A lot of men deal with gynecomastia.
They just don’t talk about it.

This patient did, and documented the full experience: the nerves, the recovery, and the moment he felt relief.

If the gym hasn’t fixed it, it may not be “just fat.”
You’re not alone, and you’ve got options.

DM “CHEST” and we’ll send a quick overview.

Cosmetic surgery isn’t just for women.

More men are choosing procedures to:

• Treat gynecomastia (male breast enlargement)
• Refresh tired eyes with eyelid surgery
• Restore jawline definition with facelift procedures
• Improve body contour with liposuction
• Address excess skin or stubborn fat

The goal isn’t to look different.
It’s to look sharper. More defined. More confident.

Male facial and body anatomy requires a different approach, preserving masculine contours while creating natural results.

If you’ve been considering a procedure but weren’t sure where to start, education is the first step.

Schedule a consultation to learn what options may be right for you.

Individual results vary.

Does facelift surgery work better when combined with eyelid surgery?

Facial aging rarely affects just one area.
Loose skin along the jawline and neck often appears alongside drooping upper eyelids or under-eye fullness.

In this article, we explain:

• What a facelift truly addresses
• What eyelid surgery corrects
• Why combining procedures can create more balanced facial harmony
• How one recovery period can simplify the healing process

The goal is not to look “different.”
It’s to restore natural contours in a cohesive way from forehead to neck.

Every surgical plan is customized based on anatomy, skin quality, and long-term goals.

Patient update: 3 months after facial rejuvenation

In this video, a patient shares her experience at 3 months post-op after:
• Upper eyelid surgery
• Lower eyelid surgery
• Mini facelift

She also discusses something we emphasize often: healing is a process, and results continue to evolve for many months after surgery.

Most patients are still seeing changes at 3 months, and it’s common for refinement to continue as swelling settles and tissues mature.

Facial rejuvenation is not one-size-fits-all.

When patients come in for facial rejuvenation, there are typically two different surgical approaches, depending on the degree of neck laxity and facial descent.

In this video, Dr. Zavala explains:
• When a full facelift may be appropriate
• When a short-scar facelift may be an option
• Why incision placement matters
• How vertical facial elevation plays a key role in achieving natural-looking results

A natural outcome depends on lifting tissues upward, not pulling them to the sides. Surgical planning is based on anatomy, aging patterns, and long-term balance, which is not a standard technique used for everyone.

Every face is different. Proper evaluation determines the most appropriate approach.

Mommy Makeover recovery happens in stages — not overnight.

Understanding what healing looks like week by week helps patients plan realistically, manage expectations, and feel more confident throughout the process.

In this recovery guide, we outline:
• What the first week is typically like
• How energy, swelling, and mobility change over time
• When daily activities and exercise are usually reintroduced
• How results continue to develop in the weeks and months ahead

Because a Mommy Makeover may include multiple procedures, recovery requires patience, consistency, and proper guidance.

The journey doesn't start with the procedure. It starts with feeling understood.

In this testimonial, our patient shares her experience—from first-time nerves to a smooth recovery and the confidence she was looking for.

Every experience is unique.

That's why at Ciao Bella, we believe education, trust, and follow-up care are just as important as the procedure itself.

Mini vs. Regular Tummy Tuck — what’s the real difference?

A mini tummy tuck is designed for concerns mostly below the belly button and often uses a shorter, low incision.

A regular (full) tummy tuck typically treats the entire abdomen (upper + lower) for a more comprehensive contour—often including the belly button area as part of the correction.

✅ Best next step: a consult, because the right option depends on your anatomy, goals, and safety factors.

Tummy tuck and liposuction address different concerns — and in some cases, they may be combined.

A tummy tuck focuses on:
• Removing excess skin
• Tightening the abdominal muscles

Liposuction focuses on:
• Reducing localized fat
• Improving contour and proportion

When combined thoughtfully, these procedures may help improve overall body contour while addressing both structure and shape — depending on individual anatomy, health, and surgical goals.

In this article, our surgeons explain:
• When combining procedures may be considered
• Potential benefits of a combined approach
• Why patient evaluation and safety come first

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to body contouring.
Education and proper assessment are essential.
