Treat the Man in Your Life to Plastic Surgery

They may not talk about it, but an increasing number of males are turning to Dr. Abhay Gupta at Gupta Plastic Surgery in San Diego for plastic surgery procedures intended to meet men’s specific needs. Men may not necessarily share the same aesthetic concerns that women have, but they still want to look great and feel young. Dr. Gupta is happy to help them do just that! The following are the most popular plastic surgery and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures for men.

Liposuction. The aging process, stress and other factors can cause men to put on some extra weight, especially throughout their midsection or chest area. When men gain non-muscle weight in their midsection, they often develop “love handles” or a pooch on their lower abdomen. Gaining weight in the chest area can cause the appearance of “man boobs.” Liposuction surgery is a relatively quick and easy way to get rid of unwanted pockets of fat from these areas and more!

Male Breast Reduction. Sometimes the appearance of gynecomastia (male breasts) is not caused by excess fat in the chest area but rather by hereditary or medicinal factors that cause the actual breast tissue to grow. When this is the case, liposuction on its own may not be a sufficient solution for eliminating male breasts. Clinical gynecomastia may call for male breast reduction surgery. With male breast reduction surgery, Dr. Gupta can eliminate excess breast tissue in men. He can also combine this procedure with liposuction for optimal results.

Eyelid Surgery. Both men and women pursue eyelid surgery to help them look more youthful, rested and refreshed throughout the eyes. However, men may have different aesthetic goals for eyelid surgery than women do. For instance, men typically do not want their eyes to look too big, because big, wide eyes are generally thought of as a feminine trait. That is why it is important for men to undergo eyelid surgery with an experienced plastic surgeon who knows what men want — as Dr. Gupta does.

Facelift. As the natural aging process takes its toll, we can all use a little help looking more youthful throughout the face — men included. That said, no one wants that unnaturally tight, stretched look that comes with a bad facelift procedure. Dr. Gupta can give you natural-looking facelift results that stop people in their tracks. He has extensive experience performing facelift surgery tailored to the aesthetics of the male face.

Nose Surgery. Men who have broken their nose in the past and have a noticeable bump on the bridge of the nose can greatly benefit from nose surgery. Likewise, any man who is frustrated by his nasal profile will wonder why he waited so long to pursue nose surgery. Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is a great way for men (and women) to bring a sense of proportion to facial features.

Injectable Treatments, Including BOTOX Treatment. Men who are not yet ready to pursue plastic surgery may want to consider nonsurgical cosmetic procedures such as injectable treatments. BOTOX injectable treatment is an extremely popular choice for men who want to get rid of facial wrinkles and folds, such as horizontal forehead lines, known as “worry lines,” that can make men look angry or tired. Dr. Gupta also offers many other injectable treatments to fit each man’s unique needs.

Chemical Peels. Men who have spent a lot of time in the sun and now have brown spots, or those with large pores, dull skin, broken capillaries or a host of other signs of facial damage may benefit from medical chemical peels. Dr. Gupta can help men look years younger throughout the face with this quick treatment that requires far less downtime than facelift surgery.

Summer is the perfect time to treat the dad or man in your life to a plastic surgery or nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that will help him look fantastic!

Fun Fact of the Month:

A woman spends an average of two years of her lifetime looking at herself in the mirror; a man spends six months. However, men look at reflections of themselves as frequently as women do. The difference is that women peer at the mirror for longer periods of time because they perform more maintenance in front of a mirror than men do.
