Procedures for Men

Weight gain, weight loss, and factors beyond your control, such as genetics, can contribute to an abdomen that protrudes or folds over your waistline. Whether it's a small pouch around the navel or more extensive areas like love handles, an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck for men might be the solution to address stubborn fat in the abdomen.

At the Plastic Surgery Center of Stockton, we tailor each procedure to safely sculpt a flat, toned, masculine abdomen and waist that complements your body and meets your aesthetic goals.

For a full tummy tuck, the incision is made from hip to hip just above the pubic area, resulting in a discreet horizontal scar when wearing undergarments. This technique provides access to a large portion of the abdomen, allows for the repositioning of the belly button to a natural appearance, and involves liposuction to remove excess fat before tightening the skin. The internal abdominal muscles are secured to achieve a firm, toned look.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or an eye lift, is a customized procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids. For men, it can refine the contour of the upper eyelids by removing excess skin and address issues such as hollows, bags, or puffiness in the lower eyelids by removing excess fat or skin. Additionally, it can help improve the appearance of sad or down-turned eyes.

Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on individual needs. The approach involves removing loose skin or tissue and extracting or repositioning fat deposits. The upper and lower eyelids use different techniques and incision sites to achieve optimal results. The procedure is often combined with a brow lift or Botox to provide comprehensive improvement in the eye area.

A facelift is designed for both men and women to address sagging skin and deep creases on the face and neck that develop with aging. The procedure involves tightening underlying muscles and tissue while removing excess skin to create a youthful appearance.

We take meticulous care to place incisions discreetly, ensuring they remain hidden after surgery. A facelift rejuvenates the face and neck, achieving a natural look that aligns with the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Gynecomastia is the over-development of male breast tissue, which can lead to significant embarrassment and affect self-image. Up to 60% of men worldwide experience some degree of gynecomastia.

Various factors, including genetic traits, obesity, steroid use, marijuana use, metabolic disorders, and certain medications can cause this condition. While many cases resolve independently, severe instances may require a medical evaluation and potential surgical intervention.

In some cases, gynecomastia results from an excess of fatty tissue and may be effectively treated with liposuction. However, when the condition is due to the abnormal growth of fibrous glandular tissue, surgical excision is necessary. This involves making an incision along the areolar border (the junction of dark and light skin) to remove the thickened breast tissue beneath the nipple.

Liposuction is a procedure that removes excess fat from various areas of the body. While often associated with women, it is also a popular and effective option for men. Despite being fit, some individuals may still have stubborn fat deposits under the chin, chest, breast area, or around the flanks and abdomen.

Although diet and exercise can reduce the size of fat cells, liposuction reduces their number, helping redefine your shape and contour. This procedure can address small, isolated areas and more significant regions with unwanted fat, achieving results that diet and exercise alone might not.

With its small incisions, minimal downtime, and focus on safety, comfort, and lifestyle, the Plastic Surgery Center of Stockton can help you eliminate excess fat and achieve a body custom-sculpted to your proportions.
