Alpha Male Plastic Surgery, a clinic offering a broad menu of elective procedures catering to the needs of the modern man.
On a coffee table in the waiting room, fanned-out brochures tout facelifts, non-surgical penile implants, and Tesamorelin – an FDA-approved peptide injection targeting stubborn visceral belly fat.
There’s something new on the menu: a state-of-the-art procedure that employs “cadaveric adipose tissue” – that is, fat harvested from a corpse.
A 2025 Gallup poll reported that about one in every eight Americans are now taking prescribed weight-loss drugs.
The rising popularity, and near ubiquity, of GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (branded as Mounjaro and Zepbound).
It seemed like these drugs could run plastic surgeons out of business, but in fact they have created a sizeable clientele of patients who have lost too much weight.
I ask an Alpha Male patient if, in a few weeks, when he starts getting compliments on his bulkier pecs and rock solid clavicular heads, he will feel comfortable telling people where they came from? He demurs bashfully, saying that he’s a happy person, and that he just wants to look and feel good. Without missing a beat, the doctor jumps in.
“He can say whatever he wants. He can say he went to the gym,” Steinbrech says. “What we want is to have it look natural. So that nobody would even ask that question.”
