With advances in cosmetic procedures, increased acceptance of cosmetic procedures, and more competitive work environments, more and more men are opting to improve their appearance through plastic surgery than ever. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew H Steele offers various cosmetic procedures for men looking to change their appearance, enhance certain features, or turn back the clock. Although men’s cosmetic goals may differ from women’s, plastic surgery can offer solutions to provide a younger and more masculine look to the face, chest, and body.
With aging, many men find they are heavier with excess fat along their chest, abdomen, and waist. Others may notice excess, loose skin due to massive weight loss, genetics, or the natural aging process. Men often turn to plastic surgery to improve the contour of their chest, abdomen, and waist. With male body contouring, men can achieve a firmer, younger look utilizing techniques such as BodyTite, liposuction, and body contouring.
Dr. Steele may recommend liposuction to sculpt the waist and abdomen while removing unwanted fat. This is often combined with BodyTite and can be performed under local anesthesia in the office. Popular treatment areas for liposuction and BodyTite include the abdomen, chest, arms, back, and waist. Other procedures such as a tummy tuck or body lift are useful for removing excess loose skin along the abdomen, waist, and back.
Many men are frustrated by not having a defined six-pack, no matter how hard they try with their diet and exercise regimen. Excess fat can accumulate on your abdomen due to factors entirely outside your control, including genetics, age, and health conditions. Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a popular surgical procedure among men who desire a flatter, tighter, and more defined abdomen.
Genetics, weight changes, and aging can lead to sagging tissue and loose skin on your arms, leading you to feel uncomfortable and insecure about the way they look. An arm lift can help sculpt the contours of your arms so you feel confident and comfortable in short sleeves or with no shirt at all. Alternatively, a thigh lift can help you achieve smooth, lean thighs that fit well in all your clothes and give you confidence in warmer months when you might wear shorts.
For men who have enlarged or excess breast tissue caused by hormonal changes or obesity, and those who would like to be rid of excess skin and fat around the breasts, male breast reduction surgery at our clinic can restore a more masculine appearance to the chest. For men with good skin quality, liposuction with direct gland excision can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. Men whose breasts have significant drooping or sagging due to excess skin typically require skin excision with or without a free nipple graft performed under general anesthesia in the operating room.
Loose skin, heavy brows, wrinkles, and bulging fat around the eyes may convey a sad, tired, or angry appearance despite feeling otherwise. Blepharoplasty surgery can restore a more vibrant look to the upper and lower eyelids as well as resolve the puffy appearance below the eyes. This surgical procedure removes unwanted fat and skin from the eyelid and, in some cases, may reshape the lower eyelid, while a male direct brow lift repositions the eyebrows by removing excess skin in the forehead with a carefully concealed scar hidden in the forehead lines.
Male direct brow lifts and upper blepharoplasty procedures can be performed in our office under local anesthesia. Lower eyelid procedures require general anesthesia and will be performed at the surgery center. Recovery time is quick – about one week – however, the patient should avoid vigorous cardio activity for two to three weeks.
Most men prefer a strong-looking jawline and a contoured neck, and a male neck lift or FaceTite procedure can provide a more masculine appearance by sharpening the jaw and neckline. For men with early jowling and mild neck laxity, FaceTite can be a very effective, minimally invasive technique to reduce neck fat and tighten facial and neck skin.
For men with significant, hanging neck skin (turkey neck), a male direct neck lift is a better option. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia in the operating room and takes about two to three hours. It is a powerful technique that eliminates excess neck skin while leaving fine, well concealed scars within the neck.
Plastic surgery is suitable for men who have treatable anatomic issues with realistic expectations. The best candidates are in good health and are non smokers. Many patients seek to combat signs of aging or improve areas that have proven resistant to diet and exercise, such as the neck, chin, or abdomen. Certain procedures are ideal for men who want to address loose skin and sagging in the face and neck, creating a firmer jawline and a return to an overall youthful contour.
During your consultation, Dr. Steele will discuss your specific goals and recommend the most appropriate procedures to address them. From subtle facial enhancements to strategic body contouring, our team tailors each treatment to your body and your wishes.
Many of our patients are new to plastic surgery and want to know what to expect. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at our office, where we will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and outline a plan based on the areas of your body you want to address. Many men choose a combination of procedures in order to minimize downtime and maximize results.
Surgical procedures are performed with precision and care, focusing on subtle, natural results. Dr. Steele does his best to minimize scars, and uses advanced techniques designed to provide a masculine outcome. After surgery, patients can expect a gradual recovery, with the most visible improvements appearing over 2-3 months as your swelling subsides. Our team provides complete aftercare instructions and ongoing support to ensure a smooth, successful healing process.
If you are a man looking for options to achieve a younger or more toned appearance in your chest, neck, body, or eyes, consider contacting our clinic. Our friendly staff will help you schedule a consultation with Dr. Steele and provide you with an individualized treatment plan to meet your specific expectations and goals.
