Surgery for Men
While some people associate cosmetic treatments with female patients, the number of men delving into plastic surgery continues to rise. Not only can men enjoy the physical benefits of a newly sculpted and refreshed aesthetic, but they can also experience an increase in their self-confidence and an improved overall quality of life. Some of the leading surgical procedures for men are rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, liposuction, and gynecomastia surgery. Dr. Chiu performs these procedures with the necessary skill and understanding of the anatomical differences between the male and female forms, delivering outstanding results.
Benefits Surgery for Men
-
Chiseled Contours
Many men desire a slender figure but have been unable to achieve their objectives with diet and exercise alone. Aging may also compromise their facial contours, producing a displeasing aesthetic. Men who opt for body contouring and facial rejuvenation procedures tailored to their specific needs can enjoy the chiseled contours of their dreams.
-
Masculine Physique
Having excess body fat or sagging skin can compromise a man’s sculpted and rugged features. Dr. Chiu performs surgeries for men that can emphasize their masculine physique by addressing their cosmetic concerns while preserving their attractive male qualities.
-
A Youthful Appearance
Another benefit of surgery for men is that they can pinpoint problem areas and restore them to a more youthful appearance. Facial treatments, such as facelift and eyelid surgery, eliminate signs of aging to rejuvenate the face. Body procedures can revitalize a man’s body contours, producing a slim and fit form.

What type of anesthesia is used during surgery for men?
The type of anesthesia that is used will depend on the procedure or procedures being performed. When using general anesthesia, Dr. Chiu will work with the patient under the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure their safety.

Dr. Chiu can determine whether your insurance will finance your surgery during your consultation.
Will I have scars following my procedure?
The degree of scarring varies depending on which procedures you decide to undergo. Whenever possible, Dr. Chiu places all incisions in inconspicuous locations and utilizes precise techniques to avoid visible scarring.
