Everything you need to know about male plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments at Bloom Plastic Surgery
Let’s face it — talking about plastic surgery hasn’t always been common for men. But that’s changing. More and more, men are taking ownership of how they age, how they present themselves professionally, and how they feel in their own skin. Whether it’s a sharper jawline, a stronger profile, or just looking less tired, the aesthetic goals are different, and we treat them differently, too.
At Bloom Plastic Surgery, Dr. Bloom and his team offer a tailored approach for men. That means understanding masculine anatomy, facial structure, and the natural differences in skin and fat distribution. It also means treatments that preserve a masculine look while achieving subtle, natural-looking results.
Below, we’re breaking down the most popular surgical and non-surgical procedures we offer for men, and what you can expect from each.
1.
Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Chest Reduction)
Excess chest tissue isn’t just a physical concern. It can affect confidence at the gym, pool, or even getting dressed in the morning. Gynecomastia surgery removes excess fat and glandular tissue from the chest area, creating a flatter, more defined contour. This outpatient procedure is typically done under general anesthesia, with small, discreet incisions for minimal visible scarring.
Recovery is relatively quick, and most men return to light activity within a few days, with more strenuous activity after 3–4 weeks.
2.
Male Liposuction
When diet and exercise aren’t enough to target stubborn areas like the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), or chest, liposuction can help. Dr. Bloom uses advanced liposuction techniques designed to sculpt the male body while preserving natural definition. It’s not about shrinking everything, it’s about improving proportion.
Most men who opt for liposuction are looking for refinement, not transformation. And that’s exactly what we deliver.
3.
Male Facelift & Neck Lift
Men typically want to avoid that “pulled” look, which is why Dr. Bloom focuses on strong jawlines and defined neck angles when performing male facelifts. These procedures target sagging skin, deep creases, and jowls without feminizing the face. For many men, the combination of a facelift and neck lift restores a firmer, more youthful appearance, especially when done before signs of aging become too advanced.
Recovery is typically about two weeks for social downtime, but results can last up to a decade or more.
4.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Heavy eyelids and under-eye bags can make you look tired, even when you’re not. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids for a brighter, more alert look. It’s a subtle but high-impact procedure that many men choose for its ability to refresh the face without making it obvious they’ve “had something done.”
Bonus: downtime is short, and most swelling subsides in about a week.
5.
Botox for Men (aka “Brotox”)
Botox isn’t just for smoothing crow’s feet. For men, it’s commonly used to relax deep forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and even to slim the jawline (for those with TMJ or clenching). Dr. Bloom’s approach to Botox for men is precise, aiming to soften without erasing natural expression.
Treatments take just 10–15 minutes and results gradually appear over a few days, lasting about 3–4 months.
6.
Filler for Men
Whether it’s restoring volume in the cheeks, sharpening the jawline, or filling in under-eye hollows, dermal fillers are a favorite among male patients looking for fast, non-surgical results. Dr. Bloom customizes every filler treatment to enhance masculine features while avoiding a “puffy” or overdone look.
Many men choose filler as a maintenance treatment every 6–12 months.
7.
Facials and Extractions for Men
A good skincare routine isn’t just about products, it’s also about maintenance. Our clinical facials are tailored to male skin, which tends to be thicker and oilier than women’s skin. Whether you’re dealing with clogged pores, blackheads, or razor irritation, regular facials and extractions can keep your skin clear, balanced, and looking healthy.
Our licensed providers use medical-grade products and techniques to deep clean, exfoliate, and decongest the skin, without harsh scrubbing or downtime. It’s self-care with real results.
The Bottom Line
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to aesthetics, and that’s especially true for men. Dr. Bloom and his team understand the unique goals, concerns, and expectations that male patients bring to the table, and we’re here to offer honest guidance and exceptional results.
