For Men

Today more men than ever are coming for cosmetic plastic surgery. Our society places a high value on looking young and fit. Today, men of all ages and all walks of life are requesting plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. The reasons for this are complex. It reflects an increased awareness of cosmetic surgery and a growth in decision making by men in health care issues. Men now take increasing responsibility for their own choices in health care and one aspect of this is the growth in male cosmetic surgery.

Another stimulus is the intense competition in the business world. There is often a perception, correct or not, that an older person is less up to date and efficient. In an effort to remain young looking, many men have turned to cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery in men uses many of the same procedures as in women. Men's goals tend to be toward acheiving facial harmony (through rhinoplasty or chin implantation) and facial rejuventation (to remove tiredness around the eyes or forehead). However, because of the structure of a man's body there are many technical differences. For example, the skin in men is thicker and in the facial area contains hair. This means the blood supply is greater. It is, therefore, important to chose a competent and well-trained facial plastic surgeon.

Brow Lift (Endoscopic / Minimally Invasive)
Frown lines can make you look tired, stressed, or angry, even if you are not. Heaviness in the brows may even make your eyes feel tired . This heaviness can even make it difficult to read or enjoy nighttime activities. A brow lift, or forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that smoothes out the forehead and lifts the heaviness away from the eyes, while reshaping the brow and upper eyelids. It may also reduce frown lines.


The brow lift procedure is one of the most rewarding for many patients since Dr. Pryor often performs the surgery endoscopically to minimize incisions and may combine the brow lift with blepharoplasty or traditional face lift procedures. A minimally invasive endoscopic brow lift can help erase frown lines with limited pain and recovery time.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid)
The skin around the eyes and eyelids is very delicate and shows signs of aging much sooner than skin in other areas of the face. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid plastic surgery, can help patients to correct drooping upper eyelids; under-eye bags can also be reduced and firmed up with eyelid plastic surgery. The eyes are probably a person's most expressive feature, and yet the effects of aging can sometimes make a person look tired or sad even when they are not. The result is a brighter, more refreshed appearance. To ensure a complete approach to facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty is sometimes combined with other facial surgery procedures such as a brow lift.

Facelift
Turning back the clock is something many people would like to do. A facelift is a surgical procedure that can help remove wrinkles and tighten sagging skin. And it is not just a procedure for women, as men can enjoy similar benefits!


A facelift is often performed in conjunction with other surgical and non-surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, neck lift, and brow lift to ensure a holistic approach to facial aesthetics. During the facelift procedure, the incisions are usually hidden within the hairline in order to hide scars and maintain a natural appearance. A facelift can be performed as an outpatient procedure and the patient should be able to return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Cheek Lift (Endoscopic / Minimally Invasive)
The middle of the face sometimes begins to crease and droop due to the effects of time, sun, stress, and gravity. A cheek lift can help restore a youthful contour and appearance to your face with a shorter recovery time than a full facelift. Using an endoscope, the procedure may be performed with minimal incisions, making recovery easier and decreasing chances of visible scarring.

Neck Lift
With age, the skin of the neck can sometimes wrinkle and sag. In men, central fullness under the chin can be a nagging problem and one that is very difficult to correct with diet and exercise. A neck lift is a surgical procedure that can tighten the skin of the neck and jowls. A neck lift is usually an outpatient procedure, and can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures such as a brow lift or rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
One of the top cosmetic procedures in the United States is rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is performed to reshape the nose. A rhinoplasty can alter the size, shape, bridge, tip, or nostrils of the nose thus enhancing the face and making the nose more proportionate.

A rhinoplasty can also be used to treat respiratory problems and help patient's regain the ability to breathe through the nose thus increasing endurance, energy levels and vitality. Rhinoplasty may be performed without external incisions to optimize healing and camoflaouge surgical technique.

Chin implantation
The relationship between the chin and nose is an important feature of facial esthetic beauty. By optimizing the balance between the nose and chin, facial harmony may be achieved. Facial implants can augment a weak chin and enhance cheekbones, creating a more contoured and pleasing face. Implantation may be performed through an external incision with a silastic implant or by bony osteotomy and moving the chin forward and fixating it with screws and plates. Both are options individualized to the patient.

Men can benefit from this procedure and obtain that strong chin they’ve always wanted! Call Dr. Pryor today for a consultation.

Otoplasty (Protruding Ears)

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure that is used to improve the appearance of large or protruding ears. Many people, especially children, can suffer from low self-esteem and decreased confidence if they feel that their ears are too large. Otoplasty can resize the ears, making them smaller and setting them back closer to the head. The procedure can improve both appearance and self-confidence. Otoplasty is most commonly performed on children and teens, but it cannot be performed on children under the age of five because their ears are still growing. Older patients can benefit from otoplasty as well.

Reconstructive Surgery
Scar Revision
Facial scars cannot be removed completely but their appearance can be made less noticeable and more easily camouflaged with cosmetics. Many factors determine the severity of a scar, including the depth or size of a wound, skin tone, and the blood supply to the affected area. Though a surgeon cannot completely eliminate a scar, the appearance of a scar can be significantly improved. Scar revision is a surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of scars that do not respond to cortisone drugs, steroids, or skin gels. Several techniques are available including excision, dermabrasion, and laser treatment.

Facial Paralysis Treatment
When trauma, infection, surgery or a number of other causes injures the facial nerve, the entire side of the face can droop and become immobile. The eyelids do not close with blinking, and the eye is subject to drying and severe corneal injury. There are a number of methods to improve this condition. Dr. Pryor can discuss the various options available for rehabilitation of the eye and face during your consultation visit.

BOTOX® Injections


Regardless of the steps taken to preserve youthful-looking skin, it is inevitable that wrinkles and lines will eventually develop.

Patients who come into our office for BOTOX® Cosmetic can achieve improvement in frown lines between the eyes and on the forehead, as well as crow’s feet and wrinkles at the base of the nose. BOTOX® Cosmetic has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration since 2002 for the safe and effective reduction of facial wrinkles.

How BOTOX® Cosmetic Works
Every time a person frowns, smiles, or squints, facial muscles contract and move the skin. Over time, these repeated movements cause permanent wrinkles in the skin. To reduce these wrinkles, Dr. Pryor uses a very small needle to inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the muscles involved in the wrinkling. BOTOX® Cosmetic causes these muscles to relax, thereby softening or eliminating the frown lines. Dr. Pryor administers BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments right at his Scottsdale office; total treatment time is usually 10 to 15 minutes.

After a BOTOX® injection, patients may immediately return to their normal activities. They will start to see the amazing effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic within a few days, and continue to enjoy their results for three to five months before further treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic is necessary.

BOTOX® injections are the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. Approved by the FDA for cosmetic use, BOTOX® injections smooth wrinkles by relaxing the muscles of the face. This treatment provides fast results to achieve a rested and refreshed look with no downtime.
