Plastic Surgery for Men in Manhattan, NYC
Have you resolved to lose weight again? Despite all your willpower and determination, you may not be seeing the results you’d hoped for. Fat can be stubborn and cling in unwanted places, including the all too infamous “beer gut.” The good news is that board-certified Manhattan plastic surgeon and general surgeon Richard W. Swift, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S. performs body procedures for men that can help eliminate unwanted fat and tone the skin.

What Are Body Procedures for Men?
Body procedures may involve the use of liposuction (using small tubes called cannula and lasers to liquefy and remove fat), or it may involve removing excess saggy skin to tighten and tone the body cosmetically. Certain body procedures, including thigh lifts and arm lifts, help reduce sagging, droopy skin and give you a more toned, proportionate physique.

Benefits of Body Procedures for Men
Body contouring can give you the look you’ve always wanted! Many of our patients report that as a result of body contouring, they feel the following benefits:

• Higher self-esteem and self-confidence
• An improved self-image
• Less social awkwardness or embarrassment because of their body

Body Procedures for Men Before and After
We invite you to browse our extensive catalog of cosmetic surgeries and treatments to see the types of results Dr. Swift has obtained for his patients. Keep in mind that each individual is different and that you’ll learn more about the outcome you can expect from your specific surgery or treatment at your consultation with Dr. Swift.

How Are Body Procedures for Men Performed?
The procedure depends on what part of the body is being treated and, in the case of treatments such as Botox® injections, the number of treatments necessary to help you get the look you want. For example, liposuction and fat transfer involve the heat treatment and suctioning of fat and, optionally, its transfer to another part of the body where it is desired. Other treatments, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery, involve the use of strategic incisions to help lift the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Preparing for Male Body Contouring
Because men have unique physiology and no two people are created alike, you have individual goals and desired outcomes for your male body contouring surgery. You’ll want to take various procedural steps to experience the best possible results from your contouring surgery. Full details on pre-operative preparation will be made available to you at your initial consultation.

Body Contouring Recovery
The recovery for your particular body contouring surgery will depend on the surgery or treatment you undergo, as well as any adverse health risks (such as smoking or drinking) that may impair healing. For example, if you undergo liposuction or a lift in different areas, you may be asked to wear a compression garment to help the skin adjust to its new shape. You may also be restricted from certain activities such as sports, vigorous exercise, or heavy lifting. More information about the specific steps needed for recovery will be given to you at your consultation.

Is Body Contouring Right for Me?
If you’ve suffered with clingy fat or stubborn flabby skin or would like to have more volume in different areas such as hollowed cheeks or lips, body contouring may be right for you. Dr. Swift can properly evaluate you as a body contouring candidate, so contact our Manhattan office today to learn more.

How Much Does Body Contouring Cost?
Costs for your body contouring treatment will vary depending on the extent of surgery or the number of treatments needed to achieve your desired result. Most insurance plans do not cover plastic surgery or specific cosmetic treatments. Dr. Swift accepts payment via cash, check, or credit card, as well as Alphaeon Healthcare Lending as a financing option.
