If you’re a man, and you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about having some type of facial treatment or plastic surgery. You’re probably also reading this article in a place where nobody can see that you’re checking out Dr. Garcia’s website. Hey, it’s okay. You’re not alone. Men are actually the largest growing segment of patients in Dr. Phillip Garcia’s practice. Why should women be the only ones to take advantage of the latest surgical and non-surgical advances? Men have the right to look and feel their best too.
The key to getting the results you want with plastic surgery is to find a specialist like Dr. Garcia who routinely performs facial procedures on men. Men shouldn’t look too “done”. Men have different physiology from women, so it’s important to find a facial plastic surgeon that knows how to work with denser muscles, thicker skin and varying hairlines.
What exactly facial plastic surgery can do for you depends on your goals. Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery offers many surgical and non-surgical options to men including eyelifts, neck lifts, facelifts, nose jobs, chin implants, injections, fillers and more. Here’s the lowdown on a few of the most common treatments for men:
Eyelid Surgery 
Eyelid surgery for men, also known as male blepharoplasty, lets you look like a better version of yourself. This procedure tightens your upper and/or lower eyelids so you can look as energetic as you feel. During the procedure, Dr. Garcia focuses on removing just the right amount of eyelid skin, muscle, and fat to maintain a masculine look.
Neck Lift
Male neck lifts get rid of a double chin or turkey neck by defining your features. When Dr. Garcia performs neck lifts on men, he tightens the skin, but no so much that it is taut. Keeping the appropriate amount of softness keeps the lines natural looking.
Neck lifts are often performed at the same time as facelifts. Describing exactly how facelifts are done is difficult because the procedures are modified for every patient depending upon his anatomy and needs. Knowing that patients don’t want to look like they’ve had plastic surgery, Dr. Garcia leaves a few distinguished wrinkles in strategic places. His male patients who have had facelifts take pride in looking strong, masculine and healthy.
Rhinoplasty 
A rhinoplasty (i.e. nose job) will benefit you if you broke your nose playing sports when you were younger or just don’t like the shape of your nose. When performing a rhinoplasty, Dr. Garcia focuses on making your nose look good both from the front and the side. He ensures that the tip shape, nostril size, and bridge width are proportional to your face. You’ll look like an improved version of you minus the bump, lopsided bone or wide bridge.
Injectables
Injectable fillers such as Botox® are also on the rise among men. Injectables treat lines and wrinkles from smiling, squinting and frowning that make men appear angry, tired or stressed. Injectables can be used to discretely soften forehead lines, smooth nasolabial folds, fill depressions around the mouth, and more. Just the right amount of injectable can make you look sharper and feel more confident without your friends or anyone at work picking up on the change.
