Whether the goal is to enhance appearance, correct irregularities, or to remain youthful and competitive in the workplace, men from age 18 to 70+ are recognizing the benefits of plastic surgery to keep them at the top of their game. Our team of specialists at Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons provides the plastic and reconstructive expertise to help you meet your personal aesthetic goals.
Body and Trunk
Reshape those stubborn flabby areas and create the sculpted, well-proportioned body you’ve always wanted.
Despite regular fitness and proper nutrition, many men discover that attaining that shapely, well-proportioned figure they want is just not happening. Gender and hereditary factors often generate a larger waistline, “love handles,” and other stubborn fatty areas of the body that just won’t go away. It is frustrating for a man who wants to look his best.
The cosmetic specialists at Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons are experts in addressing the body issues uniquely experienced by men. Reshaping the abdomen and waist, hips and “love handles,” chest, back and buttocks is expertly done to create a new you. We are also adept at refining other common problematic areas including the neck, face, arms, and legs.
The primary method of re-sculpting the body and losing undesired fat tissue is through liposuction (lipoplasty). Liposuction is a proven surgical technique that allows a plastic surgeon to remove excess fat from specific areas. Crystal Clinic utilizes a variety of liposuction technologies and techniques, including the tumescent technique, suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL), and power-assisted liposuction (PAL).
Those with loose, saggy skin or stretch marks may be candidates for a lift procedure, which surgically removes excess skin along with unwanted fat. Liposuction can be combined with a lift procedure to remove fat, tighten skin, and contour the body for an enhanced, well-proportioned profile. Men who have had these procedures report that it’s easier to find clothes that fit and look great, and that they have improved self-confidence.
The best way to know if liposuction and/or a body lift is right for you is to sit down with your Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons specialist for a personal consultation. Together, you will discuss your current condition, your desired results, the details of your procedure options, post-procedure expectations, and any concerns or questions you may have.

Be ready to show off a well-proportioned physique.
Through the ages, a highly-sculpted, muscular physique has always been the model for the human male. Unfortunately, genetic programming, trauma, cancer, or congenital skeletal or muscular defects has meant that the desired chest shape is not naturally possible for many boys and men who live with irregular chest and breast deformities.
When the ribs and sternum are involved at birth it can produce a sunken-in deformity of the sternum, which is known as pectus excavatum. Acquired conditions resulting from trauma or cancer can take different forms. Both types of chest deformities can be addressed with expert plastic surgery by Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons.
Our team of experts is able to replace muscle volume and enhance shape by inserting synthetic, soft, silicone implants. Pectoral implants, commonly referred to as chest implants or pec implants, are used to correct both congenital or acquired chest defects as well as enhance the appearance, size and muscular definition of pectoral muscles in the normal male chest. Pectoral implants can create a permanent, predictable change in chest size and shape, compensating for chest deformities and creating a more natural contour. In addition, men with congenital chest wall deformities or those with an acquired deformity from rupture or tear of the pectoralis muscle can achieve improvement in chest shape and symmetry.
The best way to know if a chest deformity procedure is right for you is to sit down with your Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons specialist for a personal consultation. Together, you will discuss your condition, your desired results, the details of your procedure options, and any concerns or questions you may have.

Our face is our most personal trait. It is the outward expression of our identity. Yet, many men feel their outward appearance doesn’t accurately represent the person they are inside. Perhaps they desire to look younger to better match their vibrant spirit. Or create eyes that show energy instead of fatigue. Whether corrective or cosmetic, when expertly performed by the highly-trained specialists at Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons, a face procedure can be life changing. No wonder more men are choosing to have cosmetic face surgery to establish the dynamic look and the self-confidence they want.
Nose Surgery For many men, the first time they entertain the thought of plastic surgery is in the interest of “fixing” the shape of their nose. Nose surgery, also known as rhinoplasty, tailors the size and shape of the nose to better balance with other facial features and create the ideal facial structure. Reconstructive surgery to improve nasal breathing is frequently performed at the same time and may be covered by insurance.
Eyelid Surgery More than any other facial cosmetic procedure, eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can transform one’s appearance and brighten their facial expression. Blepharoplasty is used by Crystal Clinic surgeons to correct a sad or tired appearance by removing bulging fat “bags” around the eyes along with excessive and wrinkled skin on the eyelids. The result is a brighter, happier, more inviting appearance.
Facelift As aging men remain increasingly active and vital in the workforce, as well as in the social scene, there is a great desire to remain looking strong, vibrant, and competitive. Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons leads the way with advanced cosmetic facelift techniques and treatments proven to erase the telltale signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance.
The best way to know if cosmetic face surgery is right for you is to sit down with your Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons specialist for a personal consultation. Together, you will discuss your desired results, the details of your procedure options, financial considerations, and any concerns or questions you may have.

As far back as Da Vinci, a highly-sculpted, muscular physique has always been an admired human physical quality. However, because of genetic programming, trauma, cancer, or congenital muscular and neurological disease, the desired muscle shape and volume cannot always be achieved. Plastic surgeons are able to replace calf muscle volume and shape by inserting synthetic, soft, silicon implants to achieve the desired muscle shape.
Calf implants enhance the shape and size of the calf muscles by placing soft, solid silicone implants in pockets over the existing calf muscle, the gastrocnemius muscle.
Resistance training, more commonly known as weight lifting, will result in growth of a normal muscle. When the shape and volume of the muscle has reached it’s limitations in growth, implants can be placed to provide shape and volume. Those who seek body contouring by calf implants include male body builders, those with deformities from trauma, and those with medical conditions, such as polio.
What are some of the most common benefits of calf implants?
The procedure enhances the size and shape of the leg. And as a result, most patients are more confident in their appearance. Scars are placed behind the knee in a natural crease and are not generally visible.
What will happen at the initial consultation?
A detailed medical history and physical examination are performed at the initial consultation in Akron, OH. Bring a list of medications both prescription and over the counter with you, as some medications can cause bleeding at surgery. During the consultation you will be asked about your general health, your motivation for seeking calf implants, and your preferred calf shape. Leg measurements are made and the size of the implant chosen.
How is the procedure performed?
The legs are measured at a pre-operative office visit and the appropriately pre-manufactured sized implants are ordered. Custom implants can be made. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient. We ask that you stay in the Akron, OH area at least 3 days after your surgery. Incisions are made behind the knee in a natural crease. A pocket is made just big enough for the implant to fit securely. The area is examined for the desired effect, and if the result appears good, then the incision is closed with stitches.
What to expect after surgery
In most cases of calf implant surgery, patients can stand up and walk immediately after surgery, but should rest and elevate their legs as much as possible for the first week. And while patients must wear support leg stockings for a few weeks after surgery, they can usually resume exercise and other activities after six weeks. The results are permanent and generally do not interfere with sports or weight lifting.
What can I expect after the procedure?
With adequate pre-operative preparation, attention to detail intra-operatively, and attentive post-operative care, patient satisfaction after this operation is extremely high. Calf implants have been very successful in allowing patients to achieve their desired leg size and shape. Patients frequently less self-conscious and note an improvement in self esteem.
By and large once these implants are placed, they last for several years. Rarely, revision surgery may be required to reposition an implant that has moved. Long term some patients can develop excessive scar tissue around the implant, which can cause pain or distortion, requiring surgery to replace or remove the implant.
The most common form of breast deformity is gynecomastia, which is an acquired condition involving the development of breast tissue in males. If you are a man with unwanted breast tissue or asymmetry of the breasts, nipples or areolas, then you are a candidate for corrective surgery. Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons has the expertise to address this condition and restore a normal, masculine shape.
The mildest forms of gynecomastia are corrected with liposuction, a procedure that efficiently extracts unwanted fat tissue. More severe forms of gynecomastia may require a combination of liposuction and surgical removal of breast tissue and skin. In both instances, the procedure results in establishing an ordinary male chest contour. Incision scars are typically minimal and are often hidden by chest hair. Men and boys who have had this cosmetic procedure feel better about their appearance, are much more comfortable in clothing—or going shirtless—and are no longer disposed to wearing baggy clothes or multiple layers of clothing to hide their breasts.
The best way to know if gynecomastia cosmetic surgery is right for you is to sit down with your Crystal Clinic Plastic Surgeons specialist for a personal consultation. Together, you will discuss your condition, your desired results, the details of the procedure and post-procedure expectations, and any concerns or questions you may have.
