What Plastic Surgery procedures are for Men?
There are several plastic surgery procedures that can give a male patient a healthier, more youthful look. Blepharoplasty, for instance, is the removal of excess fat and tissue from around the eyes. This extra tissue can make a face appear tired and worn and can even interfere with vision. Chin augmentation can lend a stronger, more chiseled appearance. Otoplasty (ear surgery), is often performed to shorten lengthening ears, a characteristic that is often associated with aging.

How is the process customized for Men?
While most cosmetic procedures for men and women are performed in nearly identical ways, men and women have differing goals for plastic surgery. Men often want a more subtle effect. While men want to look younger and healthier, they do not want to appear feminine. Men usually want to retain a chiseled, even somewhat rugged look. One significant difference between the sexes is that when men have a cosmetic procedure, the patterns of facial hair growth must be taken into account so that after surgery both the beard and sideburns will be properly aligned. Dr. Schwartz has experience performing all plastic surgery procedures for men and will consult with you on your goals and advise on the best option.

The most common plastic surgery procedures for men include eyelid surgery, face lifts and implants, and nose surgery. Each of these have their own benefits but the general purpose of all of them is to provide a younger, fresher, less tired-looking face. Sometimes liposuction or a neck lift are used to remove unattractive lose skin from under the chin. Whatever procedure – or combination of procedures – is performed, the overall effect is a boost in self-esteem and confidence.
