PLASTIC SURGERY FOR MEN
Over the years I have noticed a definite trend in my practice of more men having Plastic Surgery. There is also a pattern of which operations men are seeking and why. The most common procedure I perform on men is the eyelift. Next in popularity is the neck and chin area. Many men want that “double chin” gone and we have effective treatment options for that. Finally, I do a lot of liposuction on the abdomen and flanks (love handles) in men. All of these operations are done as an outpatient and with minimal recovery time. below I have outlined some specifics on each of these popular procedures.
Many men are coming to me with the complaint that they look older than they feel and their eyes make them look sleepy. These men are vibrant, still working and perhaps looking to advance in their careers. The eyelift is a great operation to alleviate the tired look that comes with aging eyelids. Both the upper eyelids and the lowers can be corrected. The upper eyelids usually accumulate excess skin that make them look droopy. The lower lids can develop “bags” which really make one look tired or fatigued. Both of these corrections are done under local anesthesia as an outpatient and most people can return to work within a week to 10 days.
Another common problem is fullness of the neck creating that double chin look. fortunately, for most men this can be solved with liposuction of that area. Sometimes a small amount of excess skin also needs to be removed. The nice thing about this operation is that it is not painful, requires one week or less off work, and is very long lasting. This is also done as an outpatient at a local surgery center and with an anesthesiologist giving sedation “twilight” or a light general anesthetic.
The classic problem that occurs as men enter their 30’s and 40’s is that “spare tire” of excess fat accumulating around the middle. This can be in the abdomen, the flanks, or even around to the lower back. Once it is there, this is very resistant to weight loss. For the majority, liposuction alone can correct this problem. That means only a few days off work are necessary and most get back to normal activities quickly. Liposuction results are permanent provided that you maintain a stable weight.
All of these procedures and more are being done for men. Today, there is no need for embarrassment. The best place to start is a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon. There you can discuss your goals and determine which options are best for you.
