Today, more than ever before, men are turning to plastic surgery to improve the way they look. Men who desire a more youthful facial appearance or to tone and sculpt their masculine physiques may benefit from plastic surgery. In Tampa, our male plastic surgery patients are made up of men of all ages. Some of the popular plastic surgery procedures performed on males today are facial surgery, male breast reduction, and liposuction. If you want to enhance your contours or correct aesthetic flaws, you may be an ideal candidate for plastic surgery.
Facial Surgery
While in the past, the majority of facial surgery patients have been female, today’s male population also wants to appear refreshed and youthful. It is common to look out in the lobby of our Tampa plastic surgery center and see men who are waiting for their own consultations or treatments. Men who are bothered by the appearance of sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles, among other signs of facial aging, may benefit from facial surgery. Facelift surgery, brow lift, eyelid surgery, dermal fillers, and facial implants are just some of the many treatment options we offer our male patients who desire a natural-looking, yet well-rested and youthful appearance.
Male Breast Reduction
Enlarged breasts in men, also referred to as gynecomastia, is a condition that will affect almost every man at some point in his lifetime. Indeed, many men experience the over-development of breast tissue. For those affected by gynecomastia, it can be incredibly embarrassing. For many of our Tampa plastic surgery patients with gynecomastia, the cause of the condition is unknown. Known causes of gynecomastia include genetics, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, certain diseases, and certain medications.
Sadly, many men avoid intimate relationships because of insecurities directly resulting from gynecomastia. Being afraid to remove your shirt can be terribly frustrating and difficult for a man to cope with. Not being able to go swimming without removing your shirt, not being able to engage in physical sports without removing your shirt, as well as not being able to remove your shirt in front of a loved one out of fear of being made fun of or being laughed at can significantly affect the self-esteem and life of a patient with gynecomastia.
Fortunately, there is an effective treatment for gynecomastia. For our patients in Tampa, male breast reduction may be performed using liposuction or through other surgical techniques. Through the long-lasting results achieved through male breast reduction surgery, patients no longer have to be afraid of taking off their shirts.
Liposuction
One of the most popular male plastic surgery procedures performed today is liposuction. Weight gain and aging can cause fat to accumulate in certain areas of the male body. To achieve the ideal male form, we can perform liposuction. Liposuction may be used to remove isolated pockets of fat from areas of the body such as the pectoral region, the back, the flanks, and the abdomen. It may also be used to contour the masculine physique to create a more muscular appearance in the calves, abdomen, and other areas of the body.
