More men than ever are choosing plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments to look as strong, alert, competitive, and confident as they feel. Career demands, active lifestyles, and simple self-respect all play a role. For many, the goal is not a dramatic change, but subtle, natural-looking refinement: a tighter jawline, more rested eyes, a flatter chest, or a leaner midsection.
The goal is always natural, understated results—nothing that looks obvious or overdone. I also understand the importance of discretion and efficiency, so the process is designed to fit into your life with as little disruption as possible
Plastic surgery for men in Scranton, PA is planned with these priorities in mind. Procedures are tailored to male anatomy and aesthetics—sharper angles, flatter contours where appropriate, and preservation of a distinctly masculine look. The focus is on Enhancing Your Natural Beauty, not changing who you are.
Men frequently seek solutions for the eyelids, nose, jawline, neck, chest, and waist, along with non-surgical treatments that keep things subtle and efficient.
Meet Anthony D. Bruno, II, M.D.
Selecting the right surgeon is especially important for male plastic surgery. Small differences in angle, volume, and contour can be the difference between a natural, masculine result and one that feels off.
Anthony D. Bruno, II, MD is double board certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery. After six rigorous years of general surgery training and successfully passing his General Surgery board examination, he went on to complete 3 additional years of advanced plastic surgery training at Duke University Medical Center, one of the nation’s premier programs. He then passed his Plastic Surgery board exam. This exceptional level of training along with his God given talents is what enables his meticulous planning, technical mastery, precision, and expert refinement in the most complex tummy tuck surgery.
This path is distinctive. Many plastic surgeons do not complete full general surgery training and board certification before specializing. Dr. Bruno’s background in complex surgery, torso and facial anatomy, and wound healing is especially valuable for male patients seeking precise, dependable results.
Regional newspapers have repeatedly named his practice among “The Best” in the area. Over time, many patients have come to express their trust with a simple phrase: Only Dr. Bruno.
Plastic Surgery for Men: A Tailored Approach
Male plastic surgery is not a scaled-down version of procedures designed for women. The goals, anatomy, and aesthetic ideals are different. Key principles include:
- Preserving and enhancing masculine features
- Avoiding over-filling or over-tightening
- Prioritizing discretion in scars and downtime
- Creating changes that blend seamlessly into professional and social life
Dr. Bruno listens carefully to each patient’s goals—whether that means looking less tired in meetings, feeling more confident shirtless, or aligning appearance with an active, disciplined lifestyle.
Below is an overview of some of the most commonly requested procedures for men at Bruno Plastic Surgery. Each service will be explored in greater detail on dedicated pages, but this guide offers a clear starting point.
Eyelid Surgery for Men (Male Blepharoplasty)
Heavy upper eyelids, puffy lower lids, and under-eye bags can make a man look tired or older than he feels, even when energy and health are excellent. Male blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyelids to create a more rested, alert appearance.
For male patients, the goal is subtle refinement:
- Upper eyelids that look open and natural, not hollowed
- Lower lids with reduced puffiness, without a “done” look
- Preservation of natural eyelid crease and masculine brow position
This procedure is often chosen by professionals who want to look refreshed and focused, not different.
Facelift for Men
A well-planned facelift for men focuses on the lower face and neck, where jowls, deep folds, and neck laxity tend to show first. The aim is to:
- Sharpen the jawline
- Smooth deeper creases around the mouth
- Tighten loose skin and muscle in the lower face and neck
Male facelift surgery respects facial hair patterns, sideburns, and thicker skin. Incisions are placed with care around the ears and hairline, and the degree of tightening is tailored to avoid an over-pulled or “windblown” appearance. Many men simply appear more rested, leaner, and more defined.
Rhinoplasty for Men
The nose anchors the center of the face. A dorsal hump, crooked bridge, drooping tip, or prior injury can draw attention away from the eyes and disrupt balance.
Male rhinoplasty refines the nose while keeping it distinctly masculine:
- Straightening a crooked bridge
- Smoothing a hump without creating an overly small or upturned nose
- Refining a bulbous or drooping tip
- Improving nasal breathing in selected cases
Dr. Bruno designs rhinoplasty plans that respect the stronger lines and proportions typical of the male face, aiming for a nose that looks like it has always belonged there.
Liposuction for Men
Even with disciplined training, certain fat deposits can be stubborn. Common male liposuction areas include:
- Abdomen and waist (“spare tire”)
- Flanks and lower back
- Chest (in combination with gynecomastia surgery in selected cases)
- Neck and under the chin
Liposuction for men is about contour, not weight loss. The procedure sculpts these localized areas so that clothing fits better and the underlying muscle definition can show more clearly. When skin tone is good, liposuction can refine the torso and create a more athletic outline.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)
Enlarged male breast tissue—gynecomastia—can be physically and emotionally uncomfortable. It can affect clothing choices, social activities, and self-confidence, even in otherwise fit men.
Male breast reduction typically involves:
- Removing excess glandular breast tissue
- Reducing localized fat with liposuction when appropriate
- Tightening skin in cases of significant stretching
The goal is a flatter, more defined chest that looks natural in and out of clothing. Dr. Bruno tailors incision placement and technique to minimize visible scarring while prioritizing shape, symmetry, and safety.
Male Nipple Reduction Surgery
Some men are bothered by enlarged or prominent nipples that show through shirts or feel out of proportion to the chest. Male nipple reduction surgery carefully reduces size and projection while preserving sensation and a natural appearance.
This procedure is often performed in combination with gynecomastia surgery but can also be done as a focused, stand-alone surgery. Attention to proportion and scar placement is critical to achieving a discreet, masculine outcome.
BOTOX for Men
High-pressure careers, long hours, and active lifestyles can contribute to lines between the brows, across the forehead, and around the eyes. BOTOX treatment for men softens these lines while preserving movement and expression.
Typical goals include:
- Easing frown lines that look tense or angry
- Softening forehead creases
- Reducing crow’s feet while maintaining a natural smile
Dosing and placement are adjusted for male facial anatomy and muscle strength, with an emphasis on keeping the result subtle and appropriate for professional environments.
Dermal Fillers for Men
Dermal fillers can restore structure and volume in a way that supports masculine features. Common uses in men include:
- Refining the jawline and chin projection
- Softening deep folds without over-filling the midface
- Addressing hollowing under the eyes in selected candidates
The objective is structure, not roundness. Fillers are placed to enhance definition and balance, avoiding the overfilled look that many men wish to avoid.
PrecisionTX Laser Treatment
PrecisionTX is a targeted, minimally invasive laser treatment used in selected patients to address:
- Mild to moderate lower face and neck laxity
- Jowling and early jawline softening
- Small areas of excess fat under the chin
Through tiny access points, laser energy is delivered under the skin to help tighten tissues and contour subtle problem areas. In carefully chosen candidates, PrecisionTX can delay or complement more extensive surgical procedures.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation for Men
Sun exposure, outdoor work, and time can lead to uneven skin tone, fine lines, and texture changes. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments are adjusted for male skin thickness and lifestyle, aiming to:
- Improve overall skin tone and clarity
- Reduce the appearance of sun spots and redness
- Smooth fine lines and refine texture
Treatment plans can be tailored around work schedules and professional commitments to minimize downtime and keep results discreet.
More on Plastic Surgery for Men
Before the Procedure
Whether the goal is surgery or non-surgical treatment, preparation begins with a thorough consultation. For male patients, this visit typically includes:
- A discussion of personal goals, profession, and lifestyle
- Examination of the face, body, or skin areas of concern
- Review of medical history, medications, and prior procedures
- Consideration of recovery time, work demands, and family responsibilities
Dr. Bruno then recommends a tailored plan, often combining smaller procedures to achieve a cohesive result. Men are encouraged to ask direct questions about downtime, scar placement, and how noticeable changes are likely to be in both casual and professional settings.
Preparation may involve:
- Adjusting medications and supplements
- Avoiding nicotine for a period before and after surgery
- Planning time off work appropriate to the chosen procedures
- Setting realistic expectations for change and recovery
During the Procedure
The specific experience depends on the procedure or combination of treatments:
- Surgical procedures (such as eyelid surgery, facelift, rhinoplasty, liposuction, and gynecomastia surgery) are performed in a certified surgical setting, most often under general anesthesia or IV sedation.
- Office-based treatments (such as BOTOX, fillers, and many laser procedures) are typically done with topical or local anesthesia and allow a return to daily activities shortly afterward, with guidance.
In every case, the focus remains on:
- Safety and careful monitoring throughout the procedure
- Precise technique tailored to male anatomy and aesthetic goals
- Discreet incision placement for surgical procedures
- Natural-looking shaping and dosing for injectables and laser treatments
Procedures are sequenced thoughtfully to minimize overall anesthesia time when surgeries are combined.
After the Procedure
Recovery varies depending on whether the treatment is surgical or non-surgical:
- Surgical procedures usually involve a period of swelling, bruising, and reduced activity. Most men return to nonstrenuous work within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the operation and job demands.
- Non-surgical treatments often require little to no downtime, though mild swelling or temporary redness is common with injectables and laser treatments.
Across all procedures, patients receive clear guidance on:
- Activity restrictions and when exercise can safely resume
- Incision or skin care, including scar and sun protection
- Follow-up visits to monitor healing and adjust the long-term plan if needed
The overarching aim is to support a smooth recovery that fits as comfortably as possible into a busy life, while protecting results for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plastic Surgery for Men in Scranton, PA
Are plastic surgery procedures for men different from those for women?
Yes. While the underlying techniques may be similar, goals and details are different. Male procedures emphasize stronger lines, flatter contours in appropriate areas, and preservation of masculine features. Incision placement, implant choice, and the degree of tightening or filling are all adjusted to suit male anatomy and aesthetics. During consultation, Dr. Bruno explains how each procedure is tailored specifically for men.
How much downtime should I expect after male plastic surgery?
Downtime depends on the procedure. Many non-surgical treatments, such as BOTOX or fillers, have little to no downtime. Surgical procedures like eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty may require about a week away from nonstrenuous work, while larger operations such as gynecomastia surgery or liposuction often require one to two weeks. More extensive combinations, such as facelift with neck work, may require longer. A clear, customized timeline is provided before any procedure is scheduled.
Will people be able to tell I had something done?
Most men prefer subtle, discreet changes. The aim is to help you look more rested, fit, and confident—without obvious signs of surgery. Friends and colleagues often notice that a patient looks “good” or “refreshed” without knowing exactly why. The degree of change can be adjusted based on your preferences, and Dr. Bruno plans procedures accordingly.
Is it common for men to get BOTOX and fillers?
Yes. BOTOX and fillers are increasingly common among men, including professionals who want to maintain a sharp, approachable appearance. Treatments are adjusted for male muscle strength and anatomy. The goal is to soften lines and restore structure while keeping a natural, expressive look. Many men appreciate that these treatments can often be done quickly, with minimal disruption to their schedules.
How do I know which procedures are right for me?
The best way to decide is through a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Bruno evaluates your anatomy, listens to your goals, reviews your medical history, and discusses your daily responsibilities and tolerance for downtime. From there, a plan is designed that may include surgical procedures, non-surgical treatments, or a combination. The emphasis is always on safety, proportion, and results that feel authentic to you.
