Many men have excess breast tissue, a condition known as gynecomastia. This condition can be frustrating and embarrassing. However, this breast tissue can be surgically removed to achieve a more masculine chest.

Male breast surgery often involves liposuction to remove excess fat. Surgeons may make incisions along the areola or in the armpit to remove true excess breast tissue. In severe cases of gynecomastia, surgeons will also remove excess skin and tissue that cannot be removed by liposuction alone.

Details

A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal area to create a flatter stomach and a narrower waist. Tummy tucks are performed by placing an incision low on the bikini line and another around the navel. Surgeons stitch the abdominal muscles closer together to tighten muscles, remove excess fat and skin, the goal being to create a flatter abdomen and a narrower waist.

Details

Liposuction is the surgical technique of removing fat to shape certain areas of the body. Liposuction can be performed on the tummy, arms, legs, buttocks, hips, and neck to contour and remove extra fat. Plastic surgeons make small incisions and insert a small tube (cannula) that helps suction out excess fat.

Details

An eyelid lift can reduce signs of ageing, reducing bags under eyes, and removing excess eyelid skin. During an eyelid lift, plastic surgeons remove excess skin and fat from around the lower and upper eyelid skin to create a more youthful appearance.

Details

A browlift can help reduce furrows on the forehead, frown lines around the eyes, and drooping eyebrows to give you a younger and more refreshed appearance.

There are several ways to perform this procedure, each with a different incision location:

Limited Incision Lateral Browlift:
Two small incisions are strategically placed behind the hairline to arc and elevate the corners of the brows.

Open Browlift:
Incisions made at or above the hairline so that the skin can be lifted and the entire brow shape and position adjusted. This type of incision is typically chosen for individuals with significant brow ptosis

Details

Rhinoplasty, or nose refinement surgery, helps improve the overall balance of the face. It focuses on reshaping any part of the nose, including nostrils, tip, or bridge. There are two types of rhinoplasty, open and closed.

Open rhinoplasty:
During this procedure a surgeon makes internal and external incisions. The external incision is made across the columella (area between nostrils). After the incisions are made, the surgeon can shape bone and cartilage.

Closed rhinoplasty:
A closed rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nose only. Once incisions are made, surgeons sculpt the bone and cartilage to the optimal shape.

Details

TRADITIONAL:
Suspendisse turpis felis, euismod non dolor sed, tristique malesuada risus. Nulla facilisi. Vestibulum vel nisl quis lorem sollicitudin rutrum.

Labiaplasty reduces the length and width of the labia. This procedure helps create a balanced more youthful appearance and reduce feelings of embarrassment or discomfort. During a labiaplasty, the surgeon will make incisions inside the labia and along the edge. Skin will be reshaped to create the desired contour and shape.

Details

To achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance, many patients choose to get a Brazilian Butt Lift. During this procedure, surgeons remove excess fat from the tummy, hips, or thighs and transfer it to portions of the buttock. The fat is filtered before being transferred back into the body.

Details

Over time, many women experience breast sagging. Due to gravity, weight loss, nursing, etc., skin loses its elasticity, and breasts can lose their shape. A breast lift can help raise and reshape the breast to restore a youthful appearance.

See the various methods to perform a breast lift.

Traditional:
This procedure involves making 3 incisions: around the nipple, from the nipple to the crease under the breast, and along the curve of the breast. The traditional technique is used for significantly saggy breasts.

Vertical:
A vertical technique involves two incisions: around the nipple and a vertical incision from the nipple to the crease of the breast. This technique is ideal for women with moderately saggy breasts.

Circumareolar:
This method involves an incision around the areola. It limits the amount of excess skin and tissue that can be removed and can reduce nipple projection.

Details

During breast augmentation, patients undergo cosmetic breast enhancement. Surgeons insert breast implants underneath the breast tissue and often muscle. Patients can choose between several different kinds of implants to achieve a desired look.

Saline Implants:
These implants are filled with salt water. They are inserted into the patient and then filled with saline once they are positioned correctly.

Silicone Implants:
Silicone implants are filled before surgery. Silicone may look and feel more like breast tissue than saline. These implants are a cohesive gel, not a liquid, and tend to maintain a nice shape over time.

Details

Women with large, pendulous breasts may choose to undergo a breast reduction to alleviate back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation. Additionally, breast reduction surgery can help women feel less self-conscious about the size of their breasts.

During this procedure, an incision is made from the nipple to the crease beneath the breast. The surgeon removes fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts, resulting in a more proportional look. The nipple and areola may also be moved and reshaped before the area is closed with stitches.

A browlift can help reduce furrows on the forehead, frown lines around the eyes, and drooping eyebrows to give you a younger and more refreshed appearance.

There are several ways to perform this procedure, each with a different incision location:

Limited Incision Lateral Browlift:
Two small incisions are strategically placed behind the hairline to arc and elevate the corners of the brows.

Open Browlift:
Incisions made at or above the hairline so that the skin can be lifted and the entire brow shape and position adjusted. This type of incision is typically chosen for individuals with significant brow ptosis

Rhinoplasty, or nose refinement surgery, helps improve the overall balance of the face. It focuses on reshaping any part of the nose, including nostrils, tip, or bridge. There are two types of rhinoplasty, open and closed.

Open rhinoplasty:
During this procedure a surgeon makes internal and external incisions. The external incision is made across the columella (area between nostrils). After the incisions are made, the surgeon can shape bone and cartilage.

Closed rhinoplasty:
A closed rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nose only. Once incisions are made, surgeons sculpt the bone and cartilage to the optimal shape.

Over time, many women experience breast sagging. Due to gravity, weight loss, nursing, etc., skin loses its elasticity, and breasts can lose their shape. A breast lift can help raise and reshape the breast to restore a youthful appearance.

See the various methods to perform a breast lift.

Traditional:
This procedure involves making 3 incisions: around the nipple, from the nipple to the crease under the breast, and along the curve of the breast. The traditional technique is used for significantly saggy breasts.

Vertical:
A vertical technique involves two incisions: around the nipple and a vertical incision from the nipple to the crease of the breast. This technique is ideal for women with moderately saggy breasts.

Circumareolar:
This method involves an incision around the areola. It limits the amount of excess skin and tissue that can be removed and can reduce nipple projection.

Details

During breast augmentation, patients undergo cosmetic breast enhancement. Surgeons insert breast implants underneath the breast tissue and often muscle. Patients can choose between several different kinds of implants to achieve a desired look.

Saline Implants:
These implants are filled with salt water. They are inserted into the patient and then filled with saline once they are positioned correctly.

Silicone Implants:
Silicone implants are filled before surgery. Silicone may look and feel more like breast tissue than saline. These implants are a cohesive gel, not a liquid, and tend to maintain a nice shape over time.

Details

Women with large, pendulous breasts may choose to undergo a breast reduction to alleviate back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation. Additionally, breast reduction surgery can help women feel less self-conscious about the size of their breasts.

During this procedure, an incision is made from the nipple to the crease beneath the breast. The surgeon removes fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts, resulting in a more proportional look. The nipple and areola may also be moved and reshaped before the area is closed with stitches.

Details

To achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance, many patients choose to get a Brazilian Butt Lift. During this procedure, surgeons remove excess fat from the tummy, hips, or thighs and transfer it to portions of the buttock. The fat is filtered before being transferred back into the body.
