Men

Male Facelift

Overview

Men are seeking facial plastic surgery to regain an energetic look without losing their unique features.

Men experience the same natural aging processes as women, and more and more men are seeking to enhance their appearance through a male facelift. Although they share the motivation to address signs of aging, the results they seek are often different: they want subtle changes that preserve their masculine identity and maintain their distinctive features.

The primary goal of a male facelift is to turn back the clock without making the results look obvious or artificial. That’s why it is essential to rely on a surgeon who specializes in male aesthetic surgery — someone capable of achieving a natural, discreet rejuvenation tailored to the unique characteristics of each patient.

 

If you are considering a male facelift to refresh your appearance, at IMAGN Institute we have specialists in male facial rejuvenation who will help you achieve a firm, youthful, and authentic result.

The team of board-certified plastic surgeons of IMAGN INSTITUTE can help you achieve your goals for subtle, understated improvements that create a naturally younger looking face.

Are You a Candidate for a male facelift?

A surgical male facelift for men may be the right choice for you if you are concerned about any of the following:

  • Skin laxity that leads to the formation of jowls along the jawline
  • Loss of volume in the midface that causes hollowing under the cheeks
  • Submental fat underneath the chin and loose skin on the front of the neck
Our team of board-certified surgeons will carefully evaluate your situation to determine whether a male facelift is the right surgical choice for you.

Male Facelift Considerations

Incisions and Hairlines

While incisions for a female facelift are made around the ear and in the hairline, this placement does not work for men due to their facial hair. Our surgeons, expert in male facelifts, will place the incisions to ensure a natural facial hairline, as well as normal positioning of sideburns. Incisions will be carefully integrated to minimize any visible scarring after your procedure. At the same time, we know that a man’s skin tends to be thicker and more vascular, so specific male-oriented facelift techniques are used to make your procedure both safe and effective while achieving your specific aesthetic goals.

Focus of a facelift surgery for men

Men are not as concerned as women with smoothing away all the lines and creases that give them a more distinguished look. However, they do worry that jowl formation along the jawline interferes with their strong, masculine profile. Sagging skin around the neck is also a common worry for men, but they want the result of surgery to correct the “turkey wattle” without compromising the integrity of the lower face.

The Recovery Process

There is some swelling and bruising after a male facelift, but discomfort is typically minimal with this procedure. You will be sent home with detailed instructions on how to minimize side effects and care for your incisions during the early days after your procedure. While men usually feel ready to return to activities within a week or so, some choose to wait a bit longer to ensure that signs of the surgery have completely subsided.

The results of your male facelift will be evident right after surgery and will continue to improve as your face heals fully. Your refreshed appearance should extend for a number of years, particularly if you protect your skin from the sun, and use high-quality skin care products. Over time, you may begin to see aging symptoms creep in once again, prompting you to seek additional treatments to maintain your masculine younger look.

Frequently Asked Questions about male facelift

A male facelift, also known as a male facial rejuvenation surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck specifically for men. This technique removes excess skin, tightens facial muscles, and redistributes fat to achieve a younger, more natural, and masculine appearance.

The cost of a male facelift varies depending on several factors, such as the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and the clinic where the procedure is performed. At IMAGN Institute, we offer a personalized evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment plan and provide a detailed and tailored quote.

A mini male facelift is a less invasive version of a full facelift, recommended for men with mild to moderate signs of aging. It offers faster recovery times. In contrast, a full male facelift addresses deeper wrinkles and more significant sagging across the face and neck, delivering a comprehensive rejuvenation.

The price of a mini male facelift depends on the complexity of the procedure and the specific needs of each patient. During an initial consultation at IMAGN Institute, we will provide a customized quote tailored to your case.

Scars from a male facelift are minimal and strategically hidden in less visible areas, such as behind the ears or within the hairline. Over time, these scars become nearly imperceptible, preserving a natural and discreet result.

Recovery after a male facelift varies depending on the technique used, but most patients can resume their daily activities within 10 to 14 days. Some swelling and bruising are normal in the initial days but will gradually subside.

The results of a male facelift can last for many years, especially when combined with good skincare habits and a healthy lifestyle. Although the natural aging process continues, the face will maintain a younger and firmer appearance for a long time.

After a male facelift, most patients experience a mild sensation of tightness, but any discomfort is generally manageable with prescribed pain medication.

At IMAGN Institute, we specialize in male facelift procedures, utilizing advanced techniques to achieve natural, masculine, and personalized results. Our expert surgeons prioritize safety, precision, and patient satisfaction, ensuring a high-quality and tailored experience for every patient.
