More men than ever are choosing plastic surgery to look as strong, energized, and confident as they feel. At Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang sees male patients from Alpharetta, GA, and Tampa, FL, who want targeted, natural-looking improvements without changing what makes them look like themselves. Whether men are seeking tighter contour through gynecomastia surgery and tummy tuck or addressing specific areas through rhinoplasty and liposuction, Dr. Mang can help men highlight their masculinity.
What Are the Top 4 Most Popular Plastic Surgeries for Men?
- Gynecomastia surgery (male chest reduction): Removes excess glandular tissue and fat to create a flatter, more defined chest. Dr. Mang typically combines liposuction with precise tissue excision an, when needed, reshapes or repositions the nipple-areola complex for symmetry.
- Rhinoplasty: Refines nasal shape and proportion and can also address functional issues such as airflow obstruction, delivering aesthetic and functional benefits in one operation when appropriate.
- Liposuction: Targets stubborn fat deposits—love handles, abdomen, chest border, and flanks—when fitness and nutrition have done most of the work, but certain areas won’t budge.
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): Removes redundant skin and tightens the abdominal wall after weight loss or changes over time. Dr. Mang tailors technique for a firm, masculine contour.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Plastic Surgery?
Ideal candidates are healthy nonsmokers (or willing to pause nicotine) with realistic goals, a stable weight, and a desire for structural improvements rather than scale-based weight loss. Many men seek surgery after consistent training and sound nutrition have revealed what still won’t change: soft tissue over the lower chest, a persistent belly “apron,” or a nose profile that draws attention away from the eyes. During a consultation, Dr. Mang reviews medical history, evaluates anatomy, and explains which procedure or combination fits priorities and schedule. Men who are finishing a weight-loss journey or who have completed family plans often make excellent candidates for body contouring, because results tend to be more predictable when weight is stable.
How Does Gynecomastia Surgery Work?
Gynecomastia is a hormonally influenced enlargement of male breast tissue that can be made worse by certain medications, anabolic steroids, or weight fluctuations. Surgery typically involves two coordinated steps under anesthesia. First, liposuction removes excess fat to smooth the chest wall and transition zones. Then, through a small incision camouflaged at the edge of the areola or within the chest contour, Dr. Mang removes dense glandular tissue that liposuction alone cannot address. When indicated, the nipple-areola complex is resized or subtly elevated to match the flatter chest and to ensure symmetry from multiple angles. A compression garment limits swelling and supports the new contour while tissues settle. Most men notice a significant improvement immediately, with confidence increasing as swelling resolves and the final shape takes form.
Can Rhinoplasty Address Both Aesthetic and Practical Concerns?
Male rhinoplasty can straighten or smooth a dorsal hump, refine a bulbous tip, narrow excessive width, and balance projection so the nose complements a stronger brow and jawline. Just as important, internal structural issues, such as a deviated septum or valve collapse, can be corrected during the same operation when appropriate. Dr. Mang’s approach emphasizes conservative reshaping for natural harmony and functional stability, so the nose fits the face from all angles and breathing remains comfortable.
When is the Best Time to Get Liposuction?
Liposuction is not a shortcut to weight loss—it is a precision tool for spot-reducing resistant fat once body weight and fitness are stable. The right time is when training and nutrition are consistent, weight is near a maintainable target, and the areas of concern are in clearly defined pockets—such as flanks that soften a V-taper, a lower-abdominal bulge that hides core definition, or fullness at the chest border that blurs pec lines. During consultation, Dr. Mang maps treatment zones, explains anesthesia options, reviews garment use, and outlines the return-to-work and return-to-training timeline so procedures can be scheduled around busy seasons at work or in sport. For men aiming to enhance muscle definition, he may recommend selective liposuction combined with strategic fat preservation to accentuate lines along the obliques and lower abdomen—subtle details that read as athletic rather than overdone.
How Can a Tummy Tuck Highlight Masculine Features?
A tummy tuck addresses issues liposuction alone cannot—namely, loose skin and lax or separated abdominal muscles. For men, the aesthetic goal is a firmer, straighter torso with a low, easily concealed incision and a natural-looking navel. Dr. Mang individualizes technique (full, mini, or extended abdominoplasty) based on how far excess skin and laxity extend. When indicated, he repairs diastasis recti to restore core support and posture, then redrapes the skin for a flatter, tighter abdomen. Many men combine abdominoplasty with selective liposuction of the waist to sharpen lines through the flanks without over-narrowing the hips, keeping proportions strong and masculine. Stretch marks that sit on skin removed during the procedure can be improved, and remaining marks often look less prominent once the skin is tighter and smoother.
Can Different Plastic Surgeries Be Combined Into One Procedure?
In the right candidates, combining procedures can streamline recovery and time away from work. Common pairings include gynecomastia surgery with high-definition liposuction to define the lateral chest and axillary border, or a tummy tuck with flank liposuction to complete a 360-degree midsection recontour. Facial and body procedures are sometimes staged to optimize safety and precision—especially if operative time would be lengthy otherwise.
What Does Recovery After Plastic Surgery Look Like?
Recovery depends on the procedure mix and baseline fitness, but several principles apply. Expect early swelling, possible bruising, a compression garment when body contouring is performed, and activity restrictions that ease in stages. After gynecomastia surgery or liposuction, many men are up and walking the day after surgery and back to desk work in about one to two weeks, gradually returning to training with surgeon-approved milestones. A tummy tuck involves a longer window before core work resumes because muscle repair must be protected as it heals. Light walking begins right away, but lifting and high-intensity exercise are phased in after clearance. Follow-up visits assess symmetry, contour, and scar maturation and help tailor the return-to-sport plan to individual goals.
How Can I Maintain My Results After Plastic Surgery?
- Lock in lifestyle habits. Keep body weight stable through consistent nutrition, protein-forward meals, hydration, and regular sleep. For chest and torso procedures, strength training that respects post-op timelines preserves muscular support under tightened skin.
- Protect healing and long-term quality of life. Wear compression as directed, use silicone-based scar care once cleared, avoid steroids or medications linked with gynecomastia unless medically necessary, practice daily sun protection, and schedule routine check-ins so small questions never become big issues.
