Cosmetic Procedures for Men | Brzowski Plastic Surgery

Men, Plastic Surgery, and Masculinity

Dr. Brzowski offers a range of aesthetic treatments just for men. His male patients trust him to take a conservative approach to injectables or surgery when treating his male patients as he understands the importance of achieving a look that appears entirely natural, no “worked on.”

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia refers to the enlargement of the male breast. Hormonal imbalances can be the cause, but it is usually not related to any measurable change in these chemicals. If there are detectable changes, then treatment may be directed to treating these with medications. In the more common situation, overgrowth of the male breast simply occurs around puberty, and the only reliable treatment is surgical.

Gynecomastia Overview

Depending upon the extent of the breast enlargement and the proportion of fat and breast gland present, the recommended surgical treatment may vary. In cases where there is little loose skin, removal of the excess breast tissue and fat is all that is needed. These approaches may involve liposuction alone, or a combination of excision through a nipple incision with liposuction. If the breast enlargement is much more substantial and associated with notable skin excess, then skin removal might be necessary. These incisions might be in the pattern of a female breast reduction – upside down T or anchor styles – or others.

Gynecomastia Recovery

Most patients recover quite quickly from surgical treatment of gynecomastia. If liposuction alone is performed, many will return to activities in a few days. Activities may be performed to comfort, meaning that any activity that does not result in pronounced pain or discomfort may be performed right away. Patients should be cautious to avoid activities that are associated with more significant pain.

Should skin removal or an incision be needed to directly remove the excess tissue, then recover might be prolonged up to 2 weeks. These patients will generally be able to resume more vigorous activities at that time.

Occasionally a drain may be inserted into the surgical area. This device will be removed in the office once the volume of liquid that drains out is low enough.

Lastly, expect to be placed in a compression garment to minimize swelling and bruising. You will want to wear this religiously night and day for two weeks. For the following two weeks, you will be asked to wear the garment as much as you are willing. From that point forward, the garment may be worn as desired.

Risks of Gynecomastia Surgery

As with any operation, there are risks of bleeding, poor healing, infection, dissatisfaction with the results, and complications from the anesthetic such as blood clots and etc. Certain behaviors around the time of your surgery can influence your risks of problems such as smoking and failing to follow instructions regarding wound care and activities. Specifically, smokers are required to discontinue smoking a minimum of 3 weeks prior to surgery and not resume smoking until proper healing as been verified.

Because the breast tissue is densely adherent to the undersurface of the nipple and areola, removal of this tissue must be accomplished very carefully. If this requires an incision at the lower edge of the areola, then there exists a risk of excess removal of tissue and subsequent death of the areola secondary to loss of blood flow. Loss of sensation to the nipple and a deep indentation (called saucer defect) is also possible. Certainly there is a risk that too much or too little breast tissue and fat can be removed, and differences in size and shape of the chest comparing sides could occur. Although infrequent, breast tissue can enlarge again at some point after surgery, possibly requiring further treatment.

Facelift for Men

As we age, a distinctly masculine facial structure will begin to droop, develop excess fat, widen, and look older and less vital. Fat develops under our jaws and in our necks, and jowls begin to form. For many of us, this change is unacceptable – you may look in the mirror and see a stranger. Even if you feel young and vigorous, you could look older, weary, and worn. Enter the male facelift – the solution to facial aging on men.

While facelifts are often performed on women, they are also very effective for men – if your surgeon understands the male facial structure. With a series of conservative and minor procedures, a male facelift can take years off your look make you look more masculine, attractive, and vibrant –the way you feel inside.

Candidates for male facelifts are men who are dissatisfied with the effects of aging on their face, are in good health, and desire to rejuvenate and revitalize their appearance. Dr. Brzowski has years of experience performing male cosmetic surgery, and he knows how to take the years off and achieve a look that appears entirely natural. A successful facelift gives you all the benefits without any indication of cosmetic surgery, which is Dr. Brzowski’s specialty.

BROTOX

As the nickname suggests, BROTOX refers to BOTOX® for men – an increasingly popular and acceptable procedure. While most BOTOX® treatments are marketed towards women, the fact is that men aren’t immune to aging, and men also like to maintain a youthful, vigorous appearance.

BOTOX® (purified botulinum toxin) is an injectable muscle-relaxant that smooths out wrinkles and creases in your skin, giving you back your face’s natural expressions and getting rid of the constantly angry-looking or aging appearance, with lines and creases on the forehead, between the eyebrows.

Any man who is experiencing (or even just starting to experience) wrinkles in their face is a likely candidate for BROTOX. By smoothing those creases and relaxing the muscles, our BROTOX treatment not only smooths etched-in lines and creases but prevents them from deepening with time.

Let’s face it – these days people are judged based on their appearance. With the rise of social media, your image is being shared. There is no harm in looking younger! If you want to improve your self-confidence with a more youthful, happy, and vigorous look – BROTOX might your answer.

Liposuction

Men today are idealized to be trim and athletic, with broad shoulders and chest, flat abs and narrow hips. Unfortunately, this look is tough to achieve for many men. As we age, pockets of fat develop over the belly, love handles form, and the chest can develop fatty tissue – all of which may not respond to diet and exercise.

Liposuction is an effective way to get rid of those pockets of fat and contour your body, creating a more masculine and fit look that makes you feel confident revealing your torso. Liposuction is very effective for men, as male skin tends to remain more elastic, and with modern liposuction procedures, the excess skin tends to shrink back naturally.

Liposuction for men can:

Remove love handles and create a trimmer waist
Resculpt a fatty abdomen and create more definition
Remove excess fat on the chest or back

Anyone who has significant excess fat but wants a fit, contoured, masculine body is a likely candidate for male liposuction.

Blepharoplasty

One of the most common and visible signs of aging for men is drooping and sagging eyelids or sunken or baggy under-eyes. While the rest of your face and body may look, feel, and be youthful – drooping eyes alone can make you look tired, angry, and old. Excess and droopy skin around your eyes can also limit your peripheral vision.

Blepharoplasty is a popular surgery for men that removes the excess skin under and around your eyes. This meticulously performed surgery can take years off your face and restore your youthful and active appearance, restoring a far more refreshed, vital appearance.

Candidates for blepharoplasty are men in good general health and who want to look and feel younger and happier. Dr. Brzowski has years of experience in male cosmetic surgery and knows exactly how to perform the surgery to maintain a distinctly masculine look.

Blepharoplasty has a rapid recovery time (about a week) with minimal pain and discomfort after the procedure. Most patients can return to low-impact activities just one or two days after the procedure, letting you resume your life with very little interruption.
