If you are a man who’s wondering what a Daddy Do-Over can do for you, know that this customized body surgery can improve your looks in many ways, and it can boost your confidence. Since it is made up of a variety of different procedures, it is the perfect treatment for body enhancement. When you are evaluated for a makeover for men by your doctor, he or she will recommend procedures you might need and want. The following treatments will make you feel younger looking and more attractive when you have a Daddy Do-Over:

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess breast tissue to help men achieve a flatter, toned chest for a more masculine appearance. Gynecomastia is a medical condition not always caused by weight gain but it leaves many men embarrassed of their “man boobs.” This surgery has helped many men feel more confident so they can get back to doing the things they love without being concerned about their appearance.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck surgery gets rid of excess skin in the stomach area and tightens the abdominal muscles. Things that might make a man feel like he needs a tummy tuck include flabby skin resulting from weight fluctuations and loss of skin elasticity. Sometimes these body changes cause loose skin to hang down from the abdominal area, which can get in the way when engaging in exercise or intimate moments. A tummy tuck will flatten and tone your stomach while strengthening your core.

Liposuction

Liposuction eliminates stubborn excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. By removing this excess fat, you can enhance your body contours and enjoy a more toned appearance. This treatment can be used in many different areas including the jawline, waist, chest, back, and thighs. Liposuction can help you achieve a sharper jawline, smooth back and stomach, and a more toned physique.

Recovery

Since a Daddy Do-Over involves more than one procedure, recovery time varies. How long a man takes to recover depends on his age, his health, how many procedures he has had, and the complexity of the treatments. Instructions will be given to you by your doctor to ensure your safe recovery after your makeover is completed.

The world we live in has rarely been more focused on physical appearance than it is in the era of social media. Seeing changes to the male body can have a devastating effect on the confidence and life of a man no matter how old he is. Gynecomastia is a commonly seen medical condition that sees the growth of the male breast tissue to produce a swollen appearance that can limit self-confidence and severely affect the body image of any male patient. Male breast reduction surgery is a surgical option for reducing the impact of gynecomastia with improvements seen for around ten years following the completion of surgery.

How Can Surgery Help?

There are several ways to address gynecomastia, but the most effective is usually to undergo a male breast reduction procedure with a skilled surgeon, such as the doctors at New Image Plastic Surgery. The procedure is one that has been performed regularly to try to help males who are struggling to come to terms with their changing body shape.

The first step to take when looking to reduce the effects of this condition is to undergo a consultation with a qualified surgeon who can make the right choices about reducing the size of the breast or breasts. Once surgery begins, a surgeon will use liposuction to remove any excess fat from the breast area before making an incision to remove excess tissue. Some surgeons use general anesthesia with others choosing to use local sedation to complete the procedure with fewer risks to the individual patient.

How does Gynecomastia Occur?

There are several ways a man can be affected by gynecomastia, including the side effects of certain medications and medical treatments. The most common reason for the development of this medical condition is through hormonal changes that take place at different times of life. It is common for the level of the hormone testosterone to be low in those who are affected by gynecomastia, meaning it is prevalent in newborns, pubescent males, and those in middle-age and over. For those going through puberty, the swollen breast tissue can shrink when their hormones return to a normal level to leave them not needing surgery.

Recovery from Male Breast Reduction Surgery

Your surgeon will work with you to determine which form of surgery will work breast for any particular form of gynecomastia, which will affect your recovery. In some cases, liposuction is the only form of surgery needed and will lead to a recovery time of around one week. Other patients need a little longer to recover if breast tissue has to be removed, leading to a recovery time of around two weeks before exercise can be resumed. In almost every case, patients can return to work between seven to ten days after the procedure is completed.

If you are concerned about gynecomastia, contact Dr. Dallas Homas or Dr. Lisa Brostrom at New Image Plastic Surgery in San Antonio, Texas to schedule a consultation to discuss your surgical options.

With more time off for the holidays and the new year coming up, it’s the perfect time to restore your pre-pregnancy body with a mommy makeover! A mommy makeover is a combination of surgical procedures to address changes that have occurred after pregnancy and childbirth. If restoring your body and confidence is part of your New Year’s resolution, here’s what you need to know:

What Procedures to Include

The mommy makeover is highly customizable, so you can choose the procedures you need to address your unique concerns. The most commonly performed procedure after pregnancy is the tummy tuck. The abdominal area is highly affected by pregnancy, resulting in loose skin and tissue. With a tummy tuck, the abdominal tissue is tightened and excess skin is removed to achieve a toned appearance. Liposuction techniques can be used at the same time if stubborn fat is present.

The breasts are another area highly affected by pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you experience unwanted changes to your breasts after pregnancy, you might consider a procedure like a breast reduction to address enlarged breasts, or an augmentation with implants to restore volume loss. You might also consider adding a breast lift if you experience excess skin and sagging.

The Benefits of Combining Procedures

You might’ve thought you had to have each of your procedures done separately, however, it’s perfectly safe and even more beneficial to combine them. By having your procedures done at once, you won’t have to go through separate recovery processes. Instead, your surgical sites will heal together to reveal full-body rejuvenation. You can also expect to save money on fees by having the procedures done in one sitting.

To learn more about the mommy makeover or to start customizing your procedures, contact our office and schedule your consultation with Dr. Homasor Dr. Brostrom today.

Plastic surgery isn’t just for women! Men experience insecurities and unwanted changes to their bodies too, and with procedures tailored to their needs, they can achieve life-changing enhancements. Male plastic surgery has been on the rise overall, but here are some of the most popular procedures for men:

Body Contouring

One of the most popular surgical procedures for men is breast reduction, or gynecomastia surgery. Gynecomastia refers to enlarged breast tissue and is a very common condition among men, so it’s no wonder why the procedure is so popular! A breast reduction can remove the excess tissue and fat causing your enlarged breasts and create a flat, masculine chest.

Liposuction is another popular contouring procedure that is used to remove pockets of stubborn fat from the body. Stubborn fat can be present almost anywhere on the body but is found largely in the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and back. Liposuction not only removes stubborn fat, but sculpts the body to help men achieve a toned, masculine appearance.

Facial Rejuvenation

Men experience signs of aging just like women do, but you can find relief with Botox for men, commonly known as “Brotox.” Botox is used to smooth facial lines and wrinkles in the upper face such as crow’s feet in the outer corners of the eyes, frown lines between the brows, and forehead lines. The injectable formula can effectively reduce the appearance of your wrinkles for many months so you can look years younger!

When you think of plastic surgery, you might not consider procedures for your eyelids, but eyelid rejuvenation is actually quite popular among men and can make a huge difference in your appearance. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin in the upper or lower eyelids to help you achieve a more awake and youthful appearance. For some, eyelid surgery can even improve their vision by eliminating excess tissue blocking their sight.

Another popular procedure is a mini face and neck lift, using minimal incisions to sculpt the jawline and the neckline.  Removing some excess skin and fat, along with tightening the muscles under the chin can take years off!

New Image Plastic Surgery offers these procedures for men and more to help you look and feel your best! Contact our office today for your consultation with Dr. Homas or Dr. Brostrom to discuss which procedure might be right for you.

There is a common misconception that only women get plastic surgery, however, this is not the case at all! Men age in many of the same ways that women do and can develop facial wrinkles, folds, and sagging. There’s no reason why men shouldn’t look and feel their best too! Keep reading to find out why many men are choosing to get a facelift.

For a Younger Appearance

Wrinkles can begin to develop as early as your 30s and only get worse with time. Unfortunately, you can’t stop the clock, but you can reverse the effects it has on your appearance. With a facelift, men can achieve a younger look by smoothing out wrinkles and virtually eliminating sagging. A skilled plastic surgeon in San Antonio can give you a significantly younger-looking face while remaining natural. You’ll still look like you, just younger!

For a More Masculine Jawline

Plastic surgery aims to enhance the patient’s unique facial features. For women, that might mean looking more feminine and making certain features appear smaller, but for men, a facelift can create a more masculine appearance. A facelift can achieve this by tightening the underlying tissue in the lower face, creating a stronger, more defined jawline, and improving a double chin.

For Improved Confidence

Confidence plays a huge roll in your personal and professional life. If you’re self-conscious about your appearance, those aspects of your life are sure to be affected in some way. Your face is such an important and noticeable part of your body, so you’ll want to feel happy with the way it looks and the way people view you. A facelift can restore your confidence by taking years off your face and making you look more awake and refreshed, so you can tackle each day with confidence.

Every patient’s concerns and goals are unique, so schedule a consultation with a board-certified surgeon to find out exactly what a facelift could do for you! Contact our office today for a consultation with Dr. Homas or Dr. Brostrom in the San Antonio, TX area.
