Men in search of a La Jolla plastic surgeon don’t just want to look younger anymore. In fact, there are several procedures for men to help them look more handsome and masculine.
RHINOPLASTY
One of the most popular procedures our practice performs for men is a rhinoplasty, often called nose surgery or a ‘nose job.’ While a change in the shape of your nose can drastically impact your looks, it’s important to choose an experienced surgeon for this delicate procedure. Often, just a millimeter or two can make a big difference between an OK result and a truly satisfying outcome. The nose and chin should stay in proportion with each other to give an attractive look of symmetry, both in frontal and side views of the face.
CHIN IMPLANT
In men, the preferred facial contour and shape is quite different from what women want. For example, men usually prefer a sharper jaw line for masculine definition, and a more prominent chin. A chin implant can bring new definition to the facial features, creating a pleasing result that is still completely masculine. Like rhinoplasty, however, it’s still important to retain balanced proportions.
MALE vs. FEMALE
When performing plastic surgery for men, there are unique challenges compared to women. For example, male facial hair requires extra attention to incision placement so as not to visibly affect hair growth. Skin also ages with more elasticity on men than it does on women, allowing for faster recovery in the event of a facelift or neck lift. The goal for men is to achieve an angular, muscular appearance. An experienced plastic surgeon will understand these differences, and be able to give you chiseled, handsome results.
