Facelift

To reduce the visible signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance to your face, our male patients can expect natural-looking results with a facelift performed by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Sonya J. Merriman.

Facelift plastic surgery (medically termed a “rhytidectomy”) is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat, tighten underlying facial muscles, and reposition the skin and tissue so the face once again looks youthful – in the most natural way.

A facelift can enhance your natural attributes, remove wrinkles and frown lines, and give you a more youthful appearance. If you have excess fat or skin on your neck, then a neck lift may be combined with a facelift for an overall improvement to the facial profile.


Refreshing Your Appearance

Performed in Georgia by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya Merriman, facelift plastic surgery can help you look years younger, healthier, and more vital and alive. Our male patients choose to undergo facelift plastic surgery with Dr. Merriman for many different, very personal reasons, including:

  • To reduce visible signs of aging
  • To restore a more youthful appearance
  • To remove wrinkles and frown lines
  • To remove fat and tighten facial skin
  • To restore jawline definition
  • To feel more confident in appearance

Eyelid Lift

An eyelid lift can make you appear much younger, rested, and vital, shaving years off your appearance in a subtle way – when performed correctly. An eyelid lift will remove excess, sagging skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids to create a less puffy, more open and pleasant appearance to the eyes.

At her plastic surgery center in Valdosta, Georgia, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman is known for her ability to create a natural result in male patients in this delicate surgical procedure.

She takes a conservative approach, removing just enough skin and tissue to restore a natural, refreshed appearance – not the wide-eyed look that is the result of removing too much skin and tissue.


Achieving Your Goal Results

Upper eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Merriman has the added advantage of improving vision, particularly for men who are struggling with excessively saggy upper lids. An eyelid lift may be needed to address a limited field of vision if excess sagging skin is in the way. Many men choose to have an eyelid lift from Dr. Merriman for any of the following reasons:

  • Reduction of the puffy look around the eyes
  • Improved peripheral vision
  • A more open, appealing facial appearance
  • A more vibrant, youthful look
  • Reduction of loose, droopy eyelid skin or bags beneath the eyes

Achieving a Subtle, Natural Look: What Male Patients Can Expect

During your consultation with Dr. Merriman, she will discuss with you the precautions she takes to create a natural, youthful result – a concern for any patient, particularly men. They want to look younger, refreshed, and more vital – but have the results subtle and natural. Dr. Merriman, with her experience and refined skills, performs this delicate procedure to create a brighter, happier, and more open look for her male patients.

Having never been to a plastic surgeon before, I had no idea what to expect. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the treatment I received. I was made to feel comfortable the minute I walked in the door. The staff was unbelievable, and Dr. Merriman was fantastic. I was made to feel as if I had known them my entire life. The reason I give a 5-star rating is because I don't see a 10-star rating. lol. Thank you, ladies, so much for the service you provide and the manner in which you provide care.

Highly recommend Mrs. Sonya Merriman’s office. I had my breast augmentation done a couple of days ago, and I couldn’t ask for a better experience than the one I had! Everyone in the office is absolutely fantastic, definitely feel like family once you leave. Liz was great at going over everything with me before my consultation. Dr. Sonya came in and talked to me for a good 20 minutes and explained to me the different implants, what she would do, etc., asked for her opinion on my size, and I felt completely comfortable!! Kelley was my nurse, and she was great!! She helped answer any questions my husband and I had before I went back. Also, Dr. Sonya’s husband was the anesthesiologist and was so kind! He’s the last person I remember talking to before I was out, haha. I love how they call and check on you after your surgery, and if there is anything you may need. My recovery so far has been absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have done without their support and instructions on what to do after surgery. I highly recommend their office for everything ❤️ definitely will be back!

I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to get my procedure done with Dr. Merriman. I had breast augmentation six months ago (lift and implants). Initially, I felt apprehensive about the process. Fear of the unknown, I suppose. But at Valdosta Plastic Surgery, the process was laid out step-by-step. Everyone was kind, helpful, and made sure I received answers to any questions I may have. From the start, there were no surprises about costs or timelines. That was laid out nicely for me in the initial callback I received in response to my online consultation request. Dr. Merriman was sure to tell me about the risks and took the time during the initial office consultation to listen/look at my desired outcome. Again and again, I was reminded that if I had any questions, then I could reach out to Dr. Merriman directly after the surgery. They made me feel so comfortable that I reached out two times to ask a question. I received immediate responses. In the end, recovery was a piece of cake. Though Dr. Merriman will tell you that it is different for everyone. I thought the instructions I received for managing the recovery were spot on. It has now been 6 months since the surgery, and the outcome is better than everything I had hoped for. They are symmetrical, even, I have feelings in both nipples, and the size is exactly what I had hoped for. Interestingly, she used one size bigger than what was initially considered. I attribute that to Dr. Merriman's keen eye for aesthetics and high level of experience. She had seen what outcome I had envisioned, and during surgery, she fit me with the right size to achieve the look that I was hoping for. I am so glad that I decided on Valdosta Plastic Surgery. I highly recommend their office. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to get my procedure done with Dr. Merriman.

Brow Lift

Brow lift (also called a forehead lift) softens the deep creases across the forehead, reduces frown lines between the eyebrows, and can elevate drooping eyebrows – all common issues with her male patients.

When performing a brow lift at her fully-accredited plastic surgery center in Valdosta, Georgia, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman brings her skill and experience to help men restore a very natural, more youthful appearance.


A Heavy Brow and Vision

Excess skin on the upper brow can sag and droop, causing the eyelids to become heavy and droopy, impairing vision and giving the face an older—or even angry —appearance. A subtle change in the position of the brows can result in a brighter, more youthful look that is natural and balanced. Men come to Dr. Merriman for brow lift surgery as they trust her surgical skills to repair any of the following aesthetic problems:

  • Excess loose skin drooping onto the upper eye
  • Deep creases on the forehead
  • Heavy frown lines between the brows
  • Improved vision
  • A more vibrant, refreshed, youthful appearance

Look Refreshed and Youthful: Exploring Brow Lift Surgery with Dr. Merriman

In your private consultation with Dr. Merriman, she will discuss your concerns and fully explain the details about a brow lift, what to expect in the procedure and recovery, and the final appearance. Heavy, drooping brows, deep creases and lines across the forehead, or obvious frown lines between the brows often plague men. This surgery can achieve a remarkable improvement, leaving you looking refreshed, well-rested, vital, and far younger. Find out more by meeting with Dr. Merriman in a private consultation.

Chin Augmentation (Genioplasty) for Men

If you are one of the many men who are genetically programmed to have a receding chin, chin augmentation surgery can greatly enhance the basic structure of your face. At her plastic surgery center in Valdosta, Georgia, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman uses silicone implants to create a more attractive and harmonious, masculine strength and balance to your face. Many male patients come to Dr. Merriman from the South Georgia region for chin augmentation surgery, as they know her reputation for excellence and ability to produce an attractive chin structure, perfectly crafted for the individual patient.


Receding Chin: Give Your Facial Structure a Masculine Strength and Appeal

A recessive chin can make the mouth turn down at the corners, leaving you looking unhappy, depressed, or angry when your face is in repose. Chin augmentation (implant) plastic surgery can be used to create a more balanced proportion to your face, resolving the appearance of a small or receding chin. A chin implant, for some men, could help smooth and lift the appearance of jowls and the hanging tissue on the neck. Men choose to undergo chin augmentation plastic surgery from Dr. Merriman for some of the following reasons:

  • To create a better balance among facial features
  • To strengthen and resolve the appearance of a receding chin
  • To diminish the appearance of jowls and hanging tissue in the neck
  • To gain a more youthful and vibrant appearance

Chin Augmentation Consultations with Dr. Merriman

A private consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman at her plastic surgery center in Valdosta will allow you to get your questions answered about chin augmentation surgery.

Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)

The term otoplasty refers to the reshaping or reforming or “pinning” of the ears. Most commonly, the procedure is performed to correct prominent ears by setting them back closer to the head. Each man’s ears are different, and the surgical procedure can correct several different ear conditions.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman brings her skill, experience, and training to performing ear surgery to help male patients, from teenagers to older men who have dreamed for years about resolving protruding ears.

For male children, large or protruding ears often lead to teasing or name-calling, which can make school difficult, sad, or painful, and reduce self-confidence in adulthood. Fortunately, this is a problem that can be easily corrected once a boy’s ears grow to their full size, usually between five and six years of age.


Addressing Your Concerns

Men choose to undergo ear surgery (or bring their children for the procedure) for some of the following reasons:

  • To set prominent or protruding ears closer to the head
  • To reduce the size of large ears
  • To create a more pleasing ear shape by reducing the size of the earlobes
  • To feel more comfortable with your appearance

Dr. Merriman performs ear surgery on men, with every procedure customized to match individual needs. If you have large, protruding ears, there is no need to live with this problem if it bothers you. The surgery is not long to perform, but the results can be truly life-changing.

A Personal Consultation with Dr. Merriman

In a private consultation with Dr. Merriman, you will learn about the procedure and what to expect if you are ready to correct the appearance of your ears – or have a son with this problem. She will answer all your questions and concerns fully. Trust and rapport are an important part of achieving a result that serves to greatly improve your quality of life. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Merriman has the skills and experience you want for ear surgery. Call today.

Liposuction for Men

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes deposits of excess fat from specific areas of the body, face, or neck. At her plastic surgery center in Valdosta, Georgia, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman performs liposuction for men to resculpt the body for a more athletic, youthful look or remove excess fat lingering below the chin. In Valdosta, at her plastic surgery center, Dr. Merriman performs liposuction to help men with stubborn fatty deposits that just won’t go away, no matter how much they diet and exercise. When liposuction is performed on a fatty neck and double chin, you will appear far more fit, youthful, and attractive. Liposuction performed by Dr. Merriman allows you to outsmart nature and have the body shape you want – not what your genetic code has in mind.


Sculpting a Masculine Physique

Our male patients choose to undergo liposuction plastic surgery for many different reasons, including:

  • To correct disproportionate body-fat distribution
  • To remove stubborn fat deposits from the abdomen, neck, flanks, and back
  • To regain a more youthful appearance
  • To feel confident in tighter clothing
  • To appear more athletic
  • To improve self-esteem and confidence

For this procedure, Dr. Merriman uses a specialized instrument called a micro-cannula to make tiny incisions through which localized fat deposits can be gently removed. The types of liposuction treatments for men offered at her Valdosta clinic include tumescent and ultrasound liposuction, each plastic surgery-based and used for different areas of the body. Look your best with the help of liposuction – performed with the most advanced, safe equipment and technology.

Personal Consultation

With her experience and training as a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Merriman will discuss your concerns and explain the details of liposuction during a private, personal consultation at her plastic surgery center in Valdosta. With her goal of achieving trust and rapport with each of her male patients, you will feel comfortable and able to discuss your concerns openly and honestly. She has worked closely with many men who seek cosmetic treatments, including liposuction, and understands their concerns.

Male Breast Reduction

Many men feel self-conscious when they feel they have too much fat and tissue on the upper chest. An excess of male breast tissue has a medical name: gynecomastia. Thankfully, modern plastic surgery makes it possible to resolve gynecomastia – along with the emotional discomfort and embarrassment that comes with the condition.

Some men avoid certain physical activities or intimacy due to feelings of embarrassment about excessive breast tissue. At her plastic surgery center in Valdosta, Georgia, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman performs male breast reduction surgery to flatten and smooth the chest for a masculine, firm, fit appearance.


Assessing Your Condition

Enlarged male breasts are a very common condition, affecting 40 to 60 percent of the male population. A history of certain health problems, or the use of certain drugs (anabolic steroids, alcohol, estrogen medications, and many others) can contribute to an excess of breast tissue in men.

Male breast reduction is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and local anesthesia. Excess male breast tissue or fat can be removed with liposuction, excision, or a combination of the two. For some men, it will be necessary to tighten excess skin as well – everyone is different.

Achieve a Flatter, Masculine Chest with Dr. Merriman

If you are tired of hiding your chest and living with an excess of breast tissue, meet with Dr. Merriman at her plastic surgery center in Valdosta. You can have all your questions answered about what to expect in the surgery and recovery. Ready for a trimmer upper chest, finally free of the appearance of larger male breasts? Dr. Merriman can create a firmer, flatter, masculine chest to free you from this embarrassing condition.

Laser Hair Removal

If you are one of the many men who are plagued by an excess of hair on the back, arms, or other body areas, laser hair removal is the perfect answer to your problem.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sonya J. Merriman offers the elōs^(™) hair removal system to her male clients who want to have a smoother, hair-free back, chest, or other area of the body.


Non-Invasive, Effective Hair Removal in Valdosta

Laser hair removal has become a very popular, non-surgical method for hair removal. It is a non-invasive, easily-tolerated method to reduce hair growth.

Modern Technology for Hair Removal With Long-Lasting Results

The target hair follicles are preheated by using optical energy, which creates a thermal path on which the bi-polar radio frequency (RF) travels. RF is delivered directly to the hair follicle. The buildup of current within the follicle causes it to lose the ability to produce hair. Want a smooth chest, back, arms, or other area? Talk to us about laser hair removal – imagine life without constantly worrying about the appearance of an unattractive over-abundance of hair where you don’t want it. We offer a private consultation at our Valdosta clinic for men who are ready to do something effective about unwanted hair. We also serve patients in Douglas, Thomasville, Lake City, and Madison.

Confidence starts with a conversation.

Meet with us and discover a clinic where we focus on creating natural-looking results in every procedure.
