Common cosmetic goals for men involve rejuvenating their neck, enhancing the appearance of their chin and jawline contour and improving the appearance of the eyelid area.
The most popular procedures for men performed by Dr. Turowski include:
Chin augmentation (mentoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of a weak or receding chin to create a more youthful and attractive facial profile. People who are born with a poorly defined chin often opt for mentoplasty to achieve better facial balance. In certain cases, mentoplasty is performed to correct inborn defects. To achieve optimal facial harmony, chin augmentation is often performed together with rhinoplasty.
Chin augmentation is typically performed using a solid silicone implant. These implants are usually inserted through a minute incision under the chin. Although this is scar usually heals well, Dr. Turowski also offers the option of an incision inside the mouth which leaves no visible scars. Silicone implants are typically selected over other materials. These types of implants cause the least amount of problems and possible complications and do not require any metal screws for positioning. There are many types, shapes and sizes of implants.
Dr. Turowski will go over the choices with you to select the best option. We also offer a 3D computer simulation program which allows for previewing of the actual results.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, aims to address issues such as sagging or puffiness beneath the eyes and excessive heaviness in the upper eyelid. If your eyes appear tired or have bags beneath them due to genetics or aging, or if they seem puffy without any apparent reason, such as crying or lack of sleep, then you may be a suitable candidate for the blepharoplasty procedure. Many men don’t like looking tired or less sharp and wish to correct this exhausted appearance for the sake of work competitiveness or personal life.
Upper eyelid surgery typically consists of the removal of excess amounts of skin and a strip of underlying orbicularis muscle. In some cases, excessive fat tissue is also trimmed to achieve a more youthful and alert appearance. The incisions are practically undetectable.
Lower eyelid surgery (bag removal) can be done in several ways. To achieve the most natural and safe results, Dr. Turowski not only removes excess fat but also performs fat repositioning. This is all done from the inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach). In some cases, excess skin is also removed through an outside incision. These scars are typically not detectable. This unique double inside/outside approach saves the middle part of the eyelid (septum) to avoid eyelid retraction and other potential problems.
Neck/Face lift is a surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the face, neck and jawline, while reducing visible signs of aging. When performed on men, most of these procedures are directed towards the neck rather than the face. Unnecessary lifting of the face can inadvertently feminize male faces and one should be careful with this approach.
The goal of a neck lift is to enhance the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the underlying muscles and repositioning the skin. In some cases, this procedure can be combined with chin augmentation.
