Procedures for Men at Hygeia Plastic Surgery

Gynecomastia Surgery

Gynecomastia is one of the most common male cosmetic concerns: a fuller or “puffy” chest caused by glandular tissue, fat, or both. Surgery reshapes the chest by removing excess tissue, often combining gland excision with liposuction for a flatter, firmer look. Results can be dramatic, especially in fitted clothing and on the beach, and the goal is always a natural male chest contour rather than an over-corrected appearance.

Liposuction for Men

Male liposuction targets areas that resist diet and training—typically the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), chest, and sometimes the neck or jawline. It’s a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method, and it works best when you’re close to your goal weight. Done well, liposuction creates cleaner lines and better definition without looking unnatural.

Abdominoplasty for Men (Tummy Tuck)

When weight loss or aging leaves stretched skin and weakened abdominal support, a tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall. Men usually want a flatter, stronger-looking midsection and a waistline that looks athletic, not “pulled.” This procedure is especially helpful if loose skin is the main issue and liposuction alone won’t fix it.

Abdominal Etching

Abdominal etching is a specialized form of liposculpture designed to enhance definition—creating the appearance of visible “abs” by shaping fat around natural muscle lines. It’s not a shortcut to fitness, but for the right candidate (lean with good muscle base), it can sharpen the athletic look and improve abdominal detail.

Pectoral Implants

For men who struggle to build chest volume despite training—or who want a stronger, broader chest shape—pectoral implants can create more projection and definition. The key is proportion: implants should match your frame and shoulders to avoid an artificial look.

BBL for Men

A male BBL reshapes the buttocks using your own fat, improving projection and contour while keeping results masculine and balanced. The goal is usually a stronger, more athletic silhouette rather than exaggerated volume. It’s often combined with liposuction of the waist or lower back to enhance shape.

Blepharoplasty for Men (Eyelid Surgery)

Men often come in because they “look tired” even when they feel fine. Upper eyelid surgery can correct hooding and heaviness, while lower eyelid surgery reduces under-eye bags and improves the transition to the cheek. The goal is a refreshed, alert appearance without changing your natural expression.

Face Lift for Men

A male facelift is about tightening the lower face and neck while preserving a masculine jawline and avoiding a “pulled” look. It can address jowls, loose skin, and deep folds, often combined with neck contouring for a stronger profile. Male facelift planning also considers beard area scarring and hairline placement.

Rhinoplasty for Men

Male rhinoplasty focuses on balance and structure—refining the nose while keeping it strong and natural for the face. Some men want subtle shaping; others need functional improvements such as better breathing. A careful approach is essential so the result doesn’t look overdone or out of proportion.

Otoplasty for Men (Ear Surgery)

Otoplasty repositions prominent ears or refines shape for a more balanced look from the front and side. It’s a straightforward procedure with a high satisfaction rate because the change can be significant but still natural.

The Surgical Process at Hygeia

Consultation

Your consultation is where we match your goals to what your anatomy can safely and realistically achieve. For body procedures, we assess fat distribution, skin quality, muscle tone, and proportion. For facial procedures, we evaluate skin laxity, eyelid position, nasal structure, and the neck/jawline balance.

For international patients, an initial video consultation can be helpful, followed by an in-person assessment in Tirana before surgery.

Preoperative Planning

You’ll receive medical clearance steps (labs, possible imaging when relevant), medication guidance, and pre-surgery instructions. Planning is also about selecting the correct technique: the “right” procedure often depends on skin quality and structure, not just the look you want.

Surgery Day

Most procedures are done under general anesthesia or deep sedation depending on complexity. Timing varies:

• Shorter procedures (e.g., otoplasty, select eyelid cases)
  
• Moderate procedures (liposuction, gynecomastia)
  
• Longer procedures (tummy tuck, facelift, combined sculpting cases)
  

Recovery and Results

Recovery depends on the procedure, but most men should expect:

• Swelling and bruising in the early weeks
  
• Compression garments after liposuction/gynecomastia/BBL/abdominal work
  
• Activity restrictions (especially training and lifting) for several weeks
  
• Gradual refinement over 2–3 months (sometimes longer for final contour)
  

Planning Your Trip (International Patients)

Most international male patients stay in Tirana for 5–7 days depending on the procedure, allowing time for:

• In-person assessment and pre-op checks
  
• Surgery
  
• Initial recovery and follow-up before travel
  

More complex or combined procedures may require a longer stay.
