Cosmetic Surgery for Men

Richmond Virginia in top 10 U.S. cities for cosmetic surgery?

 

Believe it or not, Richmond, Virginia was listed as one of the top 10 cities in the USA for cosmetic surgery.  Male cosmetic facial surgery being a big part of Dr. Niamtu's practice makes him a contributor to this rating.  It also shows the growing popularity of cosmetic facial surgery for both men and women.

Men and minorities are the largest growing group of cosmetic surgery patients. Although more popular with females, men want to stay young and healthy too! As the attitudes of society change, men are living longer, working out, staying healthy and looking younger. Many men want to look younger to be competitive in relationships and in the workplace.

Although the procedures are basically the same for men and women, there are many small differences that must be appreciated by the cosmetic surgeon. For instance if the surgeon treats male eyelids in the same manner as female eyelids, the result will be a feminized look, which is unacceptable. These small subtleties carry over to every single operation, which means that men want a surgeon who understands these details.

The most popular cosmetic facial procedures for men are:

• Eyelid Surgery
• Facelift Surgery
• Facial Implant Surgery
• Facial Liposuction
• Spider Vein Removal
• Botox Treatment
• Facial Filler Injection

Male Facelift Scars

Facial surgical scars generally heal excellent in males.  Although they heal well in females as well, the male skin is thicker and generally bearded which truly serves to camouflage the scar.  Most male facelift cars are impreceptble...............only your hair dresser knows for sure!

Dr. Niamtu takes extra time and technique and expertise to hide facelift scars where they are barely perceptible.

Radio and TV personality Bill Bevins decided that it was time to do something for his appearance. "People kept asking me if I was tired" said Bill, "so I consulted my longtime friend Dr. Joe Niamtu for options. The surgery was done in his office surgery center and took less than an hour and I was back at work on Monday," Bevins added. "I am glad I did it and should have done it a long time ago. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to look and feel better."
