision obstructed by drooping eyelids. The surgery is typically done under local or general anesthesia and involves only a few days of recovery time.

Facelift

A facelift for men is designed to combat the visible signs of aging by tightening sagging skin and redefining the jawline. Facial plastic surgery can address issues like deep wrinkles, creases, loose skin and loss of facial volume. By repositioning the underlying tissues and removing excess skin, a facelift can result in a more youthful and refreshed facial contour. 

Neck lift

A neck lift is a surgical procedure that addresses signs of aging in the neck and jawline area. This procedure is particularly effective for men who want to tackle issues like sagging skin, excess fat under the chin or the appearance of a “turkey neck.” By removing excess skin and fat, and in some cases repositioning or tightening the underlying muscles, neck surgery can create a more defined and youthful jawline and profile. 

Liposuction

Liposuction for men is a popular procedure to remove unwanted stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. This procedure can be particularly effective in sculpting areas like the abdomen, chest and flanks, enhancing muscle definition and achieving a leaner physique. 

Liposuction involves making small incisions to insert a cannula, which breaks up and suctions out fat. The procedure requires a brief recovery period and can provide long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and proportion in relation to other facial features. For men, it can address issues like a bulbous tip, a hump on the nasal bridge or asymmetry. 

In addition to cosmetic improvements, rhinoplasty can correct functional problems, such as breathing difficulties. The surgery involves reshaping the bone and cartilage of the nose and requires a recovery period, after which patients can enjoy both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is ideal for men who have experienced significant weight loss or have excess skin and fat around the abdomen. This procedure involves removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles to create a firmer, flatter stomach area. Dr. Vitiolo’s Scar Less technique ensures far less downtime than traditional methods, with most patients returning to work after only a few days.

Gynecomastia surgery

Gynecomastia surgery is a transformative procedure for men dealing with the discomfort and self-consciousness caused by enlarged breast tissue A male breast reduction involves removing excess fat, glandular tissue and sometimes skin to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the procedure might include liposuction, excision or a combination of both, depending on the individual case. Recovery varies but generally includes rest and limited physical activity for a period. 

Ideal Candidates for Male Plastic Surgery

Candidates for male plastic surgery include men who:

• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about outcomes
• Want to improve physical appearance and confidence
• Seek rejuvenation from aging-related changes
• Desire body contouring after weight loss

Contraindications vary depending on the procedure, but generally include health conditions that may impair healing.

FAQs

Is plastic surgery for men as common as it is for women?

In recent years, plastic surgery for men has significantly increased in popularity. While it’s still more common among women, the gap is narrowing as more men seek cosmetic procedures for aesthetic improvements and confidence boosts. Men are becoming more open to exploring surgical options to enhance their appearance.

How long do results last?

The longevity of results from male plastic surgery depends on the type of procedure and individual factors like skin quality, age and lifestyle. Non-surgical treatments typically last a few months, while surgical procedures like facelifts or liposuction can have long-lasting results, often several years, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Are there age restrictions for male plastic surgery?

There are no strict age restrictions for most forms of male plastic surgery; however, patients must be in good overall health. For gynecomastia procedures, we prefer patients to be at least 18 years old to ensure the best possible outcomes. Each case is evaluated individually to ensure suitability and safety.

Can multiple procedures be combined?

Yes, combining procedures is common in male plastic surgery for more comprehensive results. For example, a facelift might be combined with eyelid surgery, or liposuction with a tummy tuck, to enhance overall appearance and reduce total recovery time compared to having multiple separate surgeries. Your surgeon can advise on the best combination based on your goals and health status.
