About Male Plastic Surgery

Most plastic surgeons treat men. Dr. Douglas Steinbrech built an entire practice around them.

That’s not a small difference. Male skin, male musculature, male fat distribution—none of it behaves the way a female patient’s does. The surgical planning is different. The filler placement is different. What a man is trying to walk out looking like is different. A practice that sees men as a subset of its patient population is working from a completely different set of assumptions than one that was built for them from day one.

Male Plastic Surgery has three locations—New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Every patient who walks through any of those doors is a man. That’s been true since the beginning, and it shapes everything about how the practice operates.


About Dr. Steinbrech

Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, plastic surgeon specializing in male plastic surgery

Forbes referred to Dr. Steinbrech as the “go-to surgeon for men.” Cosmetic Surgery Insider called him “one of the most trusted surgeons among male celebrities.” He’s also the surgeon featured in the Amazon Prime documentary Skin Deep, where he performed complex body contouring work on a patient who had lost more than 300 pounds—the kind of case that requires both technical precision and a genuine understanding of what a patient has been through to get there.

Dr. Steinbrech is board-certified and has trained and given talks all across the globe. He is specifically certified by the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. But the credential that defines his practice isn’t a certificate on a wall. It’s the three proprietary procedures he developed specifically for male patients.

BodyBanking® is a fat transfer technique built around male physiology. Rather than removing unwanted fat and discarding it, the procedure redistributes it to create a more muscular, defined male frame. It treats the body as a resource, not a problem.

Male Model Makeover® is a facial filler protocol designed around male facial structure—the proportions, the angles, and the features that define an attractive male face rather than a generic one. The technique accounts for the fact that what makes a woman’s face beautiful and what makes a man’s face striking are not the same thing.

TorsoTuck® addresses the midsection in a way that standard procedures don’t. Designed specifically for male patients, it targets excess skin and stubborn fat along the torso to create a cleaner, more defined male silhouette.


Three Cities. One Standard.

New York City is where the practice started. It’s still home base—the location where Dr. Steinbrech has spent the bulk of his career and where the reputation that eventually spread nationally was built.

Los Angeles serves the West Coast. Same clinical protocols, same patient population, same results.

Chicago brought male-specific plastic surgery to the Midwest for patients who had previously been flying to New York or LA to get the level of specialized care they were looking for.

Each office runs the same way. The standard doesn’t change by zip code.

Meow Meow; My name is Mickey and I'm the black cat that came in Friday 2 weeks ago. I asked to get a procedure done but Dr Steinbrech said he wasn't licenced to practice on cats so he gave me a referral to another practice. Great guy and awesome staff 😸 Meow Hiss Hiss, Mickey 🐈‍⬛

Dr. David was absolutely wonderful with my 4-year-old daughter. He took the time to make her feel comfortable while checking her nose and was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle throughout the visit. He made such a positive impression on her that after the appointment, she actually started pretending her nose was bothering her just so she could go back and see him again! As a parent, that says everything about how caring and approachable he is with his patients . We're so grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend Dr. David to anyone looking for a doctor who truly connects and cares about his patients and makes them feel at ease

I'm interested in scheduling an evaluation appointment. Should I send you a DM or do you have a direct link? I was recommended this clinic as being the most professional and well-prepared for this!

Absolutely the best plastic surgery clinic! From complex revisions to petty procedures, Line is perfection. I visited Line Plastic Surgery through a friend's recommendation and had a consultation with Emily, the consultant. I was looking into getting a body lipo revision surgery due to a poorly done procedure at another clinic in the past. I ended up getting the revision surgery with Dr. Regoza. Since I'm not in my 20s anymore, I was really worried that the skin on my arms would sag after the liposuction. That’s when Emily highly recommended a skin-tightening laser called 'J-Plasma.' It has been 6 weeks since my surgery, and there is zero sagging—instead, my skin is so firm and my body line looks amazing. I am incredibly satisfied! On top of that, I had philtrum reduction, breast/areola reduction, and belly button surgery with Dr. Yaho. Since these are very delicate and specialized areas, I was naturally nervous, but the results are a 200% satisfaction rate. My friends are so envious of my new body line that I’ve already referred a few of them to this clinic. Honestly, I’ve had quite a few surgeries and procedures done here and there, but Line is the first clinic that has left me completely satisfied in every single aspect. The interior is beautiful, the customer service is top-notch, and their aftercare system is absolutely flawless. Not only for major surgeries, but they also do an amazing job with petty procedures like Botox, Rejuran, and fillers. The doctors are so meticulous that I visit the clinic almost too often—even my boyfriend is starting to complain and playfully joke about how much time I spend here! If you are stressing over a body revision surgery or any high-difficulty procedures, please don't waste your time elsewhere. Go see Emily and teak mira doctors at Line. I highly, highly recommend them!

Always super professional but relaxed. Takes away the scariness of trying new treatments. I always see Sukh before doing anything on camera & he has the best ideas for my skin and always conservative in what he applies which I appreciate. Never feels like a cash grab.

If I could give Dr. Steinbrech and his team 10 stars, I absolutely would. From my very first consultation through my recovery, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Dr. Steinbrech is not only an exceptionally talented surgeon, but he is also genuinely caring, professional, and attentive to his patients. His reputation as a nationally recognized surgeon is well deserved, and after working with him personally, I can see why patients travel from all over to be under his care. One of the things that impressed me most was his availability and commitment to his patients. Even after surgery, Dr. Steinbrech was accessible, responsive, and took the time to answer questions and ensure I was progressing properly. That level of care and dedication gave me tremendous confidence throughout the entire process. The staff in all three office locations were equally outstanding. Every interaction was welcoming, professional, and supportive. The team consistently made me feel valued and cared for, and they helped make what could have been a stressful experience feel comfortable and seamless. The pricing was fair and competitive, especially considering the level of expertise, care, and results I received. Most importantly, I am extremely happy with my results. Dr. Steinbrech listened to what I wanted, set realistic expectations, and delivered exactly what we discussed. The outcome has exceeded my expectations, and I could not be more pleased with my decision. I highly recommend Dr. Steinbrech and his entire team to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. The combination of world-class skill, exceptional patient care, and outstanding results is truly hard to find.

I can’t recommend Dr. Steinbrech and his team enough. After losing over 50 pounds as a teenager, I’ve battled excess skin around my lower abdomen. No matter how much time I spent in the gym, it was impossible to obtain a flat abdomen. Dr. Steinbrech finally solved that problem for me. I wish I had done this years ago. His team was supportive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

I have a long history of working with Dr. Steinbrech. In 2019, I traveled to New York specifically to see him before he had an office in Chicago. Since opening an office here, I have had multiple procedures (typically one every winter) and I have been very pleased with the results. Dr. Steinbrech has helped fix issues I had with previous surgeries from other doctors and has helped me to maximize my own personal aesthetic goals. I have repeatedly recommended friends to him and they have all been pleased with their results. Dr. Steinbrech understands the male form and I look forward to continue working with him.

If you are looking for a plastic surgeon that specializes in male patients in Chicago, look no further. The Dr, staff, and surgical center were all excellent. I’m still only 2wks post op but the results this far have exceed my best case expectations.
