Plastic Surgery for Men in Los Angeles, CA

Dr. Bresnick believes that men should enjoy all the benefits of looking and feeling their best. He offers both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments for men in his Los Angeles plastic surgery practice. From restoring a more masculine chest appearance on men with breast development to sculpting the face, we offer the treatments that men need to look better and increase their self-confidence. What aesthetic concerns do you have? Odds are, we offer a treatment to address them. Plastic surgery for men uses many of the same surgical techniques as plastic surgery on a woman, but the goal is different. While women want soft curves and feminine features, our male patients want to look strong, masculine, sculpted, and defined. Many of our male patients are concerned about scarring and don’t want to look like they’ve had cosmetic work done. Dr. Bresnick uses his 25+ years of plastic surgery experience and his deep understanding of male anatomy to shape and sculpt his male patients to achieve their ideal aesthetic. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best and feel confident, male or female. Learn more about plastic surgery for men in Los Angeles.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)

Breast development in men, a condition known as gynecomastia, is a common problem affecting many men at some point in their lives. Gynecomastia or breast tissue development in men can begin before puberty. Often it grows during puberty and gets worse. Gaining weight, genetics, hormones, and medications may be linked to this problem. Mild cases caused by excess fat (often called “pseudogynecomastia”) may resolve with just diet and exercise. However, in cases where there is excess glandular breast tissue present, only surgery can help.

Plastic surgery can fully restore a more masculine chest contour, eliminating the embarrassment and frustration that men with excess breast tissue often experience. We love helping men feel more comfortable in their bodies through gynecomastia treatment.

Dr. Bresnick, a board certified plastic surgeon, has extensive experience treating gynecomastia through male breast reduction. He uses a variety of techniques including liposuction and surgical excision to create a flatter, more defined chest appearance. This is one of our most popular procedures for men, and most patients can return to work within just a week of their procedure.

Ear Surgery for Men

Men with prominent ears often desire plastic surgery. We use otoplasty, which is a type of cosmetic ear surgery to reshape the ear and position it closer to the head. Ear surgery is very popular amongst our male patients. Since men tend to wear shorter hair styles than women, the ears are very visible and it’s more difficult to disguise prominent ears. Ear surgery can help restore confidence for men with an abnormal ear appearance.

Otoplasty can be performed on male patients starting at age 5. Dr. Bresnick regularly performs this procedure on children, teens, and adult men. He has extensive ear surgery experience, including cosmetic otoplasty and repair of ear trauma.

Eyelid Surgery for Men

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can restore a more youthful eye appearance to the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can treat fatty bags under the eyes, loose eyelid skin, and eyelid sagging. Blepharoplasty is popular with both men and women. Our male patients love that this procedure can improve vision by removing sagging eyelids that cover the eye, and restore a more vibrant appearance.

Eyelid surgery is consistently one of the top 5 most popular cosmetic procedures for men in the U.S. In 2016 more than 31,000 treatments were performed on men around the country. At our Los Angeles plastic surgery practice, we can tailor this procedure to the unique needs of men and their ideal aesthetic.
