The Man Zone

An collage of handsome men enjoying daily life.

Too embarrassed to venture out to see a Plastic Surgeon? Rest assured you are not alone. Dr. Gonyon sees men of all walks of life on a weekly basis. Nationally, cosmetic surgery for men has increased dramatically over the past few years. Common procedures men choose to undergo are listed below.

Botox® Underarm area

Many men suffer from extreme sweating in the underarm area. Botox® injections every 4-6 months in this region will dramatically reduce or eliminate sweating.

Procedure is virtually painless and is a 30 minute office procedure.

Facelift

A facelift (or rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the aging appearance of the face. There are several types of facelift procedures and all of them have different risks and benefits. Many surgeons advertise many types of minimally invasive or “quick and easy” facelift procedures. You may have seen these advertised as the Thread Lift, Contour Lift, the “Lifestyle” lift, the mini-facelift, the “lunch hour” facelift, etc. The names of these procedures sound attractive to patients who want great results with no recovery. Although the recovery may be lessened, so is the result. Typically a facelift and neck lift are performed simultaneously; however, occasionally a neck lift may be performed in isolation.

During your consultation with Dr. Gonyon, he will discuss with you what your goals are for improvement, and then recommend the appropriate procedure to provide the type of result you are looking for. For some patients, the correct facelift procedure will be a mini-facelift that has minimal downtime but still provides a good result. Some patients will need a more aggressive deep-plane facelift to meet their goal for improvement. Dr. Gonyon will also discuss other areas of the face such as the brow, eyelids, lips, and cheeks, and how to obtain a harmonious result by treating the entire face. Some of the procedures that Dr. Gonyon performs for facial rejuvenation include:

  • Deep-plane facelift
  • SMAS placation facelift
  • Mini-facelift
  • Necklift
  • Browlift
  • Autologus fat injecting (using your own fat to sculpt and rejuvenate the face)
  • Pro-Fractional Laser skin resurfacing
  • Skin-Tyte Infared skin tightening
  • Botox
  • Soft tissue fillers including Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, and Hyalform

Facial Rejuvenation & Skin Rejuvenation

If you are suffering from acne scarring, sun spots/age spots, and even wrinkles, BBL treatments might be a good solution.

Treatments are performed by a nurse and take 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed. Everyone has a body that they wish was a little thinner. Patients consult Dr. Gonyon for treatment of areas such as the neck, chin, jawline, male chest, abdomen, flank or “love handles,” and thighs. Dr. Gonyon performs both tumescent liposuction as well as VASER Liposelection.

People come in all different shapes and sizes. Every body type has areas that are predisposed to fat storage, and even with rigorous diet and exercise, those unwanted bulges often persist. With the new patented VASER ® Technology, there is now an efficient and precise method to rid yourself of those stubborn fat deposits to reveal a shapelier you. Doctors have reported great success in treating all of the following areas:

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is the excess of fatty tissue located in the breast tissue, no matter how much you bench press the issue will not go away.

Depending on the amount of fat needed to be removed, the procedure can either be done in-office or at the surgery center.
