PLASTIC SURGERY FOR MEN
Male facial plastic surgery procedures have dramatically increased over the past 20 years. Dr. Koch has performed all types of facial plastic surgery on men since being on the faculty at Stanford University School of Medicine. As with women, the goal is a natural looking result but there are some modifications that should be made with men to take full advantage of their hair and beard patterns, for example. You can achieve a more youthful appearance without compromising your masculinity or natural appearance.
