Although our practice sees a majority of women for cosmetic surgery, these body enhancing procedures are not exclusively just for the female gender. In recent years we've seen an increasing number of men consulting to address their physical concerns. For some this is aging, for others it may be looking for help after massive weight loss, and yet for others the concern is maintaining youthfulness in an increasingly competitive job market.

These concerns can be addressed in several different ways at Owsley Plastic Surgery and often we recommend a multi-faceted approach to achieve the best results. To improve skin quality, we highly recommend a series of chemical peels followed by quality home care products, such as SkinCeuticals. If veins are your concern, you may be a candidate for laser treatment. If volume loss and facial aging are what's bugging you, injectables, such as Dysport and Perlane may be able to treat your problem areas. If other areas or more aggressive aging is the issue, you may be a surgical candidate.

The surgical procedures most sought after by men in our area include, but are not limited to liposuction, facelift, and upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). Liposuction can be performed on many areas of the body but in men is most commonly seen in the abdomen and flanks, chest, back, thighs and chin. Facelifts address the deep lines and facial aging, and often most importantly, the "turkey neck." Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lifts, can be performed on the upper and lower lids and is a relatively simple procedure that can be done in office. Blepharoplasties help to get rid of the sleepy and tired look that we tend to get as we age by removing the sagging skin and excess fat located in our lids. Upper blepharoplasties can also potentially be covered by insurance, if the upper lids are blocking a portion of the visual field which can be determined by your local eye doctor.
