Men: The New Face of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Meet the new face of plastic surgery. It goes by names like Greg and Kyle, two patients of Dr. Paul Parker, of the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery in Paramus, N.J. “I was overweight for years. I got myself back to peak physical form, but no matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I just could not get rid of the fat deposits on my chest,” said Greg, 53, who, for as unashamed as he says he is about getting a breast reduction, asks that we keep his last name private.
Hoboken, N.J., resident Kyle Brister, 26, was in a similar situation — except his primary problem was his stomach. “I went from 310 pounds to 185 through diet and exercise and had excess skin around my abdominal area,” he said. He has no regrets about having a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty. “It’s not cheap. The recovery wasn’t easy. But the benefits outweigh the cost.”
Breast reductions, tummy tucks, liposuctions, enlarging of the male chest, eye jobs, nose jobs, facelifts … they’re all becoming more and more popular among the male patient population, say experts in the plastic surgery field.
