Body Procedures for Men

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is the development of excess fat and/or glandular breast tissue in men, often caused by hormonal changes, certain medications or genetics. Treatment typically involves liposuction to remove fatty tissue and, in some cases, excision of glandular tissue and skin to create a flatter, firmer, more masculine chest contour.

Results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight. Recovery takes one to two weeks for most patients, and Dr. Vitenas includes compression garments and follow-up care in the surgical fee.

Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fatty tissue that resists diet and exercise. For men, the most common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), chest and neck. Dr. Vitenas infuses a fluid with diluted epinephrine and local anesthesia into the fat tissue before suctioning, which minimizes bleeding and improves post-operative comfort.

Liposuction is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution, and it works best on men who are close to their goal weight with good skin elasticity.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer midsection. Men who have lost a significant amount of weight or notice loose skin around the lower abdomen are strong candidates. Dr. Vitenas places the incision just above the pubic bone so the scar sits below the waistline.

For men with concerns limited to the area below the navel, a mini tummy tuck may be sufficient, requiring a shorter incision and a faster recovery.

Body Lift

A body lift is one of the most comprehensive contouring procedures available. It combines a tummy tuck with a back lift to address the full circumference of the torso, lifting the buttocks, toning the thighs and creating a more defined waist in a single surgery.

Dr. Vitenas has performed body lifts for over 30 years and considers it one of the most powerful operations in plastic surgery. No other single procedure can reshape the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks and thighs at the same time.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction from the abdomen, flanks or thighs, to add volume and shape to the buttocks. The procedure contours the donor areas while enhancing the rear, giving the body a more athletic silhouette. Dr. Vitenas purifies and carefully injects the fat in layers to maximize graft survival and achieve a natural-looking result.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. Dr. Vitenas places the incision on the underside of the arm, running from the armpit to the elbow, so the scar is hidden when the arm is at rest. This approach has made brachioplasty a far more appealing option than it was decades ago, when scars were placed along the inner arm and rarely healed well. Dr. Vitenas performs arm lifts on patients as young as their 30s with excellent results.

Back Lift

A back lift targets excess skin and fat on the upper or lower back. The upper back lift addresses rolls above the waist, while the lower back lift removes sagging tissue above the buttocks and lifts the rear. For men who have lost weight and carry loose skin in these areas, a back lift can create a dramatically smoother, more toned appearance. It is often performed as part of a body lift for comprehensive contouring.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift reshapes the inner or outer thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in firmer, more proportionate legs. This procedure is commonly sought after significant weight loss, when the skin has lost its elasticity and no amount of squats or lunges will tighten it. Liposuction is often performed alongside the thigh lift for additional sculpting.

Calf Implants

Calf implants use silicone implants to add size, definition and symmetry to the lower legs. Men with naturally thin calves, asymmetry from injury, or defects from a medical condition may benefit from calf augmentation. Implants can also be combined with fat grafting to refine the result from all angles.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer takes unwanted fat from one area of the body and reinjects it where volume is needed. Beyond the BBL, fat grafting can be used to improve contours in the face, hands or chest. Because the fat comes from your own body, there’s no risk of rejection, and the result looks and feels natural.
