From liposuction to body lifts, our Oregon plastic surgeons can help you achieve the look you desire. Read on to learn more about our four most popular plastic surgery operations for men.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure involving the removal of excess fat from the body. It’s often used to target specific areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Liposuction can be an effective way to contour the body and improve one’s appearance.
For some men, liposuction can help to achieve a more athletic appearance. For others, it can be used to correct a genetic deformity or to improve the look of a specific body part. Liposuction can also be used as a way to address excess fat that has not responded to diet and exercise.
Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, small incisions are made in the skin. A thin tube, called a cannula, is then inserted through the incisions. The cannula is used to break up the fat cells and suction them out of the body.
Body Lift
A body lift for men is a plastic surgery procedure that involves lifting and tightening the skin on the body. This can be done to improve the appearance of the body and to correct any sagging or drooping skin.
Body lifts for men can be done for a number of reasons. Some men may get a body lift to improve their appearance after a significant weight loss. Others may get a body lift to correct any sagging or drooping skin that has occurred due to aging.
Body lifts for men are typically done as an outpatient procedure. This means that you will be able to go home on the same day as your surgery. During the procedure, your surgeon will make incisions in strategic places on your body. They will then lift and tighten the skin. Once the skin is in place, your surgeon will close the incisions with stitches or staples.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia cosmetic surgery is a procedure that removes extra breast tissue in men to help achieve a more masculine chest appearance. It is also known as male breast reduction and can be done by liposuction or with an incision. The surgeon will make the decision depending on the amount of tissue to be removed and the makeup of the chest. In some cases, both procedures are used.
The reasons for this surgery are usually purely aesthetic. Gynecomastia usually occurs during puberty but can occur during adult life. Sometimes it can be a side effect of certain medications. In any case, many men feel uncomfortable with their breasts and choose to have surgery as a way to improve their figure.
During Gynecomastia surgery, the surgeon starts with a small incision made in each armpit. They then remove the excess tissue through the incision. The surgeon may remove some skin if there is a lot of excess skin or if the skin is saggy.
Abdominoplasty
An abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck,” is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can create a flatter, more toned stomach. It’s a popular procedure among men who wish to tighten and tone the abdominal area. During the surgery, excess skin and tissue are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. This can help to create a slimmer, more youthful appearance.
There are several reasons why men might choose to have a tummy tuck. For some, it may be a way to address excess skin and tissue that has been stretched out due to weight loss. Others may have always been unhappy with the appearance of their stomach and want to improve their shape and tone.
An abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make an incision in the lower abdomen, generally just above the pubic area. Through this incision, the surgeon will be able to access the underlying abdominal muscles and remove any excess skin and tissue. The incision will then be closed with sutures or staples.
