Men can be just as concerned about their looks as women and how society views them. It has seemed the norm for a long time for men to accept that they cannot change things. Not anymore, the trend is that more men are coming for a variety of treatments and enjoying the benefits.
Traditionally men are not very keen to visit doctors or consider surgery. We have seen increasing number of men including older men come in for our minimally invasive but very effective surgical options such as a direct brow lift, eyelid surgery or a direct neck lift. The beauty of these procedures is that they are relatively simple, uncomplicated procedures that provide great results with no significant recovery period or discomfort at a relatively modest cost.
Here is an introduction to some simple cosmetic surgical procedures specially suitable for men.
Direct brow lift- Here we remove a small ellipse of skin from above the eyebrows to lift them directly.
Temporal Brow lift- Here the small cuts are made in the hairline to lift outer brows which often sag with ageing.
Blepharoplasty [eyelid surgery] - Removal of excess upper eyelid skin to provide an open eye look.
Direct neck lift-this procedure involves removal of turkey neck sagging skin in the midline of neck to provide a pleasing neck contour and get rid of excess neck skin. The resultant scar is made in a zig zag fashion and hides well.
Face and necklift is also very popular option for men to lift sagging skin along cheeks, jawline and neck. Here scars are hidden in creases along and behind the ears so they are barely noticeable once healing and scar remodelling occurs.
It is routine for us the get rid of moles, cysts, lumps and bumps and skin tags for men which can be symptomatic and irritating!
Some other concerns amenable to laser and surgery are rosacea, acne scarring, facial pigment, blood vessels or rosacea. Laser hair and tattoo removal, varicose veins treatments and laser for excessive underarm sweating. Botox and fillers are a very popular option as are liposuction and body contouring.
