3 ways to make men look fantastic

If you’re a man or you know a man who may be interested in looking more athletic, chiselled and looking fresher and younger then read on as I describe the top three ways I use dermal fillers to help men look fantastic when they attend me at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic, Dublin.

So what are fillers?

Fillers are naturally occurring substances that are injected to help reshape the face without the need for surgery. Popular hyaluronic acid dermal fillers include Restylane, Juvéderm and Belotero. Long lasting dermal fillers include Radiesse and Ellansé.

STRONG CHIN

One of the key areas in treating men is the chin. Strong chins are synonymous with strength and confidence. We look to see strong chins in leaders in politics and in business. Examples can be seen in athletes and hero’s we admire. In Hollywood a strong chin can mean the difference between a supporting actor and a leading man. Fillers can be used to add one or two centimetres of projection to the chin. Guys’, adding one or two centimetre projection to your chin is like adding one or two inches to your height. Chin can make you look more athletic, can give you more of an alpha male appearance and it can make you look more chiselled.

UNDEREYE

The second great place to treat me with fillers is under the eyes. Fillers are fantastic in removing dark circles and bags and this can make us fresher and more youthful without the need for surgery. People who have dark circles and pigmentation under the eye are helped with fillers camouflage and restore fullness in the area making them look fresher and more youthful.

MASCULINISATION

The third treatment that’s great with fillers in men is full face masculinisation treatment. In this masculinisation treatment often small changes to key areas of the male face making the entire face looking more balanced, proportioned and better. In masculinisation treatment of the full face I target the undereyes, nose, cheeks and chin. The treatments are administered over a number of sessions and small changes can often make great impact.

So in summary, fillers can be used in men to non-surgically augment the chin making it more chiselled more athletic. They can be used to hide circles under the eyes making men look fresher and younger. Finally they could be used for full face masculinisation treatment making the face look more symmetric, more balanced and more attractive in general. I hope this blog was helpful and I look forward to welcoming you in our practice.

Male Breast Reduction

Male breast reduction is a very common cosmetic surgery with few risks. The procedure is typically used to help men with gynecomastia/gynaecomastia, a condition characterized by excess mammary tissue, or pseudogynecomastia which is a mixture of fatty and breast tissue. More and more men are visiting Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic to undergo breast reduction and create a more athletic and enhanced physique. This man boobs busting procedure has helped many men throughout Ireland and the UK feel better about their appearance. The clinic identified the need for men to address this cumbersome problem and helped improved the lives of gynaecomastia patients in Irish nationwide.

You’re in good hands

You are not alone. Up to 7% of men have the condition. Men from across the island of Ireland have gained lifestyle and confidence benefits of our gynecomastia treatments at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin. To see how other patients have succeeded in reducing the dreaded man boobs with this permanent reduction procedure, please inspect our gallery at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic male breast reduction page with sample before and after pictures.

Your step by step guide

First step is to identify with your problem having enlarged chest area. The problem is called gynaecomastia or man boobs. Gynecomastia can happen to men of any age, but 40% of cases start in adolescence. Medical literature reports suggest as many as 65 percent of teenage boys have gynecomastia, and in the vast majority of these teenage boys, the condition simply goes away on its own by the time they’re 18. The remaining 6 to 7 percent will continue to suffer this lifelong anomaly. There are men who begin to develop the enlarged breasts problem at older age, which can cause discomfort and poor self image. I see men resorting to baggy clothes, dark rooms and shying away from swimming. If you are a man who identifies with these concerns or struggles with more than usually large breasts, then male breast reduction at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin could be a good choice for you.

Step two is to seek advice and professional opinion. You need to book a consultation with me at the clinic by either calling the clinic (01-8278766) or emailing me in confidence drk@castleknockcosmetics.ie. I have been seeing men with gynaecomastia since 1999 and I’m a member of BABS (British Association of Body Sculpting) and BCAM. During your initial consultation the extent of the condition is identified. I will guide you through the various options of treatment available. These include surgical resection, fat freezing or VASER lipo. Every patient is different and while one option could be ideal for one man, it could be the wrong choice for another!

Third step is to get the procedure. Male breast reduction is an outpatient procedure normally done pain free under numbing anesthesia. It typically takes a couple of hours to perform. At your initial gynecomastia consultation in Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin, I would have examine how much fat, glandular material and excess skin are present.

The most modern and effective procedure for managing man boobs either gynaecomastia or pseudogynaecomastia is VASER Lipo. The procedure painlessly breaks down the targeted tissue when a VASER probe is inserted under the skin through small 3mm incision. The man boobs tissue is then simply suctioned out leaving an even and sculpted contour.

How about the recovery?

Recovery after the procedure will involve some bruising and tenderness but will subside over the next few days. Swelling will happen. You will usually wear a snug fitting compression garment around the chest for the first three to four weeks. The compression garment will help the swelling go down and accelerate healing. Most of our male breast reduction patients in Dublin return to work within three days after surgery. No sutures are used as the small 2-3mm skin openings heal quickly. You are then reviewed a few days later and if all is well you should return to physical activities a week later. In certain cases I would recommend manual lymphatic drainage massage to help accelerate the recovery process. Although visible reduction will be noted a week later, total recovery from all the swelling can take a few months.

Final results?

The results of your male breast reduction with VASER are permanent, although you are subject to changes in appearance if your weight fluctuates. Scarring is minimal and will fade with time. Once those man boobs are gone, they are usually gone for good.

The best treatment to eliminate gynecomastia is VASER lipo. The skilled, kind staff at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin understands how important it is for our male breast reduction patients to feel good about their bodies. Your interactions with us are confidential, private and discreetly carried out. We are pleased to offer our surgical expertise to gynecomastia patients throughout our extended community, which includes Dublin, Irish nationwide counties, Northern Ireland and the UK. Please feel free to set up an appointment with me to explore your options for male breast reduction by calling the clinic (01-8278766) or email me directly drk@castleknockcosmetics.ie

Men having liposuction continues to be on the rise. In the past cosmetic surgery for men was considered a cliché. Real me didn’t do it. Stop. There has been major change to men’s attitude in my years of practice. More men have come to accept and indeed embrace the benefits of cosmetic procedures. Over the last ten years liposuction with VASER has been a popular method for men to deal with love handles, man boobs and irregular physique. No wonder liposuction is the number one cosmetic procedure requested by men.

As men attitudes change, older men are competing with millennials who are rapidly becoming the majority in the workplace. Men are finding it essential to look their best, healthy and fit. In the job market, the better you look the greater your chances to succeed. Modern liposuction like VASER which is less invasive can help a man to achieve an appearance that closely matches the masculine ideal of sculpted fit physique. It is fact of nature that even a very fit man in his forties, most likely in his endurance prime (life starts at 40. Right?) Simply won’t have the muscle definition that he did when in his twenties.

Best candidates for VASER lipo are those who want to get rid of superficial fat that is exercise and diet resistant. The best results are achieved when your skin is fairly elastic and you’re as near your ideal weight as possible.

We live in a culture where youth and beauty are prized, even for men.
Over the few years, there’s been a large increase is men’s aesthetic procedures. It’s a very big misconception that all patients are women when in fact 1 in 8 patients seeking cosmetic procedures are male.
International trends match what we see with our patient audit at Castleknock Cosmetic Clinic Dublin.

According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of cosmetic procedures for men has increased by more than 126% between 1999 and 2014.

Men want cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures for two reasons: to look good and stay competitive in the job market. Men get surgery as a key tool to help them succeed. In a work competitive place where looking fit, younger, and more masculine is imperative, the better you look, the better your chances of ascending the corporate ladder.

Helping men advance in their careers is a powerful tool, and we mainly offer male procedures this way. On our all-male cosmetic procedures for men section of our website “For Men” we outlines four “types” of men that we feel typically come in for procedures, and the best procedures for them.

The first type identified is the “male model,” who he says wants jawline augmentation, VASER liposuction to show off his slim midriff and gluteal buttock enhancement. This guy wants a sharper chin definition, and nice abs — really ripped and very defined abs. You take an average, good-looking man, and you enhance his jawline, elongate his chin, enhance his cheekbones, and suddenly he looks like the cover of Vogue.

Then there’s the “body builder,” who has similar procedures as the male model, but wants to look more muscular. A body builder want to go big. Big chest, big glutes, but muscularly defined. They also have some of that fatty tissue around the breasts from steroids that we often remove as well; in a process known as Gynecomastia and man boobs.

The third type of man is identified as getting cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures to enhance their career was the CEO or board member. These men are at the top of their career and they feel young and confident, but they’re worried they don’t look it. I tell these men I want to leave a little bit of wrinkles, since wrinkles are sexy and trustworthy — and give them what I call the Mini Facelift and the Softlift. We emphasise on more neck firmness, eyebrow lift, jawline definition, and perhaps VASER liposuction as well.

The only category that doesn’t specifically reference a career is the athletic dad. As a play on the (mommy makeovers) we now we have ‘daddy do-overs. This is what the banker wants. He’s married with kids, probably put on 15 pounds. He’s in his 40s and he’s thinking, ‘Man, I used to look so good in college. These men typically go for jawline definition, liposuction, and a small botox injections.
Currently, the most common cosmetic procedures for men are liposuction, nose job, eyelid surgery, man boob and jawline definition.
