Plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine for men

Liposuction - body contouring

Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures chosen by men. Contrary to stereotypes, men also want to get rid of excess fat and achieve a sculpted silhouette. The procedure removes unwanted fat from the abdomen, waist, hips, chin or chest area, among others.

Liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia. After the operation, the patient is given a special compression suit, which aids the healing process and reduces the risk of bumps. Wearing the suit is necessary for a period of 3-4 weeks. The first results are visible after just a few weeks, while the full effect can be assessed after about 3 months. The liposuction procedure allows not only to reduce fat, but also to transplant the removed fat to other areas of the body, such as the buttocks, which allows additional body shaping.

Modeling of facial features - strongly defined jawline

The modern canon of male beauty promotes clear, strongly defined facial features. However, as we age, tissue structure changes, so the skin in the lower parts of the face loses both volume and elasticity, which can contribute to a less attractive appearance. Fillers used in aesthetic medicine allow for a defined contour.

The modeling of the jawline and chin can be carried out with hyaluronic acid-based preparations. The preparation is resistant to decomposition and provides results that last up to 18 months. At the same time, it is a quick and painless procedure that does not require a long convalescence.

Cosmetic treatments - not just for women

Until a few years ago, a visit to a beautician was considered unmanly. Today, attitudes have changed considerably and more and more men are getting regular beauty treatments, opting for, among other things:

• kobido massage - a Japanese facial massage that has a relaxing effect, removes muscle tension and stimulates collagen production;
• peels and skin-nourishing treatments - an intensely nourishing and regenerating treatment using, for example, AHA acids, vitamin C and plant enzymes is especially recommended for men with gray, dehydrated skin and skin problems, including those struggling with acne.

Regular care and use of professional treatments not only improves the condition of the skin, but reduces signs of aging and provides a healthier and fresher appearance. For men who are new to cosmetology, scrub treatments are a great start, as they give an immediate nourishing effect on the skin.

Correction of gynecomastia - getting rid of the problem of breast hypertrophy

Gynecomastia, or overgrowth of the mammary gland in men, is a problem that in many cases causes great physical and psychological discomfort. The causes of gynecomastia can range from hormonal disorders to side effects of certain medications. In rare cases, gynecomastia is a symptom of more serious health problems like liver disease or testicular cancer, so it's worth consulting a doctor first to determine the cause.

Enlarged breast glands cause soreness, tenderness and, in some cases, swelling, especially during intense physical activity. Enlarged tissue can restrict freedom of movement, which is especially annoying when running, swimming or lifting weights. The pressure and chafing caused by wearing tight clothing can be a source of additional discomfort.

Gynecomastia correction involves surgical removal of excess glandular and fatty tissue from the chest area. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and recovery time is about 4-6 weeks. Patients gain a flat, masculine chest, which significantly improves their self-esteem and comfort, such as during physical activity. 

As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications, the most common being infection, hematoma and scarring. Choosing an experienced specialist and following post-operative instructions significantly reduces these risks. In some cases, gynecomastia can be treated non-surgically, such as with hormone therapy or lifestyle changes. Surgery, however, is the most effective way to get rid of the problem permanently.

FAQ

Is plastic surgery for men different from plastic surgery for women?

Although many procedures are similar, their goals and the techniques used may differ. Plastic surgery for men focuses on achieving more masculine body and facial contours, for example, which is why men like to choose jawline modeling.

Does liposuction help with weight loss?

Liposuction is not a method of weight loss, but body contouring. The procedure allows the removal of fatty tissue from specific areas of the body, which is difficult to get rid of with diet and exercise alone.

How long do the results of facial contouring with fillers last?

The effects of facial contouring with fillers last from 12 to 18 months. This time may vary depending on the individual characteristics of the body and the patient's lifestyle.

Are cosmetic treatments as effective for men as they are for women?

Yes. Men's skin is different from women's (it's thicker and more prone to oiliness), so professional treatments help take better care of it and delay the aging process.

What are the contraindications to plastic surgery?

The most common contraindications include severe chronic diseases (e.g., uncompensated diabetes, hypertension), blood clotting disorders, skin infections in the area of the planned procedure, autoimmune diseases, which is why each patient undergoes a detailed consultation and examination before the procedure.

Does correction of gynecomastia produce permanent results?

Yes, correction of gynecomastia gives permanent results, provided the problem is not caused by hormonal disorders or medication that can cause recurrence. It is also worth maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the procedure.

How long does it take to recover from liposuction?

Recovery from liposuction usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. During this time, the patient should wear compression garments, avoid strenuous physical activity and follow the doctor's care instructions.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to liposuction?

Non-surgical methods of fat reduction are mainly cryolipolysis (fat freezing) and ultrasound. However, their effectiveness is less than liposuction, and the results require several series of treatments.

Do men benefit from Botox treatments?

Botox is increasingly popular among men. This treatment helps smooth out facial wrinkles, especially around the forehead and eyes.
