COSMETIC SURGERY FOR MEN

Cosmetic plastic (aesthetic) surgery is gaining in popularity with men. Men are realizing what women have known for years. Cosmetic surgery can be a rejuvenating process, which makes you look and feel better. Cosmetic surgery can remove years from your face and body. Cosmetic surgery can improve your image, which may be help in your personal life or business. There is no doubt that a younger, more vital appearance will make a better impression.

 In the current competitive business environment, we all need to maintain an appearance of vitality and youth.

The surgery can usually be performed as an outpatient under local anesthesia. The time off from work for recuperation is minimal. The investment of time will be returned in business and personal life productivity.

Heavy, hanging upper eyelids and brows can be lifted and opened. Round, full ‘bags’ on the lower lids can be removed.

We all go to the gym to maintain our physical appearance. However, with age, there are areas of our bodies, which cannot be maintained by diet and exercise alone. Liposuction can reduce the fat on the belly and ‘love handles’, which cannot be reduced by diet and exercise alone. Liposuction does not remove the need for diet and exercise, but rather works in synergy with them to maintain a strong, youthful form.

We are all concerned by the extra fat under our chins or the ‘turkey gobbler’ of skin, which hangs down on the neck. These ‘signs of aging’ can be improved by neck liposuction or lift.

If your nose has always been more prominent than you wished, it is not too late to change it. Rhinoplasty (‘nose job’) is performed under ‘twilight’ anesthesia as an outpatient with one or two weeks out of work for recuperation. Dr. Gallico has developed several computer graphic techniques, which will help you see before surgery what changes are possible for your nose.

Some men, early in life because of developmental changes or with age and weight gain, develop prominent nipples and breasts (male gynecomastia). A ‘female’ contour to the nipples and breasts can be awkward in a T-shirt or on the beach. The breasts can be reshaped surgically to a more masculine contour by liposuction and excision

If despite all your hard work in the gym, your muscular development is not as much as you would like, your chest (pectoral muscles) and your calves (gastroc muscles) can be enlarged to the prominence you desire with pectoral muscle implants or gastroc calf muscle implants..

Cosmetic surgery for men is becoming more common because men are realizing that the changes in appearance can enhance their success in business and improve their image of themselves.
