Defining and Understanding Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery focuses on altering the human body using reconstructive and cosmetic techniques.
Reconstructive surgery addresses abnormalities that have occurred because of trauma, infections, tumors, or disease. For example, these surgeries could include repairing a cleft lip and pallet, skin grafting for burn victims, or breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. Cosmetic surgery improves appearance and includes elective procedures such as facelift, nose job, and liposuction.
These procedures require care by qualified plastic surgeons who have undergone extensive training in surgical techniques and human anatomy to perform each safely and effectively.
Popular Plastic Surgery Procedures for Men
The field of plastic surgery used to be heavily women-focused. However, with improvements in techniques and a greater understanding of the differences between male and female skin and anatomy, the results of plastic surgery for men have greatly improved.
While patients have the option of choosing a variety of different types of plastic surgery in Stockbridge, some procedures are more commonly picked by men.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, especially in the abdomen, love handles, chest, and back. By removing stubborn areas of fat, liposuction can change your body’s contours and create a more defined physique. However, it is not a weight loss solution, and we recommend that you achieve your desired weight before undergoing the procedure.
Neck Lift
A neck lift addresses signs of aging and sagging skin in the neck and along the jawline, resulting in a more youthful and masculine appearance. This procedure removes excess fat and skin, and tightens the underlying muscles to enhance the neck’s contour.
During your consultation, our talented plastic surgeon will discuss several techniques for a neck lift. The choice depends on your cosmetic needs and the extent of the correction required. Results are typically long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle, lack of smoking, and consistent use of sunscreen.
Brow Lift
Low eyebrows give men an older, more worn-out look. A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is designed to raise the position of the eyebrows and reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles and frown lines. This creates a more refreshed and improved overall appearance of the upper face. Most men can return to their normal activities within one week.
Eyelid Surgery
An eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, improves the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids. Drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags can make men appear older and more tired than they really are. During this procedure, our plastic surgeon can remove excess skin and fat deposits, and tighten the underlying tissue to reveal a more refreshed appearance.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia is a medical condition in which a man experiences enlarged breast tissue, often resulting from hormonal imbalances, genetics, certain medications, and obesity. During surgery to correct gynecomastia, your plastic surgeon may need to remove excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.
Gynecomastia surgery may include liposuction, excision, or a combination of both. Most men can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, and full results are visible within two to three months. However, it is crucial to address the underlying reason for gynecomastia before surgery so that the condition does not recur.
Rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty, or nose job, reshapes and resizes the nose to improve appearance and functionality. Rhinoplasty can correct a crooked nose, prominent hump, or address breathing issues that are caused by a deviated septum.
The surgeon can choose an open rhinoplasty or a closed rhinoplasty, which is defined by where the incisions are made and how much access they have. Recovery is typically shorter after a closed rhinoplasty, but your surgeon has better access to make the appropriate changes for an open rhinoplasty.
Chin Augmentation
A chin augmentation can change its shape and size so that you have a more masculine facial profile using a chin implant or a surgical reshaping of the bone. Both methods improve the overall balance of facial features and may be performed in combination with other male surgical procedures in Stockbridge to create better facial harmony.
