Male Procedures
As time goes on, it becomes clear that men are increasingly enjoying the benefits of plastic and cosmetic surgery. These procedures are usually geared towards enhancing a more masculine appearance, especially if that’s a look diet and exercise cannot achieve on their own. The male-centered procedures at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery are designed to enhance and honor your masculinity in a way that helps you achieve a more youthful, more powerful look
Liposuction for Men
When performing liposuction on men, the plastic surgeons at ECAPS tend to favor the muscle mass already in place, removing just enough fat to highlight the tone and shape of those muscles. Modern liposuction techniques and technology allow plastic surgeons to essentially “sculpt” the unwanted fat in a way that is most flattering and most in line with your desired results.
Rhinoplasty for Men
In cases where the nose is too large, bone and cartilage will be removed from the bridge of the nose. The removal of tissue will be targeted and designed to provide a strong profile to the nose after surgery. In the case of noses that are two small, often an implant that is specially designed to provide the desired final nose profile will be inserted under the tissue. In some cases, as well, the basic shape of the nose can be altered by moving cartilage as necessary—often from the septum to the bridge of the nose.
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) for Men
The eyes are a part of the body that, while small, make a large impact. The same could be said of an eyelid lift, though the procedure is not without its logistic challenges. An eyelid lift is not as simple as excising excess tissue from the end of your eyelid. In order to preserve the natural look of your eyelid (such as your eyelashes) the sites that are excised are carefully chosen. During the procedure, your ECAPS plastic surgeon will remove excess skin from your eyelid.
Injectables for Men
For men, especially, injectables are an easy and quick way to regain a little of the confidence that comes with a youthful experience, and as such, are popular before large meetings, job interviews, or even, simply, on a consistent basis.
Male Breast Surgery (Gynecomastia)
Male breast reduction surgery, also called gynecomastia, is the surgical correction of over-developed or enlarged breasts in men. Gynecomastia is the medical term for the disorder. True gynecomastia is not related to obesity and cannot be corrected by diet or exercise.
Laser Hair Removal for Men
By combining two different wavelengths of amplified light, the laser in this procedure is able to target the melanin in your hair, right down to the follicle. The lasers accomplish this using heat, something hair follicles as known to dislike and be quite susceptible to. After three or four sessions, the bulk of your hair—as much as 80%–should be permanently eliminated.
Chin Implants for Men
A recessive jawline can give the impression of a weak, non-masculine face. To help correct this feature, plastic surgeons developed chin implants to augment the natural chin structures and give the appearance of a more traditionally masculine profile. During the procedure, implants are placed under the chin tissue (usually in conjunction with the chin’s natural structure) to achieve the desired effects. The implants themselves can be made from a variety of materials, and your plastic surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of these options during your consultation.
