Plastic Surgery for Men: How To Prepare For Your Consult

Here in my office, I have noticed an undeniable trend in recent years that more men than ever before are coming in to discuss plastic surgery and how it can help them improve their appearance and self-esteem. Male plastic surgery is absolutely on the rise, which has led to many questions from patients pertaining to cosmetic procedures for men. One of the many ways that plastic surgery for men is the same as plastic surgery for women is the importance of preparation and the pre-surgery consultation appointment.

In my experience, men seek out plastic surgery hoping to achieve subtle, natural-looking plastic surgery results that can help them look and feel younger. How this is achieved will depend on the specifics of each patient and surgery, but one thing that remains constant is the importance of making the most of your plastic surgery consultation appointment. Every person will have their own priorities, goals, concerns, and questions to address during their consultation, but I have found in the past that providing a simple template of starter questions like the ones below can often be very helpful to patients early on in the process:

• Are you board-certified as a plastic surgeon?
• Do you have much experience performing plastic surgery on male patients?
• Which procedures do you perform most commonly on men?
• Do you have any specific procedures or surgical techniques that are used during procedures on male patients?
• Do you have any before-and-after photos from other male patients who have undergone my procedure?
• How subtle will my final results be?
• Will I be able to discreetly conceal post-surgery scarring and other post-surgical effects?
• Can I use plastic surgery financing to help pay for surgery?

It means a lot to me to see so many more men seeking out plastic surgery today than ever before. I take pride in being able to help all of my patients, regardless of gender, feel better about themselves and how they look.
