Sun damage, genetics and skin elasticity all play a significant role in how men age. In many instances, patients who feel young and energetic on the inside experience sagging skin and wrinkles. In order to have their outer appearance match their inner vitality, many seek the services of Dr. Paul M. Gardner, Dr. Leopoldo M. Baccaro, and Dr. Jason Crespo
A lot of men are coming into Gardner Plastic Surgery because they want to do something about their face. They notice that they’re aging, they’re seeing increasing lines, they’re seeing folds that have developed, their eyelids are getting saggy and they want to do something so that they can look as good as they feel.
So, a lot of men are coming in for non-surgical options like Botox and fillers to help with the wrinkles and folds. For patients that have advanced and really want to tighten things up–maybe they got a little fat in their neck with some loose skin that they want to tighten up–they’re coming in for surgical options.
The most important thing for men and plastic surgery is to make sure they come out with a very natural result. Nobody wants to come in and look like they had something done, they just want to look better. What we focus on, whether it be surgical or non-surgical, is to make them look better and more youthful all without changing their appearance or making them look “done”. That’s very important to me.
Prior to every procedure, Dr. Gardner, Dr. Baccaro, and Dr. Crespo meet with their respective patients for a one-on-one consultation in order to determine their goals and expectations. The surgeon uses information gleaned from this consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help achieve these goals. In some instances, the surgeon may suggest that patients combine their facelift surgery with liposuction in order to remove fatty tissues along the jawline and into the neck, helping patients who suffer from a “double chin” appearance.
The surgeon typically begins the procedure by carefully making easily concealed incisions in front of and behind the ears. Next, the surgeon gently tightens loose skin and extracts excess tissue, artfully removing years or even decades of sagging and wrinkling.
Once Dr. Gardner, Dr. Baccaro, or Dr. Crespo complete a facelift surgery, they wrap patients in large, fluffy dressings to minimize swelling and encourage faster recovery periods. Patients require two weeks of recovery before engaging in normal daily activities, and full recovery typically takes about four to six weeks. Mini facelift patients can return to normal activities after just a few days.
As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk for complications, including infection. Drs. Gardner, Baccaro, and Crespo always review these risks with each patient prior to surgery, calling on their experience to help patients enjoy a healthy, pleasant recovery.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Crespo and the wonderful staff at Naples Plastic Surgery. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with a smile and attended to right away.

Thank you for putting us in touch with Dr. Crespo! He was so kind & seems like an incredible doctor/guy!
Certainly, the organization gets a 100% score. However, that score is contingent upon the individual providing the score.
As a concierge physician I can tell you that my patients have extremely high expectations. My personal expectations were similarly high, and were surpassed on all counts by the staff, and the quality of the perioperative… and operative experience. The office is immaculate and the communication skills of Dr. Gardner are outstanding.
I could not be happier, and more comfortable referring to this office. Read more “100% Score”
