Facelift in men

Over the last two decades there has been a steady increase in men asking for facial rejuvenation. Facelift remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation in men as in women, however, certain important differences should be taken into consideration:

• Location of the scars: Scars for facelift in men should be strategically placed to be completely hidden in front and behind the ears, taking into consideration that most men keep their hair short and have beards (whether they shave it or not)
• The technique used for facelifting in men are different than in women because the objectives can be different; Most men want to achieve very natural rejuvenation without having signs of surgical intervention.
• Deep plane facelift is the gold standard in men in order to provide a solid support to their heavier anatomy. Tension on the skin should be completely avoided so that scars can become invisible and results last for many years.
• The recovery from surgery in men and women is almost identical.
• Most men can go back to their desk work 10 days after the procedure.
