Benefits Beyond Appearance with Male Model Makeover
The Male Model Makeover isn’t just about emulating the aesthetics of top models—it’s about instilling self-assuredness and capturing that ineffable allure models exude. It’s a harmonious blend of confidence, charisma, and chiseled looks that can revolutionize self-perception.
Sculpted Physique
Shape your body into a masterpiece, radiating confidence and style.
Enhanced Facial Features
Turn heads with refined, model-esque facial contours and sharpness.
Boosted Self-Esteem
Embrace every room, every photograph, with newfound charisma and assurance.
The modeling industry is fiercely competitive and requires near-perfection of a man’s physical features as he represents prestigious brands around the world. While this line of work requires men to be health-conscious, diet and exercise alone are not always enough to achieve ideal face and body contouring.
Good genetics play a role in some of the necessary requirements for looks, but cosmetic medicine can also help men obtain the competitive edge necessary for the modeling industry. New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Douglas S. Steinbrech’s Male Model Makeover can help men achieve their ideal image whether they are prospective or current male models or otherwise seeking the attributes of this physically elite group of men.
The Male Model Makeover™ is a specialized male plastic surgery technique that encompasses various plastic surgery procedures to provide male model patients with an amazing, well-sculpted masculine result while downplaying any facial flaws. The entire procedure includes gluteal (buttock) enhancement, pectoral implants, liposuction for those wanting gladiator abs, BodyBanking, and/or others depending on what Dr. Steinbrech recommends during your initial male plastic surgery consultation. Forearm implants are also available for those wanting further symmetry.

Before Male Model Makeover: Physical Characteristics of Male Models
The ideal male model has a masculine appearance and slender body with aesthetically pleasing contours of the face and body. Male sex hormones contribute to a man’s appearance, including secondary sex characteristics such as face shape with typically angular lines, as well as an increase in overall muscle mass. Male cosmetic surgery seeks to enhance these traits, providing more emphasis on specific areas of the face and form.
Dr. Steinbrech offers several options that can provide the physical benefits requested by these men. Common procedures that are part of the male model transformation include jaw augmentation, liposuction, pec enhancement, and gluteal enhancement. They effectively alter regions that may be difficult to address without medical intervention and can lead to a greater definition of the overall appearance.

An In-depth Look At Male Model Makeover
Jaw Augmentation
While a weak jawline can be enhanced through different measures to enhance facial features, a popular option is through the use of cosmetic injections. Dermal fillers can create a more angled jaw, slightly altering the face shape by creating a more masculine appearance to the lower face and chin. By altering this area of the face, the rest of the body benefits by appearing more muscular. In addition to strategically adding non-invasive facial fillers around the jawbone, Dr. Steinbrech can also sculpt the cheeks and fill the tear trough below the eyes for a more complete facial rejuvenation. Jaw augmentation can also be performed through jaw implants and bone reconstruction, though these options may not best suit a male model’s desired aesthetics. Cosmetic injections (such as cheek fillers and lip fillers) provide natural results with a lower risk of complications and virtually no downtime.
Pec Enhancement
The male equivalent to breast implant surgery, pectoral implants are the solution for an ill-defined upper chest. Also referred to as “high-def model pec enhancement,” these chest prostheses provide an ultra-athletic appearance to the upper body. In some men, the pecs may be resistant to different exercises, and one’s physique can be improved through their enlargement. Unlike female breast implants, pec implants have a muscular feel and do not contain a filling. The surgery is discreet as incisions can be hidden in the underarms, and the pecs will continue to function as normal.
Liposuction
Dr. Steinbrech’s high-definition liposuction procedure (“hi-def lipo”) targets specific areas of the face and body to remove unwanted fat, which highlights a man’s musculature, providing gladiator-like abs. The doctor can remove bulk from the chin, cheeks, and neck and also sculpt the jaw. By ridding these areas of extra fatty tissue, the bone structure becomes more apparent, creating a chiseled look. As men age, they tend to accumulate fatty deposits around the waist, abdomen, and hips, rounding out their midsection. Liposuction will help to carve out six-pack abs and defined pelvic lines that will appear to have been achieved through rigorous workouts rather than at the doctor’s office. Other areas Dr. Steinbrech often tends to in his male model patients are the areas below the abdomen including the buttocks, thighs, and knees. Men who seek larger-looking biceps can undergo liposuction of the upper arms as well.
Once healed from the cosmetic procedure, liposuction can achieve amazing, figure-shaping results that would take men months to obtain naturally, if possible at all. It is often the case that men seek fat removal when their fit lifestyle has not produced their desired results. Liposuction provides permanent fat removal, and patients can maintain the results by continuing to live healthy lives.
Gluteal Enhancement
The buttocks are essentially an extension of the legs, and as the midway point halfway up the body, they help to shape one’s backside. Men who are dissatisfied with the look of their buttock area can increase the size and alter the shape of each cheek through a plastic surgery procedure performed by Dr. Steinbrech.
Once thought of as a female-specific enhancement, the male model patient and other men seeking to improve the shape of their butt have two options to enlarge the feature: buttock implants or a fat transfer to the area. Gluteal implants are composed of semi-soft silicone that will look and feel like a natural gluteus muscle. The doctor can provide a custom-fit implant that will function in harmony with the patient’s own anatomy. Gluteal enhancement patients can also undergo the two-part procedure of fat grafting if they are not candidates or prefer not to have implants placed. First, in the gluteal enhancement procedure, fat is harvested from the body through a liposuction procedure. Extra fat is removed from the body, then purified and reintroduced to the buttocks through injection or a mini cannula (the suctioning device used in liposuction, which also has a reverse function).
The Cost of Male Model Makeover
The Male Model Makeover with Dr. Steinbrech ranges from $6,000 to $10,000. The overall cost varies depending on the number and complexity of the procedures included, such as jawline enhancement, liposuction, and others. Additional expenses, including anesthesia and surgical facility fees, also contribute to the total cost. It is important to discuss all aspects of the costs and procedures with Dr. Steinbrech before making any decisions to ensure a clear understanding of the financial commitment and expected outcomes.
Complementary Procedures With A Male Makeover
Male models understand that symmetry is not only important for people to be considered attractive, but it also matters in any modeling career. Male faces may be blown up on billboards, featured in magazines, and used as the main feature at fashion shows. Injectable fillers offer a great way to produce symmetry and correct minor imperfections such as acne scars. Non-surgical rhinoplasty (or liquid rhinoplasty) includes a series of injections into the nose that can camouflage a nasal bump and straighten the nose. Dermal injections can also achieve fuller lips and contour the face.
Other men may show premature signs of aging in their 30s and 40s, and they can prolong their modeling careers by restoring youthful aspects to their faces. An upper or lower eyelift—also referred to as eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty surgery—can treat lines around the eyes and expose more of the upper eyelid, while Botox injections treat lines and wrinkles around the entire face.

Candidates For Male Model Plastic Surgery
While the above procedures are all commonly performed on male models, any man may be eligible for these cosmetic corrections. Patients should be healthy adults with fully grown features and no pre-existing conditions that would prevent aesthetic changes to certain areas of the face and body. Dr. Steinbrech will carefully review the male patient’s complete health history to ensure one can safely undergo a prescribed treatment plan. Aside from physical health, there is a mental health component that the doctor must assess when screening prospective male makeover patients. Because many cosmetic procedures create permanent changes to a person’s appearance, they should understand the risks and possible complications, as well as any limitations imposed by their anatomy.
