PLASTIC SURGERY FOR MEN

Men are turning to plastic surgery to feel better, look younger, and even help with their careers. However, men's bodies, goals, and temperaments are different then women's. Men need unique procedures, done the right way. Men want a better defined, more angular shape on both their bodies and faces. They want to look youthful and vibrant, rather than "beautiful."

Plastic surgery for men is one of our specialties at The Refine Institute. We understand men's distinctive needs before, during and after surgery. We provide men with excellent experiences as we enhance their appearance and lifestyle. You can even request a male patient coordinator to handle your case and assist you during your consultation with Dr. Pratt.

Top Ten Things Men Should Know About Plastic Surgery

  1. Smartlipo does not replace working out, but it definitely can remove fat from areas that diet & exercise have not impacted (like the chest and love handles).
  2. In many cases, Smartlipo is great for men with gynecomastia. Your results from Smartlipo will be best if you continue regular work at the gym after the procedure.
  3. Calf implants and pec implants tend to migrate with time and have a high incidence of post operative complications. It is better to use Smartlipo to sculpt the surrounding areas, and make the pecs and calves appear more distinct.
  4. Smartlipo will not make your abs look like Schwarzenegger's, but it can bring you close to where you were in college.
  5. You will probably have better results from reshaping rather than lifting. This will give you a more chiseled and angular masculine look.
  6. Even if you have wrinkles and sagging on your face, you may not need a facelift. In some cases, facelifts can make men look feminized. It is often better to have a blended cheek & neck lift, blepharoplasty, or Botox. In many cases, a combination of these may be the best approach.
  7. A chemical peel, which can be done without general anesthetic, is not a "facial" and can get rid of fine lines, uneven tone, and blotchiness. Laser treatment like the DOT resurfacing laser can achieve this as well.
  8. Botox is not just for women. It can impact wrinkles around the eyes and forehead that can significantly reduce the appearance of age on your face.
  9. You will probably be happiest with subtle changes, that make you look more refreshed and youthful, rather than dramatically altering your appearance.
  10. You will have to set aside some time to recover from your procedure. Impatience leads to complications.
