Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) for Men

Changes in the area of the upper and lower eyelids can make the face appear older or more tired. Eyelid surgery is a proven procedure to correct these changes. There are generally two types. Either patients with volume loss and a hollowed eye area, or those in whom excess fatty tissue protrudes.

In upper eyelid surgery, excess skin is removed and, if necessary, fatty tissue is adjusted. Lower eyelid surgery serves to reduce under-eye bags and skin laxity. If required, fatty tissue may also be replaced. The incisions are placed so that scars are barely visible or located inside the eyelid.

The goal is an alert, natural facial expression without visible signs of surgery.

Brow Lift for Men

Drooping eyebrows can create a tired or tense facial expression. In a brow lift for men, the focus is on a subtle elevation.

Compared to women, men typically have a more elongated and straighter brow. This must be considered during planning.

The procedure is usually performed endoscopically through small incisions within the hair-bearing scalp. This technique allows precise correction with minimal scarring.

For patients with little or no hair growth, a direct brow lift with skin excision may be considered in selected cases. The decision is made individually based on anatomical conditions and during a personal consultation.

Half-and-half in a self-experiment: How differently can a face be rejuvenated?

For an extraordinary self-experiment, Jenke von Wilmsdorff set out to answer a clear question: Which method changes the face more visibly, surgical procedures or modern cosmetic treatments?

Known for his consistent and often physically demanding experiments, he tested the possibilities of facial rejuvenation under real conditions. One half of the face was treated with plastic surgery, the other exclusively with non-surgical methods. The result: a direct comparison of two approaches, visible, comprehensible, and without compromise.

The Jenke Experiment
with Dr. Berkei

Dr. Julia Berkei accompanied Jenke von Wilmsdorff in an extraordinary TV self-experiment between aesthetic treatments and plastic surgery.

For the experiment, Jenke had one half of his face surgically treated, including eyelid surgery, a neck lift, and fillers. Two months later, the other side was treated exclusively with non-surgical methods. The result was documented on film and attracted significant public attention. More about the story can be found on the Media Appearances page.

Contour & Tightening – Definition and Harmonization of the Facial Shape

For a clear, defined jawline, a sculpted chin, and firm neck contours

Our contouring and tightening treatments offer innovative solutions to enhance the natural structure of the chin, jawline, and neck while specifically addressing unwanted fat deposits or skin laxity. Whether through minimally invasive injections to define the jawline, reduction of a double chin, fat-dissolving injections for small targeted fat deposits, or advanced laser technologies such as Endolift, each treatment is individually tailored to the male facial structure. This approach creates clearer contours, firmer skin, and a strong, expressive appearance.

Jawline Injections (Chin Enhancement)

Jawline injections are a treatment technique in aesthetic medicine in which the transition from the face to the neck is more strongly defined using hyaluronic acid.

In men, this treatment can create a more angular facial structure, contributing to a strong and well-defined appearance. In women, it can help smooth out unwanted irregularities or indentations, resulting in a more harmonious and slimmer facial contour.

Benefits of Jawline Injections for Men

Clear contouring, minimally invasive, and individually adjustable.

The treatment precisely shapes the masculine chin and jawline without surgery or extended downtime. The amount of filler and the contour can be carefully controlled, allowing for a natural, masculine result.

Initial results are visible immediately and can be adjusted or refreshed if needed. With hyaluronic acid, the result can also be dissolved if the patient is dissatisfied. The treatment can also be combined with other aesthetic procedures to enhance the overall male facial appearance.

Dr. Berkei gives a man a jawline injection to improve the contours in the jaw area.

Who Is Jawline Injection Suitable for in Men?

The treatment is suitable for men who want a clearly defined, masculine jaw and chin line. Whether the face is naturally more rounded or the skin has become slightly lax, targeted volume enhancement can tighten and precisely contour the lower part of the face. The result is a fresher, more defined overall appearance that can be individually adjusted.

Further information about jawline injections can be found on our anti-aging page.

Double Chin Liposuction for Men

Excess fatty tissue in the chin and neck area can significantly affect the definition of the jawline. Double chin liposuction allows for the targeted reduction of this fat deposit.

The procedure is performed through small access points using fine instruments. The goal is a clearer contour of the lower face and neck. The skin usually retracts according to its individual elasticity. In certain cases, double chin liposuction can also be combined with an Endolift treatment.

Using the example of Murat, the results of a double chin liposuction can be clearly observed. His complete treatment story can be seen in the video.

Endolift

Endolift is a minimally invasive procedure for skin tightening and contour improvement. It is particularly suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity.

Through fine laser fibers, targeted energy is delivered into deeper layers of the skin. This can support skin tightening and reduce fat tissue in defined areas, for example in the chin or lower cheek region.

The procedure is performed without incisions and involves a short recovery time.

Structural Skin Renewal for Men – Phenol Peeling and CO₂ Laser

Intensive skin rejuvenation for a fresh, clear, and naturally masculine appearance.

As men age, the skin changes visibly. Deep forehead lines, pronounced wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and a coarser skin texture can make the face appear more tired or harsher. Many men over 50 seek a visible renewal of the skin without adding volume and without losing masculine contours.

In our practice in Frankfurt, we combine two structure-changing procedures for targeted skin rejuvenation in men: phenol peeling and the fractional CO₂ Fraxel laser.

Typical Applications of the CO₂ Fraxel Laser in Men

The CO₂ Fraxel laser offers effective options for the targeted treatment of wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation spots. In men, the laser is most commonly used for smoothing treatments in the eye area, forehead, and around the mouth.

It is also suitable for the removal of age spots (lentigo simplex) on the face or hands, as well as seborrheic keratoses (so-called age-related skin growths), which can occur frequently in male skin that is naturally thicker or more strongly pigmented.

Many of these skin changes can be significantly reduced or permanently removed with a single laser treatment.

Further information about the CO₂ Fraxel laser can be found on our anti-aging page.

Rhinoplasty for an Optimal Nose

For improved breathing and an aesthetically balanced nasal shape.

Many men choose rhinoplasty to improve their appearance and strengthen their self-confidence. A harmonious nasal shape can positively influence the overall facial appearance and contribute to a more balanced and symmetrical look. In addition, functional issues such as breathing difficulties can be corrected, which can significantly improve quality of life. Rhinoplasty offers men the opportunity to address dissatisfaction with their appearance and feel more comfortable in their own skin.

Dr. Berkei offers specialized rhinoplasty procedures for men that address both aesthetic and functional aspects. With precise techniques and many years of experience, she ensures results that appear natural and masculine. Whether the goal is to refine the nasal shape, correct injuries, or improve breathing, Dr. Berkei and her team provide individual solutions designed to enhance both confidence and well-being.

Surgical Rhinoplasty for Men

Structural precision for a permanently defined nasal shape.

A surgical rhinoplasty is suitable for men seeking a lasting change in both form and function. Whether addressing a pronounced nasal hump, a wide nasal base, or functional limitations, surgical techniques allow for a stable reshaping of the nasal structure while respecting male facial proportions. The goal is a defined, strong profile that preserves character while also optimizing nasal breathing.

Snoring and Restricted Nasal Breathing

Snoring often results from restricted nasal breathing and may be improved through a functional rhinoplasty.

Many patients who snore at night also experience limited nasal airflow. In many cases, the cause is a narrowing of the nasal passages, for example due to a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. As a result, breathing during sleep shifts to the mouth, the airflow becomes more turbulent, and snoring sounds occur.

A functional nasal surgery can improve nasal breathing by widening the airways and stabilizing airflow. In addition to aesthetic correction of the nasal shape, the functional aspects of the nose are therefore always considered. The aim is a harmonious nasal shape and clear nasal breathing, including during sleep.

A New Look, New Freedom – Marc’s Rhinoplasty

Why Marc decided to undergo the procedure.

Marc had suffered from breathing problems for years: the right turbinate was enlarged and the nasal septum was deviated, which significantly affected both breathing and sleep. He also felt uncomfortable with the shape of his nose. After extensive research, he decided to undergo rhinoplasty with Dr. Berkei, both for health reasons and to improve his self-image. The goal was a straight, harmonious nose that fits naturally with his face and allows clear nasal breathing.

Procedure Overview

How Marc was treated – goals and surgical steps

The operation lasted about two and a half hours, and Marc stayed one night in the clinic. Dr. Berkei explained the entire procedure in advance, so Marc knew exactly what to expect and which functional improvements the surgery was intended to achieve.

Marc’s Surgery Diary

Marc had very thick nasal skin, which meant that the healing process, and especially the reduction of swelling, took longer than usual.

Immediately after the operation, swelling occurred, which can be particularly pronounced with this skin type. Nasal breathing improved significantly once the internal tubes were removed after ten days. The bone had stably fused after about five weeks. Due to the thick skin, swelling persisted for several months. Only after about six months could a first reliable intermediate result be assessed. In Marc’s case, the final nasal contour develops very slowly, with the definitive result becoming fully visible only after around three years.

Marc’s New Nose: Functional and Harmonious

Six months after the surgery, Marc’s nose is straight, harmoniously shaped, and functionally fully restored.

The nasal tip is subtly elevated, the airways are clear, and Marc can once again sleep and breathe normally. Emotionally, the result reflects his satisfaction: “It feels as if it had never been any different.” The procedure has significantly improved both his quality of life and self-confidence, and he would recommend Dr. Berkei at any time.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty for Men

Targeted contour refinement without surgical intervention.

This minimally invasive treatment is suitable for men who want to discreetly correct minor irregularities. By precisely placing hyaluronic acid, profile unevenness can be balanced, the nasal tip subtly elevated, or contours more clearly defined without altering the underlying anatomical structure. The method offers an immediately visible, reversible enhancement with a short recovery time and is particularly suitable for a subtle yet effective refinement of the side profile.

Male Deep Plane Facelift

Facelift procedures in men differ from those in women in several respects. Skin characteristics, tissue distribution, and aesthetic goals require an adapted surgical approach.

For male patients, we perform a Deep Plane Facelift. This technique corrects not only excess skin but also mobilizes the deeper tissue layers and repositions them anatomically. In this way, changes in the midface, jawline, and neck area can be improved in a sustainable and natural manner.

Advantages of a Facelift for Men

  • Naturally rejuvenated, masculine appearance
  • Long-lasting, stable results
  • Individually adaptable depending on facial structure
  • Enhanced chin and jawline definition for a strong, distinctive look
  • Reduction of deep wrinkles without a mask-like effect
  • Combination with other aesthetic treatments possible
  • Positive impact on self-confidence and overall presence

Naturally refreshed while preserving masculine facial features

A precisely planned Deep Plane Facelift provides a subtle rejuvenation with discreet scar placement, so you appear refreshed without the procedure being noticeable.

The goal is a natural revitalization of the facial expression while preserving masculine facial features. Scar placement and the hairline are carefully considered. A well-performed Deep Plane Facelift should lead others to perceive you as refreshed without being able to identify the procedure itself.

Fat Transfer (Lipofilling) for Men in Frankfurt

More and more men today value a well-groomed, strong appearance. Digital presence, professional responsibility, and an active lifestyle are changing expectations regarding naturalness and personal presence.

Fat transfer (lipofilling) offers a biological approach to facial rejuvenation. Using very fine cannulas, the body’s own fat, usually taken from the abdomen or hips, is gently harvested, processed, and precisely injected into areas with volume loss, particularly in sunken cheeks, reduced jawline definition, or an underdeveloped chin.

In addition, stem cell therapy can be incorporated. Regenerative cell components derived from the patient’s own fat can improve skin quality. In combination with phenol peels or a CO₂ laser treatment, skin texture and pigment irregularities can be visibly improved.

For many men, this combination represents a natural alternative to an early facelift, aiming for a fresh, confident, and unchanged masculine appearance.

In our practices in Frankfurt and Zurich, we provide discreet consultations.

Stem Cell Transplantation for Face and Hair

Autologous fat-derived stem cell transplantation uses the regenerative properties of the body’s own cells. After harvesting and processing, these cells are precisely introduced into the face or scalp.

In the facial area, the treatment can contribute to improved skin quality and volume. In the scalp, it is used to support hair growth and help stabilize existing hair structures.

Because only the patient’s own tissue is used, the method is generally well tolerated.

A Masculine Appearance for Gynecomastia

Returning to a masculine chest.

Gynecomastia, the enlargement of the male chest due to glandular tissue or fat accumulation, can lead to psychological discomfort and self-confidence issues. At Dr. Berkei’s clinic, the cause of gynecomastia is thoroughly assessed. It often results from hormonal imbalances or medication use.

When such a cause is identified, conservative treatments such as hormone therapy or medication adjustments may be considered. If surgical intervention is necessary, Dr. Berkei provides experienced and precise procedures to remove excess tissue and improve chest contour.

Techniques for Gynecomastia

Effective techniques for a flat, masculine chest contour in men – tailored to excess fat and glandular tissue.

Liposuction

If gynecomastia is primarily caused by excess fat tissue, liposuction provides an effective solution. This minimally invasive technique removes fat cells through small incisions, reduces breast size, and improves chest contour, resulting in a more aesthetic and masculine appearance.

Gland Removal

When the breast gland is enlarged, surgical gland removal may be necessary. Often performed in combination with liposuction, this procedure removes excess fat and enlarged gland tissue, achieving a flatter and firmer chest.

Combined Treatment

In many cases, gynecomastia is a combination of excess fat and enlarged glands. A combined treatment of liposuction and gland removal delivers the best results by addressing both causes simultaneously, creating a harmonious chest contour.

Fat-Dissolving Injection

For minor fat excess, the fat-dissolving injection can target and break down fat cells. This minimally invasive method is ideal for reducing small fat deposits in the chest and offers a gentle alternative to surgical procedures.

Abdominal Liposuction for Men in Frankfurt

Masculine definition instead of volume.

Despite training and disciplined nutrition, many men retain an area that is difficult to influence: the abdomen. Especially in the lower abdomen or along the flanks, fat can remain persistent and obscure the natural definition of the abdominal muscles.

Abdominal liposuction for men in Frankfurt does not primarily aim at weight reduction but at contour refinement. The goal is a clearly defined, masculine silhouette, emphasizing the natural lines of the abdominal muscles.

Depending on the individual findings, the procedure may involve standard liposuction or a more precise high-definition contouring technique to sculpt the transitions between the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and flanks. If a rectus diastasis is present, it can also be addressed during the same procedure.

At our practice in Frankfurt, the focus is not on the amount of fat removed, but on the quality of the resulting contour. The aim is a natural, athletic appearance that highlights existing musculature and harmonizes body proportions.

Abdominoplasty in Frankfurt

Redefining the midsection after significant weight loss.

A major weight loss is an exceptional achievement. However, a pronounced excess of skin in the abdominal area often remains. After strong stretching, the skin may not fully retract, even with stable weight and regular training.

Abdominoplasty in Frankfurt is performed to remove excess skin and reshape the midsection. The goal is a firm, proportionate silhouette that reflects the achieved weight and can also reduce functional discomfort.

If necessary, the procedure can be combined with liposuction to harmoniously sculpt the transitions.

At our practice in Frankfurt, we provide individualized consultations regarding the options, risks, and realistic outcomes of an abdominoplasty.
