Men’s Plastic Surgery
Boca Raton, FL
Training can build muscle, reduce body fat, and change the way you carry yourself. It cannot remove firm glandular tissue from the chest, tighten skin left after major weight loss, or correct the structure of the nose or chin. These are some of the concerns that bring men to plastic surgery. In Boca Raton, Dr. Landon Pryor identifies the tissue or structure involved and recommends a focused procedure designed to fit your frame, features, and goals.

Men’s plastic surgery covers both cosmetic and functional procedures for the face, chest, and body. Men often have thicker facial skin, different fat distribution, and facial hair that can affect where incisions are made. Dr. Pryor takes these factors into account and plans each procedure to fit your unique features and proportions.
Men seek plastic surgery for concerns like:
Facial plastic surgery can help with signs of aging, features you were born with, or injuries that changed your appearance or breathing. Dr. Pryor considers how your nose, eyes, chin, jawline, and neck all work together before suggesting any surgery.
Rhinoplasty can reshape the bridge or tip of your nose, straighten a crooked nose, fix damage from injuries, or help you breathe better. Dr. Pryor looks at how your nose fits with your chin, forehead, and overall profile to make sure the result looks natural.
Heavy upper eyelids and under-eye bags can make you look tired, even if you feel well-rested. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes or moves extra skin and fat but keeps the natural look of your eyes. For some, upper eyelid surgery can also help with vision if loose skin blocks your sight.
A facelift can help with jowling and sagging in the lower face. A neck lift targets loose skin, deeper neck bands, and a less defined jawline. If both areas need improvement, treating them together can give a smoother result. Incisions are carefully placed around the ears, sideburns, beard, and hairline.
Fullness under the chin doesn’t always mean you need a neck lift. If your skin is firm and the main problem is extra fat, chin liposuction might be enough. If your chin is set back or not lined up well, genioplasty can move the chin bone. Otoplasty can adjust ears that stick out or are uneven. For some patients, a brow lift or facial fat transfer may also be helpful.
Men’s body contouring removes stubborn fat or extra skin that remains even with a healthy lifestyle. It works best if your weight is steady and you know what surgery can and can’t do. Body contouring can show off your natural shape, but it won’t build muscle or replace diet and exercise.
Liposuction is often used on the abdomen, love handles, back, chest, or under the chin. It permanently removes fat cells from those areas, but the remaining cells can still grow if you gain weight. Dr. Pryor works with your natural body shape and avoids creating definition that your body can’t support.
Liposuction won’t fix loose folds of skin on the abdomen. In that case, a tummy tuck may be better since it removes extra skin and can tighten weak abdominal tissue. If you have loose skin in several areas, you might need more extensive surgery. An arm lift or thigh lift can also help if weight loss has left hanging skin beyond your torso.
Gynecomastia can start during puberty or show up later in life. Hormones, genetics, weight changes, medications, health issues, testosterone, and anabolic steroids can all be factors. Since it can involve different types of tissue, the best treatment depends on what Dr. Pryor finds during your exam.
Chest fullness can look the same on the outside but come from different types of tissue. True gynecomastia has firm glandular tissue under the nipple and areola, while pseudogynecomastia is mostly extra fat. Many men have both, and some also have loose skin. Weight loss can reduce fat, but it won’t remove glandular breast tissue.
If fat is part of the problem, gynecomastia surgery may use liposuction. Firm glandular tissue usually needs to be removed directly with an incision near the areola. Some patients need both methods, and more severe cases may also need skin removal. If you have sudden, painful, one-sided, or unusual breast enlargement, get a medical check before considering cosmetic surgery.
Depending on the procedure, surgery may:
Good candidates are healthy enough for surgery, know what to expect with scars and recovery, and have realistic goals for what the procedure can do. Having a steady weight is especially important before liposuction or skin removal. Nicotine, some medications, and uncontrolled health problems can increase the risk of complications. Dr. Pryor may recommend a medical check or waiting for a better time.
You don’t need to know the name of the procedure before your consultation. Dr. Pryor will review your health, medications, supplements, hormone use, past surgeries, and your goals. He’ll then check if your concern is related to skin, fat, muscle, bone, cartilage, or glandular tissue and explain the options that fit your needs.
Some procedures can be done together. For example, gynecomastia surgery can be combined with abdominal liposuction, and a facelift often goes well with a neck lift. Since combining surgeries can make recovery harder, Dr. Pryor may suggest doing them in stages for safety.
Recovery is different for each procedure. Facial surgery can cause swelling and bruising you can see, while chest and body surgeries often need compression garments. Many people go back to desk jobs in one to two weeks, but just because you feel ready doesn’t mean your body is fully healed. Physical jobs, lifting, gym workouts, and contact sports usually need more time off.
Where scars are placed depends on the type of surgery. Facial incisions are planned with your hairline and beard in mind. Gynecomastia scars may follow the edge of the areola, and body-contouring scars depend on how much skin is removed. Following Dr. Pryor’s instructions and coming to follow-up visits helps you heal well.
Possible risks include bleeding, infection, fluid buildup, scarring, slow healing, changes in feeling, uneven results, blood clots, anesthesia problems, and sometimes needing more surgery. The exact risks depend on the procedure, your health, and if you’re having more than one area treated.
You might notice improvement soon after surgery, but swelling can hide the final results at first. Your facial features and body shape will become clearer over the next few months. Keeping your weight steady helps maintain your results, but aging and weight changes will still affect your appearance over time.
