WHAT IS A NECK LIFT FOR MEN?

A neck lift for men is a surgical procedure to tighten the area around the neck and jaw line, creating a more masculine and defined facial contour. The neck lift for men is a highly individualized procedure that will correct each patient’s specific problem areas, including sagging skin, folds, wrinkles and fatty deposits in the chin, neck and throat area. These problem areas can create unsightly sagging and the appearance of jowls, as well as the dreaded vertical bands in the neck that produce the “turkey neck” effect and sagging skin beneath the chin that makes the neck appear fleshy and weak. A neck lift corrects aesthetic flaws in the chin and neck area, resulting in firmer and tighter skin in the neck area, providing a more youthful-looking appearance overall.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY FOR MEN?

Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that is used to correct any aesthetic problem of the ears, including the size, shape and position of the ears, as well as their proportion to one another and to all your other facial features. Otoplasty also corrects structural defects in the ear that may have been caused by past injuries or by genetic predisposition. In men and boys, otoplasty is an especially important consideration, since men don’t typically wear hairstyles that can hide unsightly ears. Otoplasty surgery is regularly performed on men and boys, leaving no visible scars, even on men who choose to go bald.

WHAT IS RHINOPLASTY FOR MEN?

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reconstruction surgery or a nose job, is a cosmetic surgery that corrects and reshapes the nose to make it more proportional to the face. Rhinoplasty also corrects impaired breathing caused by problems in the nose or nostrils and repairs tissue in the nose that may have been damaged by a birth defect or injury, such as the septum. Rhinoplasty for men is an extremely popular surgery since men often endure sporting injuries in their youth and many want to reshape or correct the size or proportion of their nose to appear more masculine, streamlined, balanced, or straight. To retain a defined, masculine facial appearance, it is important that your nose is in proportion to the rest of your features and the overall structure of your face. Rhinoplasty for men is often performed with the goal of attaining a wider, more rugged, or masculine nose, in contrast to the narrower, more feminine nose typically sought by female plastic surgery patients.

WHAT IS PLASTIC SURGERY AFTER WEIGHT LOSS FOR MEN?

After weight loss, many men find that their bodies don’t look as toned or athletic as they wish, even when they have successfully lost weight and are adhering to a diet and exercise regimen.

For men, it is important to maintain a toned, athletic appearance that commands respect and admiration from others. Plastic surgery after weight loss is an option many men choose to reduce the appearance of loose, sagging skin that has been left over after weight loss and will not adhere to the muscle and bone beneath. Plastic surgery after weight loss can create a streamlined physique that looks younger, leaner, healthier, more muscular, and fitter.
