Our society today places a high value on looking young. The acceptance of plastic surgery by men to improve their appearance has dramatically increased over the past decade. Many procedures, previously reserved for women, are now available to men. Most procedures allow quick recovery periods, allowing one to feel comfortable returning to an active lifestyle within weeks of surgery.

Some men may be displeased with aspects of their appearance that have been present since youth. This might include concern over the size of one's nose, the projection of one's chin, or even puffy lower eyelids. Others may dislike aspects of their appearance that presents with age. Muscle mass decreases as men age, and is generally replaced with fat. While diet and exercise are still the best means to control this process, localized areas of resilient fat can be readily improved with liposuction. The neck, abdomen, flanks (love handles) and chest are just several areas very amenable to correction with liposuction techniques.

Facial aging occurs more slowly in men than women. Although men's facial skin is thicker and better preserved by hair and shaving than women's, it too demonstrates the negative effects of aging. A multitude of procedures can be utilized alone or in combination: browlift, upper and lower eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), chin advancements, face and necklifts. Not all require visible or tell-tale incisions. Midface lifts and liposculpture require no visible scars. Anterior necklifts allow removal of excess fat and redundant skin with limited scars in the bearded skin beneath the chin. Corrective procedures often involve adding volume with injection of one's own fat. A youthful looking face is more full and robust, while age causes one's face to become more gaunt and loose.

Good communication between you and your plastic surgeon is essential in obtaining good results. During your consultation, explain in detail how you hope to look and feel after surgery.
