Today cosmetic surgery isn't just for actors and models. Men of all ages and from all walks of life want a more balanced appearance, including a rejuvenated face, a more defined nasal profile, and less fat around the neck. Fortunately, there is no longer a stigma attached to surgically improving one's appearance.

The techniques in performing cosmetic procedures such as eyelid surgery, nasal surgery, facelift, facial implants, liposuction, and body sculpting surgery are performed essentially the same way for both men and women. However, there are subtly different approaches required to maintain or achieve a natural masculine appearance.

BOTOX® Cosmetic for Men

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the best way to diminish wrinkles and unwanted expression lines on your face. Common treatment areas for men include the forehead, between the eyebrows, and the lines on the sides of the eyes. There is no recovery time. Dr. Singer performs all injections personally, so you can rest assured that you are in the most professional hands.

Soft Tissue Fillers for Men

Restylane® is an excellent alternative to enhance your facial features and help fill in any creases or lines on your face. The most common area for men is the nasal-labial folds (lines running down the cheek). Restylane® is a safe and temporary procedure, made of a naturally occurring substance that binds water to cells. Other options include: Radiesse®, Sculptra®, and Micro-fat Grafts

Eyelid Surgery for Men

Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) enhances the appearance of your eyes by eliminating excess skin and/or fat to smooth the eyelids. Eyelid lift can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both lids, depending on your specific needs.

Facelift Surgery for Men

The facelift (rhytidectomy) surgically lifts and tightens facial and/or neck skin and underlying muscle. This cosmetic procedure is one of the most popular and satisfying. If you are ready to "turn back the clock,” you can appear more rested, healthier, and vigorous through facelift surgery.

Brow Lift Surgery for Men

Laughing, smiling, crying, and squinting are all everyday facial movements that gradually cause your forehead to develop unwanted furrows, wrinkles, and lines. This, coupled with the inevitable effects of aging, can create forehead lines that lead to a tired, worn look that robs you of your confidence in social and business situations. A Brow lift can remove unwanted wrinkles and lift the brow to rejuvenate your face.

Nose Surgery for Men

Nose surgery is one of the most popular procedures for men. Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) alters the external appearance and sometimes the internal function of your nose.

Liposuction

Liposuction is very popular among men who wish to remove excess fat around the waist or flanks, under the chin, or to remove male breast tissue that results from a condition known as gynecomastia. Many of these areas are resistant or impervious to diet and exercise. Men’s skin tends to retain elasticity longer than a woman’s does, increasing the chances that liposuction alone will be able to treat these specific areas without the need for further procedures.

Male Breast Reduction

Men who feel self-conscious about their abnormally large breasts (gynecomastia) often are reluctant to appear in bathing suits or participate in sporting activities without wearing loose fitting shirts to hide their chests.

Gynecomastia is derived from the Greek words to describe a condition that makes men's breasts appear enlarged or "woman-like." It may affect both breasts, or occasionally, just one. There are a variety of reasons for male breast overdevelopment, but in the vast majority of cases, there is no known cause.

This abnormal appearing chest contour can be improved with breast reduction surgery. The corrective procedures, however, are not a replacement for diet and exercise for the patient who is significantly overweight.

Removal of the fatty and glandular tissue of the breast which creates the abnormally full appearance can usually be achieved through liposuction alone, leaving only small inconspicuous scars. Rarely, in extreme cases, with poor elasticity of the skin, larger incisions to redrape the skin may be necessary. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis.

The benefits of male breast reduction are not only physical — producing firmer, flatter, more masculine chest contours — but emotional as well as self-esteem is many times improved. The results of the procedure are significant and permanent.

The surgery can be performed in the hospital or at our Centre, depending on your general medical condition. If the surgery is performed at our Centre, Dr. Singer may wish to have you transferred to the hospital after surgery for a planned overnight stay. Frequently, other breast sculpting procedures are performed in conjunction with a breast reduction. These procedures include the reduction of large areolae (colored areas around the nipples), the correction of inverted nipples, and the reduction of overly prominent nipples. Breasts that are unequal in size can be made more symmetrical. Please contact us today to learn more about how we can help you.

Facial Cosmetic Surgery for Men

Special considerations must be taken for men who are undergoing facial surgery. Men's facial features and characteristics are quite different from those of women and require specialized techniques to maintain the masculine appearance of certain features, such as the eyes, nose, chin and forehead.

More and more men are benefiting from cosmetic procedures. Please contact us today if you would like to learn more about cosmetic surgery for men.
