Surgery for Men in Beverly Hills
While some people associate cosmetic treatments with female patients, the number of men delving into plastic surgery continues to rise. Not only can men enjoy the physical benefits of a newly sculpted and refreshed aesthetic, but they can also experience an increase in their self-confidence and an improved overall quality of life. Some of the leading surgical procedures for men are rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, eyelid surgery, liposuction, and gynecomastia surgery. Dr. Chiu performs these procedures with the necessary skill and understanding of the anatomical differences between the male and female forms, delivering outstanding results.
Benefits Surgery for Men
Chiseled Contours
Many men desire a slender figure but have been unable to achieve their objectives with diet and exercise alone. Aging may also compromise their facial contours, producing a displeasing aesthetic. Men who opt for body contouring and facial rejuvenation procedures tailored to their specific needs can enjoy the chiseled contours of their dreams.
Masculine Physique
Having excess body fat or sagging skin can compromise a man’s sculpted and rugged features. Dr. Chiu performs surgeries for men that can emphasize their masculine physique by addressing their cosmetic concerns while preserving their attractive male qualities.
A Youthful Appearance
Another benefit of surgery for men is that they can pinpoint problem areas and restore them to a more youthful appearance. Facial treatments, such as facelift and eyelid surgery, eliminate signs of aging to rejuvenate the face.
Body procedures can revitalize a man’s body contours, producing a slim and fit form.
Your Surgical Options for Men
The first step to any surgical procedure is the private consultation. During this appointment, you can discuss your concerns and medical history with Dr. Chiu while he carefully examines the desired areas of correction. By combining his analysis with your cosmetic goals, Dr. Chiu will develop a customized surgical plan that will help you reach your objectives.
Eyelid Surgery
Patients with sagging or puffy eyelids can benefit from eyelid surgery. Eyelid surgery is designed to rejuvenate the eyes and can be performed in one of two ways:
Upper eyelid surgery involves removing excess eyelid skin and repositioning fat through an inconspicuous incision in the natural creases.
Lower eyelid surgery involves the excision of excess tissue through an incision created below the lower lash line. If a patient has puffiness and minimal skin laxity, an incision-free technique may be performed on the inside of the eyelids.
Facelift Surgery
Those who wish to minimize visible signs of aging in the lower face may want to consider undergoing facelift surgery. This procedure can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, enhance jawline definition, and tighten underlying facial muscles for a more youthful and attractive aesthetic.
A mini facelift is appropriate for patients who require minimal correction to the lower face.
Patients with compound concerns may be ideal candidates for a full facelift, which targets imperfections in the mid and lower face.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is designed to correct nasal imperfections to improve the aesthetic quality and functionality of the nose. This procedure can address the nasal bridge, tip, and profile to sculpt the nose and restore harmony between the facial features. Depending on a patient’s unique needs, Dr. Chiu can perform one of several rhinoplasty techniques, such as:
- Closed rhinoplasty
- Open rhinoplasty
- Revision rhinoplasty
- Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localized pockets of fat to enhance body contours. A thin, hollow tube (cannula) is inserted into the target area to remove fat using suction. Dr. Chiu will determine which of the following liposuction techniques is the most appropriate for you:
- Power-assisted
- Ultrasound-assisted
- Laser-assisted
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery creates a more masculine body shape and restores the male chest by removing excess breast tissue. Utilizing various cosmetic techniques, Dr. Chiu can improve symmetry and enhance the contours of the chest. Reducing enlarged breasts allows male patients to obtain the physique they desire, resulting in a more positive and confident body image.
Recovery for Surgery for Men
The recovery timeline can vary for each patient, varying with factors like age, natural recovery speed, and complexity of the surgery. Dr. Chiu will provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation based on these factors. However, a general outline can include:
Immediately After
Some discomfort can be expected after any surgery. The amount of bruising and swelling a patient experiences depends on the procedures and techniques included in their treatment plan. Pain can be controlled with medication as prescribed by Dr. Chiu.
1 Week
Patients are usually able to return to work and their normal routine, but physical activity may still be limited for some time. It is essential to follow all of the recommended aftercare instructions, as they detail the limitations of each unique procedure.
2 to 3 Weeks
Light activities may be resumed unless Dr. Chiu makes other recommendations. Patients who choose to undergo body procedures may need to avoid certain exercises and overexertion during this time.
4 to 6 Weeks
Most patients are free to resume all of their normal activities unless stated otherwise by Dr. Chiu. As the body becomes accustomed to its new modifications, results should continue to improve over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prepare for my procedure?
During your consultation with Dr. Chiu, you will be provided with specific instructions for how to prepare for your procedure. Following these directions can ensure that you have the most comfortable recovery and ideal results from your surgery. Generally, patients are advised to:
- Quit using tobacco products for at least six weeks before surgery
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medication or supplements for several weeks before surgery
- Complete all required lab work prior to the procedure
What type of anesthesia is used during surgery for men?
The type of anesthesia that is used will depend on the procedure or procedures being performed. When using general anesthesia, Dr. Chiu will work with the patient under the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure their safety.
Does insurance cover the cost of my procedure?
Because cosmetic surgeries are considered elective procedures, they are not usually covered by insurance. However, all insurance policies are different, and yours may cover your treatment if it is correcting a medical condition. Dr. Chiu can determine whether your insurance will finance your surgery during your consultation.
Will I have scars following my procedure?
The degree of scarring varies depending on which procedures you decide to undergo. Whenever possible, Dr. Chiu places all incisions in inconspicuous locations and utilizes precise techniques to avoid visible scarring.
