While the saying goes that your eyes are the gateway to your soul, they may also be the indicator of your age. As time progresses and your skin begins to lose its laxity, your eyelids begin to sag and droop into a tired and wrinkled shadow of what they were in your youth. While drinking lots of water and refraining from squinting may do some small part in keeping your eyes from aging, the only actual way to return the droopy skin around your eyes to its former youthful resilience is through eyelid surgery.
Eyelid surgery for men is often paired with a brow lift or other type of plastic surgery procedure available for men. Eyelid surgery will not change the shape of your eyes but can help remove wrinkles by removing the excess skin around your eyes and tightening the upper and/or lower lids to help you appear younger and more alert.
You can ask Dr. Desai if eyelid surgery is right for you, or if you may require a different type of procedure to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Please learn more about plastic surgery procedures for men available at Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery, serving Saint Augustine and Jacksonville, Florida, or schedule an appointment for a consultation by contacting Dr. Ankit Desai, Florida cosmetic surgeon, today.

A facelift can have one of the biggest impacts on your appearance after a certain age. Not only can facelifts help men look younger, but seeing a younger you in the mirror every morning can offer you the confidence you need to face every day with enthusiasm and confidence. One of the fastest growing procedures in popularity is facelifts for men.
A facelift simply tightens the muscles and loose skin of your face, which helps:
- Reduce lines
- Reduce sagging
- Decrease laxity
- Increase firmness
There are different types of facelifts available for men, and some of them require longer recovery periods than others. Unlike some procedures, such as liposuction, a facelift is a procedure that is difficult to recover from stealthily. A full facelift may require several weeks of recovery and visible marks.
However, a facelift is also likely to have the greatest positive impact on your appearance. To get an idea of the kind of improvement you may see from a facelift, consider researching before and after images. While a facelift can remove years off your appearance, when skillfully performed it will not change your actual appearance; you will still look like you.
You can learn more about facelifts for men in Jacksonville and Saint Augustine, Florida, and other available procedures on our plastic surgery for men page, or contact Dr. Desai to learn more or to schedule a consultation.

When men consider the options available to them through plastic surgery, many overlook procedures that can have a big impact without headlining the plastic surgery world. Neck lifts are one type of procedure that may not leap to mind, but that can have a remarkable impact on your appearance. Many men consider facelifts, but forget that their necks can dictate how the shape of the jaws and chin appear.
A neck lift for men is basically the same procedure as for women. The sagging skin of the neck is tightened, and the excess fat may be removed to create the appearance of a more sculpted, youthful neck. This helps define the jaw line and may create the appearance of weight loss in many cases, particularly with the removal of sagging neck skin.
While you can have a neck lift as an individual procedure, many men request a neck lift in addition to a facelift or to chin or cheek implants. This is usually because a facelift affects only the face, not the neck, which is also affected and marked by aging.
You can learn more about our plastic surgery procedures for men when you contact Dr. Desai with questions or to make an appointment at the Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery serving Jacksonville and Saint Augustine, Florida and surrounding areas.

Medically known as abdominoplasty, the tummy tuck is a very popular cosmetic surgery that men and women of all ages are seeking out; though not everyone is a good candidate for this surgery, those who are tend to be thrilled with the results. Jacksonville, Florida board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ankit Desai, has performed this procedure on hundreds of patients; Dr. Desai even devised a procedure referred to as “lipoabdominoplasty.” In this procedure, Dr. Desai improves the appearance of the entire abdominal region by combining liposuction and abdominoplasty, hence the name lipoabdominoplasty.
There are basically two types of tummy tucks performed at the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery:
- Mini-abdominoplasty
- Full abdominolasty
As with any surgery, there are risks involved with a tummy tuck such as bleeding or infection; however, if you are in general health and follow Dr. Desai’s post-operative instructions to the letter, you should fully require and enjoy your new body in 1-3 weeks. Since each patient is unique, it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number of days or weeks you will need to recover. Tummy tucks are performed under general anesthesia and usually require a one-day hospital stay. Again, since each patient is unique, your stay in the hospital could be longer, though it’s rare.
With so many cosmetic surgery financing options available today, we are confident there is one to fit your budget.
If you live in or around the Jacksonville, Florida area and would like to learn more about tummy tuck surgery, please contact Dr. Ankit Desai today.

Sometimes fat just does not go away no matter how often we exercise and how well we stick to a healthy diet. Thankfully, there are alternatives to get rid of that stubborn fat that may be affecting your self-esteem and your overall health.
There is a procedure called “liposuction” that can be very effective in removing the fat deposits that diet and exercise could not. Though not all people are good candidates for this procedure, chances are if your health is good and you meet certain other requirements, board-certified Jacksonville, Florida cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ankit Desai, can perform liposuction on those troublesome areas of your body. Dr. Desai has performed this procedure on thousands of patients; typically, liposuction is performed on the:
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- “love handles”
- Calves
- Ankles
- Back
- Upper arms
- Breasts
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Desai will discuss the various options in liposuction he offers and explain which one is best for you and why. Liposuction can be performed under general or local. You will be instructed to wear compression garments for the first few weeks following your procedure. All incisions are less than one centimeter and will be virtually invisible to others.
Recovery from liposuction is fairly rapid. If you follow all post-procedure instructions, you should be up and around and back to work in no time. Since each patient is unique, it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number of days or weeks you will need to fully recover.
If you want liposuction and live in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra or anywhere in the surrounding area of Florida, please contact the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery today to schedule an appointment.

The decision to have any surgery is a big one that can never be taken lightly. Elective surgery, such as breast augmentation, requires just as much consideration, research, and faith in your surgeon as a surgery that is not elective.
Board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ankit Desai at the Desai Center of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery performs hundreds of breast augmentation procedures each year and firmly believes in educating his patients thoroughly prior to surgery, so they are fully aware of what to expect before, during and after breast implants are placed. There are many factors that must be taken into consideration when deciding if you are a good candidate for breast enlargement surgery. Not everyone is a good candidate, but most women over the age of 18 do qualify for this procedure. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Desai will discuss the various breast augmentation options with you and offer his opinion on which is best for you.
There are four different approaches Dr. Desai can take when performing breast augmentation. You will have one of the following:
- Periareolar – This procedure requires an incision around the nipple-areola area
- Inframammary – This incision is made at the base of the breast
- Transaxillary endoscopic augmentation mammoplasty – This procedure creates an incision within the armpit, and a camera is used to create a very precise pocket under the muscle for the implant
- TUBA (Transumbilical Breast Augmentation) – In this procedure, an incision is made around the belly button
Dr. Desai will discuss the pros and cons of each procedure with you during your consultation. He will also explain the different types of implants used (saline, silicone), and what your recovery will entail.
If you live in the Jacksonville, Florida area and are contemplating breast augmentation, please contact Florida cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ankit Desai, to discuss the many breast enhancement surgery choices available today.
