Male Facelift

Beverly Hills, CA

Introduction

Serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Surrounding Areas

Plastic surgery has become increasingly popular among men for many of the same reasons it has among women. Baby Boomers, especially, feel the need to project a vibrant, youthful-looking public image, particularly in the workplace where they’re competing with younger men. 

A more youthful, alert appearance certainly has its benefits for men who plan to remain in their careers for several more years. With today’s growing emphasis on fitness and health, it’s only natural that men, like women, want their facial appearance to reflect their physical vitality, energy, and vigor. An increasing number of men are also interested in correcting facial imperfections or injuries from their childhood with scar revision or reconstructive procedures.

What Is a Male Facelift?

Many men undergo facelift surgery to maintain a competitive edge in the workplace or simply to look as young as they feel. A variety of factors – including environmental conditions, repeated exposure to the California sun or smoke, and even hereditary factors – can have a deleterious effect on the skin, creating a tired, aged appearance. Over time, it becomes more difficult to tighten the skin back to its original shape.

A facelift addresses the jowl area below the mouth. For smaller areas of skin, a minimally invasive ‘mini lift’ or ‘quick lift’ can be performed to tighten the skin and underlying tissues in that area.

For more significant skin redundancy, a full facelift and neck lift can be performed to tighten the underlying facial support and redrape the skin. In male facelift patients, careful attention must be paid to the beard and hairline around the ear. While in women the incision for facelift surgery is made behind the tragus or ear cartilage, in men the incision is made in front of the ear to avoid pulling undesired hair onto the ear. Men also have shorter hairstyles, which limit the ability to hide scars with hair, so Dr. Moradzadeh takes particular care to ensure the incision lines are well hidden. Overall, the emphasis in male facelifts is on refining and sharpening the jaw and neck to preserve a strong masculine appearance.

Special Considerations for the Male Anatomy

Men’s faces present special considerations for plastic surgeons. The brow and hairline are more pronounced, and the beard patterns affect positioning. Another concern for men is getting rid of ‘turkey waddle’ or the loose skin that hangs under the chin. This can be achieved with neck liposuction, or, in some cases, a neck lift may provide the most dramatic improvement. The most common procedures requested by men include liposuction, eyelid surgery, nose surgery, facial implants, brow lifts, and facelifts.

Several significant factors for men include a richer blood supply and thicker facial skin, which can influence both healing and scarring. In addition, the pattern of hair growth for the beard, sideburns, and forehead must also be carefully evaluated.

For men with thinning hair or a receding hairline, it is even more important for the surgeon to select the right technique to camouflage scars and achieve optimal results. The surgeon’s expertise is evident in his ability to address the many distinct challenges in male cosmetic surgery.

What’s the First Step?

Your first step in undergoing a male facelift is to meet with Dr. Moradzadeh, who will complete a medical and physical assessment. Also, during your first session, the doctor will answer your questions, explain the procedure’s risks, downtime, costs, and projected results, and ensure you have a clear understanding of the surgical techniques he plans to use. Once you are confident moving forward and Dr. Moradzadeh has approved your candidacy, we will book your surgery date. You will receive a detailed pre-surgical checklist to streamline your preparation.

What to Expect on the Day of Male Facelift Surgery

On the day of your male facelift, our friendly team will greet you and help you get settled in one of our comfortable, climate-controlled surgical suites. We will take all the time necessary to answer any final questions and briefly review your treatment plan to make sure you still wish to move forward. Once you are ready, we will administer general anesthesia or sedation, allowing you to fall into a deep sleep and enjoy a painless and stress-free cosmetic journey.

Once you are asleep, Dr. Moradzadeh will create tiny incisions within the fine folds of the ears, stretching into the hairline. Through these incisions, he will firm and reposition the underlying muscle, tissue, and fat layers, removing excess sagging skin to create a more attractive, balanced appearance. Once the doctor has completed all changes, he will close your incisions with fine sutures and then place you in our recovery area, where you will be monitored carefully until the doctor decides it is safe for you to return home.

Male Facelift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Male Facelift Care

Male facelift recovery is typically swift and seamless when you follow Dr. Moradzadeh’s instructions and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. In general, you can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the targeted areas. These symptoms typically peak during the first postoperative week and then gradually resolve with time. You can manage any discomfort by taking oral painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

While it is permissible to start gentle walks right away after your procedure, Dr. Moradzadeh recommends waiting 4 to 6 weeks before incorporating strenuous workouts into your self-care regimen. Dr. Moradzadeh will provide a detailed, customized aftercare plan and remain available to address any questions or concerns during your healing process.
