Surgery For Men:

Men have special concerns when it comes to plastic surgery; indeed, their needs and goals are
        usually far different from women's, and there are noted physical differences in male skin thickness
        and elasticity, facial structure, and body structure that require special attention from the physician.
        Currently, more and more men of all ages and socioeconomic strata are using cosmetic surgery to
        improve their looks, and Dr Schmidt is more than pleased to offer his skills to this growing segment
        of clientele.

                    

        Many men face the same sight in the mirror every morning: puffy, sagging eyelids; bags under the eyes
        from extensive fat deposits - in general, eyes whose youthfulness has long drained away to be replaced
        by a noticeable look of increasing fatigue and old age. Men's eyes can deteriorate in appearance just as
        much as women's, and the potential damage to a man's self-image and self-confidence is no less
        severe. For those facing this problem, eyelifts and general eyelid surgery (know as blepharoplasties)
        can help.

        Procedure:
        An eyelift procedure involves the removal of accumulated fat in the eyelids and the tightening of the skin
        that results in a younger, fresher look to the eyes. However, an eyelift does not involve the amelioration
        of dark circles under the eyes, crow's feet, or drooping eyebrows (other procedures, such a BOTOX
        or a brow lift, are more appropriate for these concerns). A Blepharoplasty is common, straightforward
        procedure designed to improve the look and youthfulness of the eyelids. there is some variance in the
        exact operation depending on whether it is the upper part, the lower part, or the whole eyelid which will
        be worked on. Incisions are made either in a fold in the upper lid (for upper eyelid surgery) or beneath
        the lower eyelashes (for lower eyelid surgery). Then, maneuvering via the incision, the fat lining attached
        to the eyelid muscle is separated and removed, and any drooping skin is tightened and trimmed.
        Sutures are employed to close up any incisions. Depending on the nature of your problems, actually
        surgery can range for one to three hours.

      Recovery:
         Recovery time after an eyelift varies from one to a few weeks. Ice packs and medication are
         recommended for the first days of recovery to deal with potential aches, swelling, and bruising around
         the eyes. Swelling should dissolve in a week or two along with any bruising or related discoloration.
         Potential blurriness, increased dryness of the eyes, and sensitivity to light can be alleviated through
         eye-drops and sunglasses. In a few weeks, the surgery's results will reveal themselves, and your eyes
         will appear firmer, more awake, more relaxed and much younger than they were before surgery.

         Typical Patient Profile:
         The typical male candidate for eyelift surgery is someone in his late 30s to late 50s who would like to
         improve the appearance of their eyes and whose eyelid skin remains elastic enough to adjust quickly
         and positively to a blepharoplasty procedure. It is important, of course, to have a healthy frame of mind
         when pursing eyelift surgery, and each candidate must have realistic expectations about what it can do
         to improve your looks.
