A facelift is a facelift regardless of gender but there are some considerations taken into account when performing a facelift on a male. Here at Visage Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Anand Patel specializes in customized plastic surgery treatments for the face and neck and can customize a male facelift for your goals.
Visible scarring is one concern, since men do not typically wear their hair long. Dr. Patel takes care to conceal incisions as much as possible. He uses the deep plane lift technique when performing facelifts and mini lifts to achieve the most natural looking results with minimal scarring.
To conceal the incision, he starts it along the sideburn hairline or within the sideburn, continuing around the natural curve of the ear before traveling along the edge of the tragus (the cartilage above the earlobe that extends back toward the ear canal).
Proper aftercare is essential for minimizing scarring. We offer guidance on how to take care of incision as well as skincare recommendations.
An emphasis on a strong jawline is also a common focus for males. We can combine the facelift with a neck lift to reduce jowls. This approach not only minimizes sagging skin and wrinkles, it also creates a more chiseled jawline. Some men with mild neck laxity can achieve this with a less invasive mini facelift.

"Dr. Patel was an easy choice for my procedure. I had gotten a quote from another Dr. several years earlier and she terrified me not only with the price, but with her description of exactly what she felt was needed to resolve my concern. Dr. Patel and his staff ONLY work on faces, and they know what they are doing. They immediately put me at ease by describing a much simpler procedure that delivered exactly the results I had hoped for without the slightest give away that I had work done. His bedside manner is awesome, and everyone in his office is a joy to talk to. I would recommend Dr. Patel to anyone wanting to improve their appearance and self-confidence."
"Dr. Patel gave me a facelift and the results are fabulous. People often tell me I look great, rested, and younger, yet they don't suspect I had a facelift."
"Dr. Patel is very thoughtful and experienced. He gives very good recommendations and thorough post-surgical checking. He is approachable and down to ground doctor you can be a friend of. Very happy to have him as my surgeon. Not only for normal routine facial lifting, he also recommended to have a jaw insertion according to my face feature. Turns out, it is very very good recommendation and we love it."
