Male Plastic Surgery Michigan

The top surgical procedures for men include rhinoplasty (nose job), eyelid surgery, facelift, neck lift, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast reduction, and hair transplants. Non-surgical treatments like injectable neurotoxin, fillers, and laser skin resurfacing are also very popular.

Good candidates for cosmetic surgery are men who are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and want to improve specific areas that make them self-conscious. It’s also important to be a non-smoker and avoid certain medications that can interfere with surgery. Discuss your goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Recovery times vary depending on the type of procedure. Minimally invasive options like laser treatments require little to no downtime. Major surgeries involve 1-2 weeks of rest followed by restricted activity for up to 6 weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed recovery instructions.

Male plastic surgery is very safe when performed by an expert surgeon, but any procedure comes with risks like bleeding, infection, scarring, or anesthesia complications. Specific risks are discussed during your consultation.

Costs vary dramatically based on the scope of treatment. Minor procedures may range from $2,000-$5,000, while multiple surgical enhancements can cost $15,000-$30,000. Health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgery.

Look for board-certified surgeons with proven expertise in male procedures. Ask to see before/after photos of male patients and read reviews. Meet with 2-3 surgeons before deciding.

There are many non-surgical treatments available to enhance the face and body, such as injectable wrinkle reducers, dermal fillers for volume, body contouring devices, and laser skin tightening. These provide subtle improvements with no downtime.

Many plastic surgeons offer financing plans to make procedures more affordable, including medical credit cards and personal loans. Just be sure to understand all terms and interest rates before moving forward.

Cosmetic surgery provides several solutions to those suffering from gynecomastia. The treatment of gynecomastia has changed a good deal in the past several years. Before surgical removal of the extra tissue was the standard, now, many guys are treated with outstanding results and have virtually no scarring because of the advanced liposuction techniques used, which reflect better on the contours of the skin as well as the contours of the chest wall. Gynecomastia is a very serious issue that impacts both the young and old, therefore it is amazing that there’s a cosmetic surgical procedure available that will drastically change these people’s lives.

• Men whose condition cannot be corrected through alternative medical treatments
• Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions can impair healing
• Non-smokers and no drug users
• Men with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improving the physical symptoms of gynecomastia

If you are a healthy male who is close to their ideal weight, then this is a good option for you. Any male who is taking illegal drugs, as well as steroids, is not a good candidate for this type of surgery.

• You are physically healthy and of relatively normal weight
• You have realistic expectations
• Your breast development has stabilized
• You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too large

Adolescents may benefit from surgery, although secondary procedures may be needed

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, meaning the patient will be able to go home after surgery. The patient is under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with IV sedation (twilight anesthesia) for the procedure. Small incisions are made near the areas of treatment and a very thin tube called a cannula is inserted under the skin to reach fat deposits. The cannula is attached to a vacuum, and the doctor will move the tube under the skin, to suction out fatty deposits. Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, so hospitalization is not required. Patients should plan on having someone to drive them home from the procedure.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with liposuction. The most common risks include bruising and swelling after the procedure. As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection if not taken care of properly. Blood clots and nerve damage are other risks from the procedure, but are uncommon. Strictly following the doctor’s instructions for aftercare can help decrease the chance of these risks.

Results from male liposuction lasts for many years, as the fat is removed from the body. However, natural processes such as weight gain, aging, and other lifestyle factors, including genetics, can cause variations. It is important to maintain a stable weight and to exercise after surgery to ensure the longevity of the results. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen will help the results last longer. If you are in the process of losing weight, it is best to be near or at your weight loss goal before having the procedure done. Following the doctor’s specific instructions after surgery will help the results from your procedure last as long as possible. This will ensure the best and longest lasting results from the procedure.

Someone is an ideal candidate for male liposuction if:

• They are looking for a procedure that will remove excess fat, as well help shape the contours of the body.
• They are generally in good health.
• They do not smoke or drink excessively.
• They do not have any medical conditions that can impair or slow the healing process.
• They have realistic goals for the outcome of the surgery. Dr. Hardaway will work with patients to determine which path will be best to meet their needs.
