What Men Are Actually Asking For
Most of the men who come through our door aren't trying to look like someone else. They want to look like a better-rested, less tired version of themselves — sharper jawline, fuller hairline, a nose that doesn't dominate the rest of the face. Dr. Doshi treats male aesthetic surgery as its own discipline, not a smaller version of what's done for women. The brow sits lower and flatter on a man's face. The nasal dorsum is usually kept straighter and a little stronger. Jawlines are built up, not softened. Those are deliberate calls made during planning, not an afterthought on a female-oriented technique.
That distinction shows up most clearly in two areas of this gallery: hair restoration and eyelid and brow work.
Hair Restoration: Why the Technique Matters More Than the Marketing
The majority of the hair transplants shown here were done using follicular unit extraction (FUE) with sub-millimeter punches — typically 0.8 to 0.9mm — rather than the older strip method that leaves a single linear scar across the back of the scalp. Roughly 80% of the hair transplants Dr. Doshi performs now are FUE; the remaining cases are FUT, usually because a patient already has an existing strip scar and extending it is a better option than starting a second donor site, or because shaving the donor area isn't practical for that patient's life or job.
The harder part isn't extracting the grafts, it's deciding how many to use and where. Dr. Doshi is deliberately conservative about donor supply: rather than harvesting aggressively to maximize density in one sitting, he plans around what a patient's hair loss is likely to look like years from now, so there's still donor hair in reserve if more is needed later. He also looks at hairline angulation and density relative to the surrounding native hair on an individual basis — the goal is a hairline that doesn't read as "a hair transplant" at a normal conversational distance, not maximum graft count on a spreadsheet.
Patients are followed for a full year after surgery, and Dr. Doshi sees every follow-up visit and removes sutures himself rather than routing that to a physician assistant. For men where hair loss is tied to a medical history — chemotherapy regrowth patterns, scarring from a prior injury, or a previous surgery elsewhere that didn't heal the way it should have — he'll also coordinate with the patient's primary care physician before any procedure is scheduled.

Eyelid and Brow Surgery for a Masculine Result
Lower eyelid surgery is one of the more technically unforgiving procedures in this gallery, and it's also one where the male-specific approach matters most. Dr. Doshi uses a transconjunctival approach for most lower blepharoplasty — working from the inside of the eyelid rather than cutting across the outer skin — which avoids the visible external scar and reduces the risk of ectropion (where the lower lid pulls down and outward), a known complication of the older external-incision technique. Fat is typically repositioned rather than removed outright, since hollowing under the eye tends to read as more tired, not less.
Brow position is planned differently for male patients than female ones: a flatter, lower brow reads as natural and masculine, where the same lift used on a female patient would look arched and feminized on a man's bone structure. This is decided case-by-case based on a patient's existing brow shape and forehead proportions, not applied as a fixed formula.

Rhinoplasty, Facelift, and Neck Surgery for Men
Rhinoplasty, facelift, and hair restoration make up a similar share of Dr. Doshi's overall practice — none is treated as the "headline" procedure, because the right plan depends entirely on what a given patient's anatomy and goals call for. In male rhinoplasty, the aim is usually to preserve or slightly strengthen the dorsal line rather than narrow it aggressively, since an overly refined, narrow nose can look out of place on a stronger facial structure. For men considering a deep plane facelift or neck lift, the deeper surgical plane sits close to the facial nerve and major vessels in the neck, which is why Dr. Doshi performs these personally from consultation through every post-operative visit rather than delegating any part of aftercare.
For patients who've had prior facial surgery elsewhere, existing scar tissue changes the anatomy and the risk profile of a revision. Dr. Doshi reviews these cases individually and is selective about which revision cases he takes on — not every prior result can be safely improved, and an honest conversation about what's realistic happens before any surgery is scheduled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is male facial plastic surgery different from a standard technique?
Bone structure, skin thickness, and brow position differ between male and female patients, and the surgical plan accounts for that from the start — this isn't a female-oriented technique scaled down for a man's face.
Do you perform FUE or FUT hair transplants?
Both, decided case by case. FUE (sub-millimeter punch extraction) is used in the large majority of cases; FUT is sometimes preferable for patients who already have a prior strip scar or who can't shave the donor area.
Will a lower eyelid procedure leave a visible scar?
Most lower blepharoplasty is performed through an inside-the-eyelid (transconjunctival) incision, which avoids an external scar on the skin.
How long does hair transplant follow-up last?
Patients are followed for a full year after surgery, with Dr. Doshi personally handling suture removal and every follow-up visit.
Do you take on revision cases from other surgeons?
Yes, selectively. Each case is reviewed individually before a recommendation is made, since prior scar tissue and anatomy affect what can safely be improved.
What's the first step to find out if I'm a candidate?
Start with a consultation, in person or via video consultation for patients traveling from outside the New York area.
