The modern history of plastic surgery began with men, as surgeons performed reconstructive surgery to repair combat injuries in soldiers. In more recent times, men have realized that plastic surgery isn’t just for women, and they’re increasingly taking advantage of surgical and minimally invasive procedures to improve their appearance.
The team at Plastic Surgery Specialists of Boca Raton specializes in male plastic surgery. The expertise of Rafael C. Cabrera, MD, FACS includes a wide range of procedures, always with the goal of creating results that honor and achieve each man’s personal goals and maintain their natural, masculine appearance.
While men can have the same procedures as women, their plastic surgery demands a different level of expertise. It must be performed by a plastic surgeon with the artistic sensibility to maintain strong, male features and skilled in using the surgical techniques required by the differences in men’s skin and body structure.
Men have thicker skin and store fat differently than women, variables that must be considered when performing plastic surgery.
Incision location is always important for hiding tiny scars. But where your plastic surgeon places the incision also ensures you maintain a natural beard line and normal beard growth.
These are only a few examples, but they give you insight into the importance of choosing a plastic surgeon with extensive experience working with men.
Though you can have every type of plastic surgery and minimally invasive procedure offered for women, men often seek:
Blepharoplasty eliminates sagging upper eyelids, under eye bags, loose skin, and pockets of unattractive fat.
A neck lift improves your jawline and neck by eliminating excess skin, fat, and unappealing bands of muscle.
Facelifts target the lower two-thirds of your face, and like a neck lift, they’re designed to remove excess skin and fat, restore the underlying muscles, eliminate wrinkles, and generally lift the problems created by gravity, sun damage, and aging.
We developed The Smarter Lift, a facelift that targets your problem areas. Instead of a more extensive facelift, you can erase signs of aging and improve your appearance while cutting the procedure and recovery time in half.
No matter how many hours you spend at the gym or the number of calories you cut, you may be stuck with fat that refuses to disappear. Liposuction permanently removes stubborn fat from any body area.
Gaining weight may contribute to embarrassingly large breasts. However, some men have a hormone imbalance that triggers the growth of breast tissue, a condition called gynecomastia.
Excess fat is treated with liposuction. Gynecomastia requires customized surgery to reduce your breasts and restore the appearance of your chest.
Fat grafting improves the contour of your body and restores a more youthful appearance by removing unwanted fat from one area and implanting it into another area (usually the face).
If you want to eliminate signs of aging but don’t need — or want — surgery, we offer noninvasive treatments that produce exceptional results.
The only difference is that surgery produces long-lasting results while noninvasive treatments like injectables and skin rejuvenation are temporary. However, you can get a repeat procedure to maintain your appearance. Men often choose to receive:
Botox® and dermal fillers are injectable products that safely and effectively smooth away fine lines and deep wrinkles.
A radiofrequency treatment, eMax® rejuvenates your skin, improving its strength and eliminating common problems like:
Most men need several eMax treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Each session takes 10-20 minutes, and you may want to take the rest of the day off to give mild redness time to subside.
Are you tired of constantly shaving or waxing to remove body hair? We offer laser hair removal that can target any body area and — with a series of treatments — eliminate hair growth there.
