botox man

Imagine having 20/20 vision without the need for glasses or contacts. Dr. Daniel Haddad, board-certified ophthalmologist, has been performing LASIK eye surgery for 10 years and was the first doctor in Michigan to use Custom Wavefront LASIK, which creates a unique “fingerprint” of your eye for the best possible vision correction results. There are different types of LASIK available for various vision problems. Call for prices. The Laser Eye Institute, Troy; 248-680-7400.

If someone you know would appreciate a brighter smile, send them to expert cosmetic dentist Alan Grodin in Clawson. The Zoom bleach system is an in-office bleaching peroxide applied directly to the teeth in three to four 15-minute sessions. Patients are in and out of the office in about two hours, and leave with fitted trays and take-home bleach to continue whitening in private quarters. A big confidence booster. $500; 248-288-1110.

Interested in Botox? According to Dr. Steven Morris’s office, the bridge of the nose and the area between the eyebrows is a common Botox zone for men. There’s a reason the wrinkle-diminishing nonsurgical procedure is so talked about. It softens the muscles that cause creases, and it’s fast, effective, and virtually painless. The injections take only seconds. However, you do need sessions every few months to maintain results. A typical bridge-of-the-nose session costs about $300 at the offices of Dr. Steven Morris in Birmingham. 248-593-5533.

Cosmetic surgery is an increasingly popular way to transport your body back to its youth and boost your self-confidence. Eyelid surgery and liposuction are popular options among men — think droopy eyes, love handles, and bulging bellies. Eyelid surgery costs between $4,000 and $6,000. Patients with a non-physically demanding job are generally back to work in a week. For more information, call Dr. Richard Hainer at North Oakland Plastic Surgery in Rochester Hills, 248-601-4240.
