Male Plastic Surgery

While plastic surgery is often associated with women, more men are undergoing plastic surgery today in order to enhance their overall appearance. There are plenty of surgical, non-surgical and skin care treatments that can be used in order to tighten skin, reduce excess fat and remove noticeable wrinkles. When you meet with a Chelmsford plastic surgeon for a consultation, you will be able to hear about all of these procedures in greater detail. Right now we'd like to look at the basics of male plastic surgery and the procedures so you understand what they can accomplish.
Male Plastic Surgery and the Abdominal Area
One of the most common male plastic surgery procedures is liposuction. This body contouring option can remove pockets of fat from various parts of the body, including the abdomen, the chest, and the upper arms. This is a great way for people to look trim and fit.
Another common plastic surgery performed on the abdominal area is the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). This surgery is performed in order to remove any loose or sagging skin in the stomach area following major weight loss.
Male Plastic Surgery and the Torso and Extremities
The chest area can be problematic for men, especially due to advanced age or gynecomastia, the latter being a condition that gives men an effeminate-looking chest. In order to address the various needs of the upper torso, there is male breast reduction surgery.
In addition to addressing the chest and sides, men can also undergo body lift surgery to improve the tightness and tautness of the upper arms. An arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) will remove excess skin from the tricep area and the upper arm area to create shoulders and upper arms that look trim and fit.
Male Plastic Surgery and the Face
Men are also looking at various surgeries for the face in order to look younger and more refreshed. This means treatments such as Chelmsford facelift, rhinoplasty, brow lift, lower facelift, and neck lift. All of these procedures can help reduce the appearance of sagging skin and deep lines. Years can literally be shed from a person's face.
Non-Surgical Options to Consider
In addition to surgical treatments that we've listed above, there are also cosmetic skin care treatments to consider for effective care. This means the use of skin resurfacing treatments, chemical peels, facials, and cosmetic injections. All of these can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and leave men looking many years younger in the process.
Crafting an Aesthetic Solution for You
Plastic surgery and aesthetic enhancement is not a one-size-fits-all option. Each surgery or set of surgeries that patients undergo will be tailored to the unique needs of the patient. Your individual treatment plan can be discussed when you meet with a cosmetic plastic surgeon in Chelmsford.
