Facelift surgery for men is designed to address distinct aging concerns while maintaining a natural, masculine appearance. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, in Atlanta, GA, Dr. Benjamin Stong specializes in advanced facelift techniques tailored specifically for male patients. From incision placement to surgical techniques, male facelifts require a unique approach to deliver subtle, natural-looking results.
Key Aging Concerns for Men
Men often seek facelifts to address specific issues that develop as they age, such as:
- Sagging neck skin (“turkey neck”)
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Vertical neck bands caused by loose platysma muscles
- A less defined chin and overall facial contour
Male patients generally desire improvements that look masculine and understated, avoiding overly tight or feminine results.
Advanced Techniques for Male Facelifts
At Kalos, we use cutting-edge techniques like the Mini Deep Plane Facelift and the Extended Sub-SMAS Facelift to deliver long-lasting results. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily tighten the skin, these advanced procedures lift the deeper facial tissues beneath the muscle layer, which leads to more natural outcomes.
Mini Deep Plane Facelift
This technique targets the midface and jawline, lifting the deeper tissues and restoring volume without creating an overdone look. It’s ideal for men with early signs of aging who want subtle yet noticeable improvements.
Extended Sub-SMAS Facelift
For patients with more pronounced sagging, this procedure provides enhanced correction for the jowls, neck, and jawline by addressing the deeper layers of facial structure.
Both procedures can be performed with S-Lift or Mini Facelift incisions, which are smaller and less invasive than those used in traditional facelifts.
Differences in Incision Placement for Men
One of the most significant differences between male and female facelifts is the placement of incisions, which are carefully adjusted to suit male hairlines and facial hair growth patterns.
In men, the incision is placed in the crease in front of the tragus (the small cartilage flap outside the ear canal) rather than inside the ear canal. This approach prevents the repositioning of hair-bearing skin into the ear canal and preserves natural sideburns, a key consideration for men with short haircuts or balding patterns.
Men’s hairstyles often expose more of the hairline and neck, making it essential to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Stong’s precise incision techniques ensure scars are discreet and heal well over time.
Masculine and Natural Results
Men’s facial structure differs from women’s, with stronger jawlines and flatter cheeks. A male facelift focuses on enhancing these masculine features while maintaining natural proportions. Dr. Stong prioritizes:
- Avoiding overly tight results that could feminize the appearance.
- Conserving facial hair growth patterns for a balanced, authentic look.
- Achieving a more youthful, refreshed appearance without looking “done.”
