Whereas more women than men endure facelift procedures, men still make up 15% to 20% of the facelift population. Men are nearly exclusively bothered by a 'neck waddle' and usually think about a facelift at an older age than girls when this waddle is a lot more significant.

Whereas more women than men endure facelift procedures, men still make up 15% to 20% of the facelift population. Men are nearly exclusively bothered by a 'neck waddle' and usually think about a facelift at an older age than girls when this waddle is a lot more significant. One in all the keys to facelifting in men is not too overdo it. I have see many men who have had a facelift and they look a little unnatural at best and some even look additional effeminate. I am sure this can not be, what they were seeking from the procedure. A subtle improvement for men is better than an overdone dramatic one. Men, understandably, are particularly skiddish about having had a facelift.

From a designing and technical standpoint, the male facelift patient differs from the feminine in one vital way....hair. The quantity and style of scalp hair and therefore the presence of beard skin changes many aspects of the operation. The position of the incisions and their eventual obscurity is of importance. Like all facelifts, the first and most important goal is to minimize scars that are difficult to find. Irrespective of how great the neck and jowl result's, or how long the result may last, poor and visible scarring will destroy the entire operation. I have yet to find a patient who needs to advertise that they have had a facelift. (although some results that they've got scream that they have!)

Men have beards which offer a plus and a disadvantage. The upward-disappearing sideburn that may occur in ladies with a facelift (the tuft of hair in front of the ear gets higher) is not an issue for most men. When their existing sideburn gets higher when surgery, they merely begin shaving lower regaining the lost sideburn. Most men should even start before facelift surgery in growing longer sideburns so they can be at a traditional level once surgery. The disadvantages are that the incision in front of the ear must stay...in front of the ear. It can not be placed partially inside the ear as in girls (called retrotragal) as a result the beard skin can necessitated into the ear which is both a nuisance and not natural looking. In addition, because of the direction of pull behind the ear during a facelift, some beard skin will finish up behind the ear necessitating shaving this area. As long as men are advised of this possibility and after surgery requirement, I have not seen it to be a problem.

One final thought on male facelift results.....men don't typically get a particularly dramatic result. Their skin usually stretches additional than a woman's making it tough (and unnecessary) to create a brilliant sharp neck angle. They're also susceptible to more settling or some 'relapse' after surgery due to their thicker heavier skin. As already mentioned, however, men are sometimes not curious about spectacular changes however like less obvious ones. This may be the foremost vital key to the male facelift patient.
