Traditionally, the majority of plastic surgery patients have been female, but that trend is changing. 
Thanks to the fading stigma associated with cosmetic procedures, men are gaining the confidence to admit they want to improve their looks and to go for it. Men are taking pride in how they look. Whether they want to feel more confident or to maintain a more youthful appearance, there are options for men in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia, or excessive breast tissue, is a relatively common issue for men. This condition can cause embarrassment and stress, impeding upon one’s ability to enjoy their life. Male breast reduction works to remove excess tissue, reconstruct the contours of the chest, and ultimately restore confidence right away.
Depending on the individual case of each patient, male breast reduction treatment can involve liposuction, surgery, or a combination of both. If the breast is filled with mostly fatty tissue, Dr. Levens will primarily use liposuction. On the other hand, if the breast consists of glandular tissue, surgery might be in order. Nipples can also be resized or adjusted as desired.
Liposuction
Male patients seeking liposuction often desire a tighter, more toned upper body, or are just pursuing a more youthful and masculine appearance. Even with a stringent diet and exercise regimen, there can be stubborn pockets of fat left over that will not budge. While many parts of the body can benefit from this procedure, it is most often performed on areas like the lower back, thighs, chest, buttocks, and abdomen.
One of the main benefits of liposuction is that it is minimally invasive. That means that it requires a shorter downtime and recovery period, comes with minimal scarring, and boasts an overall more natural result.
Dermal Fillers
Men and women show the signs of aging differently, and it is important to see a doctor that understands these differences. In men, some of the most common signs of aging we see are in deep forehead creases, fine lines due to sun damage, drooping in the face, and sagging jowls. Dermal fillers are a great way to address these issues without the need for invasive surgeries.
Dermal fillers and injectables require little to no downtime and treatments can often be taken care of during your lunch break. Furthermore, the cost of these procedures is comparatively quite reasonable, leaving only a small dent in your wallet as well as your calendar.
