Male Facelift

As with women, over the years, the skin loses its elasticity. The facial skin sags, jowls appear, and the face takes on a tired, sad appearance. Facial volumes shift and diminish, and the skin becomes lax.

Given the anatomical particularities of the male face -- thicker skin, heavier features, facial hair, and generally shorter hair than women -- concealing scars is more challenging than in women.

The male face, in the context of a facelift, requires particular techniques and thorough training by the surgeon to achieve a natural, harmonious effect with the least visible scarring possible.

The neck, often much more distended than in women, with prominent visible neck bands (platysmal bands) that worsen with age, frequently requires a complementary platysmoraphy.
