Plastic Surgery for Men
A recent study found what we have seen in the office here in Beverly Hills: When men receive anti-wrinkle treatment, they need larger doses than women. This is in keeping for all plastic surgery procedures: men are just plain different than women. This holds for facial aesthetics and liposuction and everything in between. Here is a summary of the article—
There has recently become a growing interest in cosmetic procedures by men. Although most practices see a majority of women, the number of male patients who seek treatment is slowly increasing.
Men often require more units of Botox than women which may be because men have a greater muscle mass than women. Similarly, it has been a common clinical observation that larger, stronger men need more units per treatment area than slender, small-boned men. The most common cause of inadequate results in male patients is under-dosing, which may lead to men requiring additional Botox injections.
“Various areas of the male face can be treated with Botox and injections need to keep in mind the greater muscle mass in men,” the author notes.

Plastic Surgery Effective in Eliminating or Decreasing Migraine
Millions of migraine sufferers attempt various medicaments, raging from exercises to new diets to any kind of painkillers you could think of. However, none of those options worked for many of these people suffering of heavy daily migraine. Well, good news! A new medicament is around….plastic surgery.
Clinical professor of plastic surgery at Case Western Reserve University, Bahman Guyuron says, that this new technique could help at minimum half of all migraine sufferers. In a study conducted by Guyuron, it was concluded that muscles or tissue underlying the neck and spots acircular the face (like the corrugator supercilii muscle in the forehead) should be removed using plastic surgery to help treat the pain.
The study included 29 patients who had a muscle removed. An outstanding 95 percent of these patients conveyed, thcoarse a course of one year, a reduce or total cease of migraine symptoms. Even though Guyuron’s theory that migraine starts in facial nerve is not generally accepted by neurologist specialists, this new technique has seemed to work for many patients.
