male cosmetic surgery

Patients who desire a change in their appearance that cannot be accomplished through lifestyle changes may be good candidates for male cosmetic surgery with Dr. Roostaeian. A consultation with Dr. Jason is the best way to determine whether natural looking male cosmetic surgery is right for you.

In addition, Dr. Jason will only perform liposuction on patients who meet the following criteria:

• Are in good health
• Do not smoke
• Are able to avoid any blood-thinning medications for several weeks
• Have been cleared for surgery by a primary care physician
• Have reasonable expectations and aesthetic goals

When searching for the best plastic surgeon to perform your male cosmetic surgery, Dr. Roostaeian advises you to consider several key factors:

1. Credentials and Certifications: Research your prospective plastic surgeon online – not just on their website, but on industry credentialing sites such as www.surgery.org, which lists board certified plastic surgeons. Do not choose a cosmetic surgeon who is a member of the ABCS – they do not receive the extensive training and oversight that plastic surgeons do. Look for plastic/cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Roostaeian, who are ABPS and ASAPS members.
2. Before and After Photos: The doctor you choose to perform your male cosmetic surgery should be happy to show you an extensive array of standardized before and after photographs. Scrutinize them carefully, making sure the lighting is consistent and the various views are shown with detail. View enough male cosmetic surgery pictures to determine whether or not the work is of high quality, with an aesthetic that matches your personal goals. Dr. Jason strives to provide patients with the highest quality of standardized male cosmetic surgery photographs so you can feel confident in your choice.

3. Office and Surgery Facility: Before choosing an aesthetic surgeon to perform your male cosmetic surgery, closely evaluate the office staff, as well as the surgery facility. All of the staff should be helpful and friendly, and pleased to provide you with detailed information about their operating rooms and equipment. Dr. Jason and his staff are proud to be affiliated with UCLA, world renowned for state-of-the-art surgical facilities and patient care. Click to learn more about our top-ranked hospital.[LINK]

Male cosmetic surgery costs vary considerably from patient to patient. The exact cost of your cosmetic surgery will depend on the complexity of your procedure, and whether or not you plan to combine your surgery with other procedures. You will receive a written quote following your consultation.

Yes, Dr. Jason Roostaeian often combines male cosmetic surgery procedures into one at UCLA. Commonly combined male cosmetic surgery procedures include facial rejuvenation, including facelift, neck lift, brow lift and/or eye lid surgery (blepharoplasty); and body contouring, including a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction of the flanks (love handles).

When preparing for a male cosmetic surgery procedure, follow all instructions issued by Dr. Roostaeian, his office, and the staff at the UCLA Surgery Center. These guidelines include, but are not limited to:

• No food or drink prior to surgery
• Shower/cleanse the area prior to coming in for surgery
• Avoid certain drugs and supplements before and after surgery
• Arrange transportation
• Ensure you will have help around the house for the first few days
• Obtain prescription and non-prescription medications ahead of time, including pain meds
• Choose to wear loose, comfortable clothing
• Plan out sleeping and resting arrangements (Which side of the bed is easiest to navigate to/from? Do I have enough pillows to make sleep/rest comfortable?)
• Have frequently used items handy – you won’t be able to lift or strain right away

Depending upon your procedure, you’ll typically see the final results of your natural looking male cosmetic surgery after six weeks to three months, when all swelling has subsided. Male rhinoplasty results take a bit longer, with final results apparent by one year.

For male cosmetic surgery scars to fully mature, however, it takes at least 6 months to a year. Over this time you will see your scars become barely visible, they will lighten in color and become softer to the touch.

After a natural looking male cosmetic procedure with Dr. Jason Roostaeian, the majority of the swelling will likely subside within a week while some mild swelling may persist for a few more weeks. Within one week after surgery you will visit Dr. Jason as a follow up so he can check on your healing and answer any questions.

Your incisions will be healed and you can return to most activities by 6 weeks. Full activities such as strenuous workouts, running, etc. is best to wait until 3 months, when your scars have achieved full strength. Over the next six months, you will see your scars become barely visible, they will lighten in color and become softer to the touch.

For the first 2 weeks following natural looking male cosmetic surgery with Dr. Roostaeian, you want to avoid straining (lifting anything more than 5 lbs), or getting your heart rate/blood pressure up as this can lead to bleeding. After 2-3 weeks you should avoid mechanical forces that will stress or put tension on your healing incisions for 3 months. This means you should avoid high impact activities that lead to excessive movement of your body, such a running.  Listen to what your body is telling you at all times, for instance stop the workout if you experience any new discomfort. Remember, getting plenty of rest and reducing your overall activity will give you time to heal and speed up your recovery.

When you can return to work after male cosmetic surgery with Dr. Jason really depends on how much was removed and what you do for work. If a minimal amount is removed and you have a desk job you can typically return to work within a few days or a weekend. If your profession is more physically demanding, Dr. Jason recommends to wait at least 1 week before returning to work. Remember, you do not want to strain or lift anything that weighs more than ten pounds for the first 2 weeks.

For natural looking male facial rejuvenation procedures, Dr. Jason typically expects results to last anywhere between 10 – 20 years. We simply cannot stop the effects of aging and gravity – but we can slow it down considerably.

Male body contouring patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle will enjoy the result of their cosmetic surgery procedure with Dr. Jason for decades. Significant increases in weight, however, may change the appearance of your result.
