Facelift for Men

A rhytidectomy, or facelift, for men is a surgical procedure that alters and repositions facial tissue to resolve signs of aging in the midface and lower face. The goal of this surgery is to restore youthful, masculine facial contours.
Facelift for Men

What is a Male Facelift?

Only in more recent years has the facelift become a relatively common treatment among men. The rising popularity of the male facelift is, in part, a testament to the evolution of the facelift procedure.

In the past, surgical facelift techniques were limited and did little more than pull the skin taut and remove the excess. The outcome tended to be a windswept, stretched look. Facial features frequently appeared distorted, since the procedure only lifted the skin. Facelifts were associated with an “overdone” look that made the surgery particularly unappealing to men.

Fortunately, modern facelift techniques make it possible to achieve remarkable improvements in such a way that no one will know that you had facial plastic surgery unless you tell them. As a result, rhytidectomy has become a much more attractive option for male patients.

Special Considerations for the Male Facelift

Even though greater numbers of men are choosing to have facelift surgery, only a small number of plastic surgeons have the dedicated training, education, and experience to successfully execute a facelift for men. Male patients should be very discerning when choosing a surgeon to perform this procedure.

We have a refined approach to male facelift surgery that draws on knowledge of male facial anatomy and the angles and proportions associated with an attractive, masculine facial appearance. Some key factors that are considered when planning a male facelift procedure are:

Though the social stigma surrounding cosmetic enhancement for men is less pervasive than in the past, it is common for male patients to have heightened concerns about others knowing they had a cosmetic procedure.

A deep plane facelift is often ideal for male patients, as it repositions both the superficial muscular aponeurotic system layer of facial tissue and the skin. This approach is associated with more natural-looking outcomes than less advanced techniques.

The deep plane facelift is also particularly effective for correcting jowls in the lower face, which are one of the most prevalent concerns among male facelift patients.
