Options for Men

 
 
 
 

Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Patronella performs cosmetic surgery procedures to give men a firmer athletic body and a rejuvenated, younger-appearing face.

Procedures for a Tighter, More Athletic Body

As men get older, the lean physique that characterizes a youthful appearance gradually becomes softer and more rounded as fat accumulates around the waist, abdomen, breast area, neck and chin. Dr. Patronella uses the most advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques to get rid of the flab and return a fit appearance to these areas.  During your consultation, he will work with you to explain your options and develop a plan to help you achieve the look you desire.
 

Liposuction of the Abdomen and Waist

As one of the most popular procedures among men of all ages, liposuction will benefit anyone who can pinch 3/4 inch of fat in the abdomen. This 1-3 hour procedure helps rid the middle of the stubborn fat that results in the appearance of a "spare tire" so that a more V-shaped proportion can be given to the body. Using a small, hollow cannula tube, fat is suctioned out through small, discreet incisions. Most men are able to return to work 3-5 days later and resume exercise in three weeks.

 Ab Sculpting

This procedure will give you the look of having more muscular, sculpted abs. Using a specialized liposuction technique, fat is strategically removed around the abdominal muscles and tissues in order to emphasize muscular contours. Ab sculpting is especially effective for men who are relatively fit, but are unable to achieve their goals for muscular definition despite hours spent at the gym.

Gynecomastia Surgery for Male Breast Reduction

Dr. Patronella offers male breast reduction surgery to correct the appearance of enlarged breasts in men, a condition known as "gynecomastia." Many men have overly developed breasts as a result of genetics, weight gain, or a hormonal imbalance between testosterone and estrogen levels. This unwanted side effect can also occur as a result of steroid use. Fortunately gynecomastia is easily corrected in a one-hour outpatient procedure that will restore a masuline look to the chest through the removal of excess fat and tissue in the breast area.
 

Facial Rejuvenation for Men

Men are increasingly seeking the benefit of facial rejuvenation procedures to help them look as young and fit as they feel, and to help them stay competitive in the workforce.
 
Cosmetic Injectable procedures are simple to perform and can be accomplished in an hour or less. They help to restore a younger appearance to the face by reducing lines around the eyes, along the forehead, and between the brows.
 
For longer lasting results that provide more comprehensive diminishment of the signs of facial aging, a number of surgical options are available. Some of the most popular include:
 
Sagging, droopy lids and undereye bags can cause the eyes to appear tired and aged. Eyelid surgery will restore a more refreshed and youthful look to the eyes through the removal of excess skin and tissue of the upper and lower lid. Incisions are discreetly placed in the lid creases and near the lashline so that scarring is typically well-hidden.
 
Due to aging, gravity, and a loss of skin elasticity, the neck and jowls often take on an fatty, sagging appearance.A necklift will restore a firm look to the neck and jawline through the use of liposuction, the removal of loose skin, and tightening of the neck muscles.
 
A facelift will restore a firmer, youthful appearance to the face by correcting sagging and deep creasing of the midface and jowls. Due to a loss of muscle tone and skin elasticity, these areas begin to hang more loosely, which can lead to the appearance of a double chin. Dr. Patronella uses a dual-plane technique that allows him to tighten the underlying muscles and tissues for more effective, longer-lasting results. Though a facelift cannot completely stop the signs of aging that occur over time, it can effectively diminish the characteristics that contribute to a fatigued, worn facial appearance.
