Facial Plastic Surgery for Men
While a patient’s gender is largely irrelevant when it comes to the surgical process itself, biological men and women tend to prize very different aesthetic results. For instance, men usually want sharper, more robust features, whereas women typically desire a softer, rounder effect. Our Specialist Plastic Surgeon, Vlad Milovic, FRACS, has helped countless men alter their appearance with facial plastic surgery. Whether you want to enhance the natural angles of your face, address signs of ageing or achieve a combination of both, Dr Milovic is glad to meet with you to discuss your goals.

Facelift
Facelift surgery generally involves the manipulation and repositioning of certain facial muscles and tissues to produce a smoother, more youthful aesthetic. Dr Milovic is experienced in many advanced strategies, including the “mini” and “deep plane” methods, to address a patient’s specific concerns and meet their unique needs.
Neck Lift
A neck lift is typically employed to tighten, sculpt or otherwise change the appearance of the neck. In many cases, Dr Milovic can incorporate neck lift techniques into facelift surgery to produce a slimmer neck contour for male patients.
Forehead/Brow Lift
Specifically developed to elevate the brow and enhance the upper third of the face, brow lift surgery (also referred to as a “forehead lift”) can create the relaxed, more refreshed expression many patients crave.
Blepharoplasty
Also known as an “eyelid lift,” blepharoplasty can be an ideal choice for male patients who wish to contour the skin on or around their eyelids. In addition to addressing many common aesthetic concerns, blepharoplasty can help a patient’s expression appear wider and more alert.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting is used frequently in the world of plastic surgery. It serves to replenish depleted facial volume with a patient’s own fat (after it has been carefully extracted and purified). Men who undergo facial fat grafting at our practice can achieve a contoured, proportionate facial aesthetic.
Chin, Neck & Jawline Contouring
Dr Milovic can employ various techniques to firm the lower face and enhance chin, neck and jawline contour and definition. These procedures can also be excellent options for men interested in reducing excess submental fat with neck liposuction.
Rhinoplasty
To perform rhinoplasty, Dr Milovic restructures the bone and cartilage within the nose to alter its positioning, shape or size. Male patients frequently desire a more defined bridge that compliments the rest of their masculine features. They may wish to address humps, bumps, asymmetry or other common aesthetic concerns. Dr Milovic is proficient in both traditional (surgical hammer and scalpel) rhinoplasty and ultrasonic rhinoplasty, which involves the breaking and repositioning of bones with ultrasonic energy.
