More men are turning to plastic surgery to combat excess body fat, signs of aging, and other physical characteristics they feel adversely impact their appearance. Routine operations included in plastic surgery for men in Nashville are body contouring, facial contouring, and facial rejuvenation procedures.
Men have several anatomic differences from women that influence the optimal approach to plastic surgery for natural-looking, attractive results while maintaining a masculine appearance. Reach out to Plastic Surgery Affiliates today to set up a consultation to discuss these differences, the various procedure options, and your cosmetic goals with a qualified plastic surgeon.
Male plastic surgery procedures in Nashville include several general and male-exclusive procedures for enhancing the face and body, such as:
Gynecomastia is a condition resulting in persistently enlarged breasts for males, who often find the physical trait embarrassing or the cause of self-consciousness. Some men have noticed a “puffy”-appearing nipple since puberty. Male breast reduction surgery removes excess skin, fat, and breast tissue from the chest. Surgical options include direct excision, liposuction, and a combination of excision and liposuction with or without reduction of nipple areola size. The goals of the surgery are to produce a flatter chest that is contoured with a natural appearing nipple and areola.
Many factors, including genetics and aging, contribute to a small, recessed appearing chin and jawline. The appearance of a small chin and soft jawline can disrupt facial harmony and symmetry. Chin augmentation surgery uses a silicone implant placed on the bone, beneath the soft tissues of the chin, to increase size and strengthen the jawline. The corners of the jaw, called the mandibular angle, can be augmented with anatomically shaped implants. Your surgeon will customize a surgical plan specific to your needs and goals.
A considerable number of men turn to liposuction and tummy tuck surgery to contour their bodies, particularly the abdomen. Liposuction can remove stubborn fat in problem areas but does not correct loose or sagging skin. Alternatively, a tummy tuck similarly eliminates excess fat from the stomach and includes loose skin removal and abdominal muscle tightening.
Men can also be concerned about signs of facial and neck aging. Facial and neck rejuvenation options can include facelift and neck lift surgery to restore volume and reduce excess skin and deep folds/wrinkles. Most male patients have thicker facial skin compared to female patients. Due to this significant difference, less excess skin is able to be removed safely. Though skin tightening is lessened, the operation ensures facial contours appear more defined and, thus, more youthful and masculine.
Male rhinoplasty patients often have specific concerns regarding their nose and profile. The male and female facial proportions often differ. Male rhinoplasty can be used in combination with other procedures like chin and jawline augmentation to produce improved facial harmony and balance. Since men often have thicker facial skin and wider, higher nasal bridges, rhinoplasty surgery for men requires unique surgical planning and maneuvers to enhance desired features.
Due to the various anatomic differences between men and women, plastic surgery procedures for men in Nashville require feature-specific planning and techniques. In comparison to a female plastic surgery patient, a male plastic surgery patient is more likely to have thicker facial skin, denser muscle mass and fibrous soft tissues. These differences warrant individualized surgical plans developed with your plastic surgeon.
The popularity of plastic surgery is steadily increasing as more men look for long-term options to correct moderate to severe signs of aging, skin laxity, and stubborn body fat. Plastic surgery can give men more confidence in their appearance and relationships, thus improving their overall quality of life. If you want to make improvements to your facial appearance or body, consider the various benefits of plastic surgery for men in Nashville.
Since the approach for male plastic surgery patients differ to accommodate for anatomical differences and your unique physical characteristics, a consultation is required before any procedure. Call our office to arrange an initial meeting to discuss your cosmetic goals, the procedures, recovery processes, benefits, and more with a knowledgeable and talented surgeon.
