Male Aesthetic Surgery New York City

More and more men are seeking cosmetic surgery than ever before. The reasons are many and include:

• Desire to feel attractive
• Improved self-esteem, self-confidence, sense of self
• Men are retiring later, at an older age
• Need to stay competitive in workforce alongside younger men and women
• Greater attributions of credibility if a man appears younger/more attractive
• Attention to sustaining good health through exercise, diet and fitness
• Need to “look as young as you feel”
• Maintaining physical appeal for spouses, partners, and everyone else

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 1.1 million cosmetic surgeries were perform on men in 2010 and has increased several percentage points each year. The greatest increases have been in male Facelifts, Necklifts, Liposuction and Breast Reduction [Gynecomastia]. And despite the downturn in the economy since 2008, the absolute number of cases is going up annually.

Cosmetic Surgery for men applies the same principles for surgery as for women–with a difference. Dr. Simone has developed and refined surgical concepts and techniques specific to the needs of men by his in-depth knowledge of male anatomy and concepts of male beauty. With body liposculpture and surgical procedures, he can define musculature of the abdomen, chest, flanks and arms. In the older male, it is critical to maintain the strength of ‘male character’ visually while reducing and improving on the signs of age, loss of tissue integrity, laxity of skin and body changes through weight gain and loss of muscle mass. Lower testosterone comes with age reducing the ability to build and sustain muscle bulk and definition, even with vigorous exercise. This is compounded by relatively higher proportion of female to male hormone ratios Many plastic surgeons, however do not make the necessary surgical adjustments to maintain ‘maleness’ and often wind up feminizing male patients.
