Plastic Surgery Options for Men

Jefferson Plastic Surgery is proud to help people throughout the greater Philadelphia, PA area look great and feel great about the way they look. That’s why we offer comprehensive advanced plastic surgery and cosmetic skin care treatments for men as well a women.

While the majority of plastic surgery patients are women, statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) found that around 13 percent of all cosmetic surgery procedures in 2018 were performed on men. We want to focus on a few of the most common male cosmetic surgery procedures currently available.

Liposuction

Even if you exercise regularly and eat right, that last stubborn bit of body fat can be a real chore to lose. When crunches, cardio, and calorie counting proves futile, that’s when men can turn to liposuction. This targeted fat removal extracts unwanted body fat. The following problem areas on men’s bodies can be targeted/treated:

• Lower abdomen
• Love handles
• Upper torso
• Shoulders
• Triceps
• Neckline and chin

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Losing a great deal of weight is bound to cause loose skin, especially around the belly. This loose skin may sag low and be covered in stretch marks. While the skin will shrink back a little bit, you’re going to need surgery to get rid of this hanging tissue. That’s when a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a great idea. The surgery can remove all of the loose skin of the lower abdomen associated with major weight loss, helping you achieve a more ideal body contour.

Male Breast Reduction/Gynecomastia Surgery

Some men have chests that appear effeminate rather than masculine. This condition is known as gynecomastia. Its exact causes are unknown, though it’s often linked to hormone changes, obesity, and various medical conditions.

For serious cases of gynecomastia, male breast reduction surgery may be a good option to consider. During male breast reduction, excess fat and glandular tissue can be removed, giving men a much more masculine chest in the process.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Excess fat and flab around the upper arms can adversely affect muscle tone and definition. Matters are made worse when major weight loss leads to loose skin around the upper arm area.

Liposuction of the upper arms is not enough, which is why an arm lift for the shoulders and triceps may be recommended. This body sculpting surgery helps remove the loose skin and flab, creating better defined and more muscular arms in the process.

Facial Plastic Surgery for Men

Facial surgery on men can help give guys better defined and stronger facial features. Some of the most common and popular facial enhancement surgeries include:

• Facelift - A traditional facelift can smooth away lines and wrinkles from the middle portion of the face, leaving a patient looking years younger.
• Browlift - A browlift can get rid of unwanted forehead lines that can make you look tired and worried rather than experienced and wise.
• Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) - Whether you’re getting a broken nose straightened or getting rid of a nasal bump, a rhinoplasty may be just what you need to enhance your face.
• Chin Augmentation and Reshaping - A well-defined chin can make you look stronger and more confident. Using facial implants, plastic surgeons can help reshape your chin and revitalize your facial shape in the process.
