From Dr. Gross

Most male patients seek facial plastic surgery for dropping upper eyelids or baggy lower eyelids. The most common consultation for men is for procedure called blepharoplasty. Also, hair transplant surgery has evolved to a point where results are outstanding and with a very natural appearance.

Younger men typically seek rhinoplasty surgery with a strong nasal bump seen from generation to generation in their family photos. Other indications for male patients are scar revision surgery, acne surgery and liposuction of the face and neck. Middle age and older men also are interested in neck lift and face lift to gain a more youthful neckline and face. Otoplasty seems to becoming more prevalent as hairstyles are generally shorter now- making it difficult to cover protruding ears.

Although a large proportion of patients undergoing facial plastic surgery are women, the trend continues to show more and more male patients seeking cosmetic facial surgery. It has become more acceptable in our society for both men and women to seek out facial plastic surgery. In an ever-competitive market place, looking and feeling your best is important to both women and men. Call Dr. Gross to learn more about Cosmetic Surgery for Men.

Commonly Asked Questions

Is plastic surgery common with men?
With society's growing emphasis on health and keeping fit, it is only natural for both men and women to want their facial appearance to reflect their physical vitality, energy and well-being.

Lasers, Dermal fillers, BOTOX and Restylane are commonly used to restore skin to a more youthful appearance, smooth out frown lines, eliminate forehead creases and reverse the presence of scars. These nonsurgical treatments can be done during a regular office visit and without interrupting a busy work schedule.

Do men have Facelifts?
Another concern for men is getting rid of 'turkey waddle' or the loose skin that hangs under the chin. This can be achieved with liposuction of the neck or in some cases a neck lift may provide the most dramatic improvement. The most common procedures Dr. Gross performs for men include: liposuction, eyelid surgery, nose surgery, chin implants, brow lifts and necklifts. The male face presents special considerations when one is considering a cosmetic procedure, says Dr. Gross. Several significant factors include the richer blood supply and thicker skin of a man’s face, which can influence both healing and scarring. In addition, the pattern of hair growth for the beard, sideburns and forehead must also be carefully evaluated. As men and women become better educated about cosmetic surgery through the news media and television, they feel more comfortable with seeking medical advice on how to improve their appearance. Although women have led the way in seeking facial enhancements, there is no longer a stigma attached to men who are considering cosmetic treatments and cosmetic surgery.
