The Most Common Male Plastic Surgery Procedures

Most plastic surgeons will acknowledge that the majority of their patients are women. Yet a growing number of men are inquiring about plastic surgery procedures such as eyelid rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, liposuction and male breast reduction. If you’re a male who is interested in plastic surgery because you want to look as young as you feel, welcome to SPRSI.

Gynecomastia

Excess tissue on the breast gives many men an unwanted feminine appearance, but male breast reduction restores a masculine size and shape to the male breast. Depending on your needs, Dr. Brought may recommend liposuction — a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires little downtime and reduced discomfort — or a reduction technique versus liposuction with a skin-tightening procedure. Whether or not you need only liposuction depends on how much fat and loose skin surrounds your chest. Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, for example, may need skin tightening surgery.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in America, and it’s easy to see why. Lipo, an outpatient procedure, removes stubborn fat through a tube inserted in a small incision. Dr. Brought will loosen the fat and suction it out through the tube. Results are immediate, and scarring is minimal. You may have some swelling and discomfort for the first few days or weeks. You can have liposuction just about anywhere on your body, from your abdomen to your thighs to your chin, arms, buttocks, hips and more. Keep in mind, however, that the more places you need lipo, the more likely it is that you will benefit more from a weight management plan including diet and exercise recommendations. You’ll also need to watch what you eat and how much you exercise after lipo, because fat can come back.

Rhinoplasty

If you’re one of the millions of Americans who hates your nose, rhinoplasty can help. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, changes the size and shape of your nose. Dr. Brought performs rhinoplasty on men and women for cosmetic and reconstructive purposes. He can help you decide the silhouette that’s right for you.

Blepharoplasty

Sagging eyelids can age your appearance and make you look older than you feel. Blepharoplasty tightens the eyelids and removes excess tissue, thus rejuvenating your appearance. In some cases of medical necessity, blepharoplasty may even be covered by insurance.

Augmentation and Implants

Buttocks and chest augmentation with pectoral implants, chin implants, ear shaping and other procedures can give you the physique you’ve always wanted but haven’t been able to achieve in the gym. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Brought so you can discuss your goals. Dr. Brought can tell you what’s achievable and suggest the procedures you’re likely to find valuable.
