The most common cosmetic procedures men are opting for are liposuction, eyelifts, laser treatment, male breast reduction and rhinoplasty.

One of the most common procedure being performed on men lately is the upper eyelid surgery, it seems overall facial procedures are very common with men as this is an area of the male body that can’t be changed with exercise.  Another reason facial procedures are so common with men is because of the job market.  With the job market being so competitive, men now more than ever, are trying to keep up with their younger competition.  Eyelid surgery Portland is a great way to give a fresh look to your appearance.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons the most popular cosmetic surgery for men in 2011 was rhinoplasty closely followed by eyelid surgery, liposuction, breast reduction and face-lift.  The most popular non-surgical procedure is Botox then laser hair removal, microdermabrasion, soft tissue fillers and chemical peels.

That’s great news for more than 200,000 Americans who chose body contouring through liposuction in 2011, including many of our own patients. Most lipo patients come to us with complaints about stubborn fat deposits that won’t respond to exercise or diet, no matter how hard they’ve tried. Liposuction—also known as liposculpture, which reflects the surgeon’s ability to shape the body with the treatment—targets just these areas of fat. In traditional liposuction, fat is vacuumed from the body through a small device called a cannula, which is inserted in the body with tiny incisions.

A variety of different liposuction techniques have been developed that include the use of laser and ultrasound technologies.

While liposuction is commonly performed on the lower torso, thighs, and arms, many areas of the body can be successfully treated with liposuction, including the breasts, face, and neck. Liposuction Portland can also be combined with the following cosmetic procedures to further refine the results of the surgeries:

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty)
Breast lift (mastopexy)
Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty)
Facelift (rhytidectomy)
Neck lift
Liposuction is performed on an outpatient basis; it is a minimally invasive procedure with a relatively short recovery period, making it an attractive option for permanent fat reduction. It is not a weight-loss tool, however; candidates for the procedure need to be close to their normal weight. Contact us today to get rid of those pesky fat deposits forever!

A chin implant can help with facial symmetry.  There is reason to believe that the more symmetrical the face the more attractive the person is.

There are a few different reasons for why your face may not be symmetrical, these reasons include, but not limited to the face or chin did not develop all of the way or you may have been involved in an accident.

Others seek chin implants to enhance their profiles. Chin implants create a strong jaw line, which will enhance your profile. Chin implants can also enhance an area that may have fatty tissues, for example on the neck. Putting the chin implant in will allow the skin to become tighter, thus making your profile look younger and better.

Rhinoplasty Portland is one of the oldest forms of plastic surgery. It has been around for more than twenty five centuries. A lot of procedures today owe their methods to the ancient rhinoplasty techniques that originated in ancient India. Rhinoplasty is derived from the coinage of two Greek words and implies modification or restructuring of the nose. Popularly it is known as a nose job. There are various reasons why one may look for rhinoplasty in Portland. Accidents leading to a nose injury, deformed nose or one that have aesthetic defects, people suffering from respiratory problems or those who just want to have a better shaped nose to enhance the facial appearance are common cases where rhinoplasty is opted for.
For rhinoplasty  plastic surgeons may use any or a combination of four popular methods. They are rhinotip, rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty and rhinoplasty reconstruction. The various treatments are offered by otolaryngologists, maxillofacial surgeon or a qualified plastic surgeon having specializations in rhinoplasty.
Rhinotip is the simplest of all rhinoplasty techniques. This is used to restructure and modify the tip of the nose. People may wish to reduce the size of the tip, enhance it or reposition it if it is a little bent, raised or twisted that appears to be a little undesired and odd. In most cases, rhinotip is a cosmetic procedure and does not have much to do with the functioning of the nose or the respiratory tract. It is usually offered in a private practice and under local anesthesia. No hospitalization is required and the procedure can be catered to in a matter of hours with no major downtime.
Rhinoplasty involves a more extensive surgery which can be restructuring the soft tissues, cartilage and the bridge of the nose or the entire shape. To offer this type of rhinoplasty most patients prefer to deal with a highly experienced plastic surgeon and rightly so since such extensive surgeries need to ensure that the functional attributes of the nose are not affected.
Septorhinoplasty is predominantly used in cases where people have breathing troubles or the nose acts as a hindrance to the respiratory tract. This type of rhinoplasty treatment involves modifying the septum.
Rhinoplasty reconstruction is used where a previous nose job yielded bad results or if someone has been injured in an accident. To offer this type of rhinoplasty plastic surgeons often use cartilage from the ear to partially or completely restructure the nose.
Often, more than one of the above techniques is used for a combined result.

As the name implies, this technique of breast augmentation at Portland clinics would require the surgeon to make an incision under the arm and the implants are placed below the muscles. The incision is made exactly where the chest meets the arms or otherwise known as the pit area. Like the first technique, the incision is so minimal that there are no scars or any other side effects.

Transumbilical Breast Augmentation Portland
This technique requires an incision at the navel. Unless you absolutely want to, this is not a very advisable technique simply because of the distance the implants need to be traversed for the placement. Risks are too high with this technique.
Periareolar Breast Augmentation Portland
This is one of the easiest breast augmentation techniques wherein the breast implants are placed making an incision in the areola region. A convenient technique for breast implants at Portland but with its share of risks unlike the first two.
