About Male Plastic Surgery
There has long been a stigma that plastic surgery is uniquely for women. This, however, is slowly becoming a thing of the past, as an increasing number of men have started to undergo plastic surgery procedures in recent years. (1) Dr. Lefkovits and his team have met this demand by offering various cosmetic treatments tailored specifically towards men. Some of these treatments include:
Male Liposuction
Stubborn fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks, chest, and neck can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Male liposuction targets these resistant areas using small cannulas to remove unwanted fat and sculpt the male form. Dr. Lefkovits takes into account male anatomy and body fat distribution, ensuring that the results appear natural and proportionate. Liposuction is often used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other body contouring procedures to refine the torso, making it one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the world.

Male Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
For men dealing with loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles, often due to significant weight loss or aging, a tummy tuck can restore a stronger, flatter core. Dr. Lefkovits will make a low horizontal incision to tighten the abdominal wall and remove sagging skin and excess fat. This procedure not only improves the appearance of the midsection but also enhances core strength and posture.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)
Gynecomastia, the enlargement of male breast tissue, can be a source of physical and emotional discomfort for many men. Dr. Lefkovits performs male breast reduction surgery to restore a flatter, firmer chest contour. This procedure involves liposuction, surgical excision, or a combination of both to remove excess fat and glandular tissue. Incisions are placed discreetly to minimize visible scarring.
Other Procedures for Men
Beard and Mustache Transplant
A beard and mustache transplant restores facial hair by transplanting follicles from the scalp to the face. Ideal for men with patchy growth or scarring, it enhances facial symmetry and masculinity. The technique mirrors scalp hair transplants, ensuring natural-looking results.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) for Men
Male blepharoplasty focuses on removing or repositioning fat and excess skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery is among the top five most popular plastic surgery procedures for men. (3) Dr. Lefkovits takes extra care to preserve the natural contours of the male eye, avoiding an overly wide or unnatural appearance. The result is a rested, more alert look that can significantly enhance facial expression and self-assurance.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for Men
A Brazilian butt lift for men, sometimes called the “Brozilian butt lift” enhances the buttocks’ shape and volume by transferring fat from other body areas. Dr. Lefkovits ensures a masculine contour, improving proportions and overall body balance.
Daddy Makeover
A comprehensive approach to male aesthetic enhancement, a daddy makeover combines procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, and gynecomastia surgery to rejuvenate a man’s physique.
Hair Restoration and/or Transplant (FUT & FUE)
Hair restoration and hair transplant treatments involve relocating healthy follicles to thinning areas. FUT (strip method) and FUE (individual extraction) are both offered and chosen based on individual circumstances. Dr. Lefkovits’ expertise ensures minimal scarring and optimal density, helping patients regain confidence with a fuller hairline.
Facelift for Men
A facelift for men tightens sagging skin and facial muscles, restoring a youthful appearance on a man’s face. Dr. Lefkovits focuses on maintaining masculine features, ensuring results that look natural and rejuvenated without appearing overdone.
Male Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty for men focuses on improving nasal symmetry while retaining strong, masculine facial proportions. Whether addressing a crooked nose, dorsal hump, wide bridge, or breathing issues, Dr. Lefkovits customizes each male rhinoplasty to enhance both function and appearance. Most men undergo closed rhinoplasty, which involves internal incisions and minimal visible scarring. The final result is a nose that complements the face while preserving a masculine and natural-looking appearance.
