Nose Reshaping


Nose reshaping surgery, also known as Rhinoplasty, is an invasive cosmetic procedure designed to alter the shape, size, and projection of the nose to improve its aesthetic appearance. This surgery enables men to restructure their nose profile and harmonize it with their facial procedures.

During nose reshaping surgery, Plastic Surgeons either draw an incision on the skin lying between the nostrils or carry out the reshaping from the inside of the nose to avoid leaving surgical scars. The former, known as open rhinoplasty, allows Plastic Surgeons to produce more results but tends to leave incision scars that stay visible for a while.

Men can expect the following major results from rhinoplasty among others:

  • Reduction of the dorsal hump of the nose
  • Modification of the nasal tip
  • Altered nasal projection i.e., how much it extends from the surface
  • Correction of septal deviation
  • Easier breathing through the nose
  • Proportionate width of the nostrils
  • Eyelid Surgery


    With aging, our eyelids tend to get saggy as the muscle holding them in their place weakens and their surrounding skin gets stretched. This results in droopy eyes that make one look tired and older. That is the reason why more and more men are opting for eyelid surgery, also called Blepharoplasty, to remove excess skin of the upper and lower eyelids.

    During Blepharoplasty of the upper eyelid, Plastic Surgeons make an incision along the fold of the lid to remove unwanted skin, fat, and possibly a part of the lax muscle to restore a youthful look. In the case of lower eyelid surgery, a cut is made inside the lower lid or along the natural crease just below the lash line to restructure the area.

    Some of the notable aesthetic benefits provided by Blepharoplasty are:

  • No more baggy eyes
  • A more rested and younger look
  • Improvement of peripheral vision
  • Enhanced eye shape
  • Optimal results with minimal scarring
  • Cheeks Implant


    Aging effects can cause your cheeks to appear sunken and deficient in volume. This can not only make you look old but also disturb the natural balance of the face. Cheek implant or augmentation surgery aims to restore the natural volume of the cheeks to make them fuller and enhance the contours of the cheekbones.

    Men go for cheek implants to achieve a more masculine and stronger look or strengthen their cheek structure. Cheek implants come in three shapes; malar (placed under the cheekbone to give projection), submalar (used to increase the volume of the cheeks), and combined (increases both projection and mass). During surgery, Plastic Surgeons place the implants in the cheeks by making an incision inside your mouth or under the eyelid.

    Cheek augmentation with implants provides the following cosmetic effects:

  • Fuller cheeks
  • Higher cheekbones
  • Apparently well-developed jaw
  • A balanced face
  • No visible scarring
  • Muscles Enhancement with Liposuction


    Liposuction is widely used to perform muscle enhancement and contouring for men. It is a less invasive cosmetic procedure that involves harvesting fat cells from body parts with sufficient fat mass and transferring the extracted fat to volume-deficient areas. Liposuction is done with a cannula that dislocates and suctions the fat.

    By depositing fat in small proportions in the target areas, Plastic Surgeons achieve the following aesthetic results:

  • Contouring of muscles (e.g. deltoid, biceps, chest muscles)
  • Reduction in stubborn fat in the donor sites
  • Bulky and muscular appearance
  • Slimmer and reshaped donor areas
  • Immediate results without significant scarring
  • Ear Surgery


    Otoplasty, commonly known as ear cosmetic surgery, is a procedure that changes the size, shape, symmetry, and position of the ears to make them look more proportional and aesthetically appealing. Men decide to get otoplasty if they feel that their ears stick too much out from the sides of the face or they feel insecure about the overall appearance and size of their ears.

    During ear surgery, Plastic Surgeons make incisions behind the back and inner creases of the ears to access the cartilaginous structure. After removing extra skin and cartilage, the Practitioners fold the cartilage and fix it there with the help of sutures. Patients can expect several cosmetic results from the surgery:

  • Modification of significant creases and wrinkles
  • Reduced protrusion of ears
  • Increased or decreased size as per the wishes of the patient
  • Improved visual appearance
