More Men Getting Necklift and Eyelid Surgeries


HealthNewsDigest.com

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Whether he’s a gym buff, a busy professional, or on the verge of retirement, men have a lot of the same aging and image concerns as women do. For years men have been merely an afterthought when it comes to cosmetic enhancements. With the introduction of less invasive surgeries and non-surgical rejuvenation treatments, men now have a full arsenal of options to help them tackle the aging process.

Facial rejuvenation for men is not about looking 30 when you hit 50. Rather, it is about choosing a reasonable approach to caring for your skin, sun avoidance, and intervention when it is indicated. The key to anti-aging is maintenance. Compare it to working out; you can’t just go to the gym once in a while. Rather, you have to keep going on a regular basis to maintain the benefits.

The two main trends we are seeing among men are their desire to do something to tighten their necks, and baggy eyelids. Men are far less wrinkle obsessed than women are. They don’t always mind a few lines and creases, but they tend to zero in on fatty deposits under their eyes that make them look tired and older, and they always complain about their necks slackening up. However, there are excellent minimally invasive remedies for both of these concerns that I recommend especially for men who want a short recovery without the risks, scars and telltale signs of major cosmetic procedures. My main goal is to provide a natural and long-lasting result with a rapid recovery.

For baggy lids, we can address the fatty bulges through a scarless “transconjunctival” approach that involves placing an incision only inside the lower id. Using fine instruments I remove a small amount of excess fat to smooth out the contour of this area. In some cases, we can also inject a hyaluronic acid filler to fill in the tear trough area, or hollows below the lids that can cause a darkened shadow.



My signature Rapid Recovery Necklift was specifically designed for my high profile male executive clients who need to be back in their office in a week. I use only small hidden incisions carefully placed to avoid disturbing the hairline. By utilizing a high definition telescope, I can lift the tissues very efficiently to produce a smooth neck contour with an almost bloodless technique and avoid the use of uncomfortable drainage tubes. By using advanced tissue glue adhesives, we can also significantly cut down on bruising and bleeding, which is more common in men.



Men are rarely comfortable talking about having any work done, and usually keep it a secret from their partners, colleagues and friends. The modern techniques we are using offer very distinct advantages in terms of the length of time the operation takes to perform, after care and recovery. The Rapid Recovery Necklift can be performed in our fully accredited surgical suite, and they can be home the same day with private nursing care as needed. In most cases, they are back to work in a week, and to the gym in two to three weeks, without anyone knowing they have had anything done.
