Columbus Plastic Surgery for Men
Male Cosmetic Procedures at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is not just something for women, and that has never been more true than today. Studies have shown more and more men are seeking various procedures to look and feel better. And many are also seeking the help of a cosmetic surgeon and/or medical spa professional to feel more confident among their younger peers in the workplace.
Many of the procedures are popular among both genders, such as blepharoplasty, facelift, brow lift, Botox, rhinoplasty, tummy tucks, and liposuction.
However, there are some procedures specifically tailored to the needs of the modern man.
For example, men with the condition known as gynecomastia which causes the breast tissue in men to overdevelop, often seek to correct this condition through male breast reduction surgery. Other male-centric procedures include pectoral implants, abdominal etching, and laser hair removal for chest, back, and face. Many men with weak chins consider chin implants for a stronger, more defined look.
Skin Care for Men is also a growing trend. With skin cancers on rise, they are utilizing daily facial sun protection more and more. Men also have the found the medical spa facial treatments that target acne, fine lines, ingrown hairs and dry skin to be especially beneficial.

French PIP Breast Implant Recall
Breast Implant Safety at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery
You may have heard about the breast implant recall in France in the news. We want to provide additional information to our Columbus Area patients about the European recall happening with the overseas PIP silicone implants. Additionally, we wanted to reiterate the proven safety record of our US manufactured breast implants from Mentor used at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery
At Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we have only used Mentor Brand silicone implants which are manufactured in the United States and have an excellent track record of being completely safe and durable. Mentor is a Johnson & Johnson owned company. Mentor silicone implants have been extensively studied for years, reviewed and approved for use by numerous health and safety agencies, including the FDA. Based on their impeccable record, they are the only implant we choose to use at our Columbus, Ohio plastic surgery practice.
The PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) implants that are being recalled were manufactured and sold in Europe (mainly France) and were never approved by the FDA , or for use in the United States. However various European agencies are recommending to anyone who has had these implants overseas must get them removed even with no signs of rupture. The implants are being recalled because they were filled with industry grade silicone, rather than medical grade, and because they have a higher than acceptable rupture rate.
This recall serves as an important reminder of why it’s vital to partner with a board certified Columbus plastic surgeon you can trust and to make informed decisions regarding surgery.
Columbus Gynecomastia Treatment
Overdeveloped breasts in men, known as Gynecomastia, is a very common condition that usually, in most cases, is outgrown. However, for some men, it can stay with them for the rest of their life. This condition can be a sore source of teasing and insecurities. For these men Male Breast Reduction surgery may be the only way to achieve the chest they want. In a Male Breast Reduction procedure there is a small incision made around the areola and excess grandular tissue and skin is excised. Liposuction can also be used to remove any excess fatty tissues in the male breasts, or in other areas of the body.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping or “Nose Job”) at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery
If you have difficulty breathing due to nasal structural abnormalities or are unhappy with the size or shape of your nose, you may be considering Rhinoplasty, also known as Nose Reshaping or “Nose Job”.
An ‘open’ Rhinoplasty is a procedure in which the lower, under area of the nose is cut opened and the cartilage is re-adjusted, cut smaller, re-shaped, or re-structured to create the aesthetic or functionary goals you desire. ’Closed’ Rhinoplasty means that all of the incisions are inside of the nostril
Rhinoplasty, along with Breast Augmentation and Liposuction, is one of the most popular Plastic Surgery procedures today. A simple Google search for Rhinoplasty yields seemingly limitless amounts of before and after photos of regular people and celebrities alike.

Tummy Tuck Columbus – Get rid of that extra bulge this new year
Tummy Tuck at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery
As we approach the new year with our resolutions and reflect on our lifestyle habits over the past 6 months, it isn’t unusual to look at our bodies with a desire to make a significant change.
There are many factors which can lead to a person becoming dissatisfied with their mid-section. For example, the effects of weight loss, pregnancy, genetics, and aging can all wreak their havoc on the abdominal region, even the abdominal muscles themselves. Having loose or separated abdominal muscles creates a distended abdomen that can not be improved through diet or exercise alone. The same thing applies to having loose, hanging skin due to the after effects of dramatic weight loss or pregnancies. The Board Certified Surgeons at Columbus Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery have helped many people improve their mid-section through Columbus Abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty, also known as a Tummy Tuck, is a procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles. There are a few different types of Tummy Tucks, including a Mini-Tummy Tuck, depending on the amount of correction that needs to be done, all unique to your individual needs. In some cases, Liposuction may be performed in conjunction with an Abdominoplasty for optimum results.
To find out if Abdominoplasty is right for you, contact our office today to schedule your personal consultation with Columbus Plastic Surgeons Dr. Treece, Dr. Vasko, Dr. Heck or Dr. Wakelin. Plastic Surgery Financing is available, see if you qualify today.
