Can Facelift Surgeries Be Performed In Men As Well?

Facelift surgeries can lift deep facial tissues and reshape the facial contours to make them smoother, tighter and create better definition in the face along with the removal of excess skin. With a facelift surgery, the patient may obtain a many years younger appearance.

Facelift surgeries can be successfully performed in men who want to have refreshment and rejuvenation in their faces. The aim is to reposition the loose tissue, restore facial volume and improve the jaw and neck lines. With respect to gender-specific anatomical features, facial rejuvenation can be created in a natural, balanced and effective way.

There are gender-specific anatomical features that should be considered when choosing the appropriate surgical approach for the male face. Men have a different facial bone structure (such as a larger jaw, a more square lower face), more prominent facial muscles, flatter cheeks with less subcutaneous fat tissue, lower positioned eyebrows, thicker, denser, heavier skin with plenty of hair follicles. All these should be taken into consideration when performing a facelift surgery for a male patient.

For a facelift surgery, the male face requires a surgical approach that is both more conservative and emphasizes natural, masculine features. The techniques used also differ from the techniques used for women, as it restores soft tissue contours, while maintaining the angularity of facial bone structure.

A conservative volume restoration procedure should often be included as part of the facelift procedure. Men usually experience soft tissue reduction in the infraorbital area. A fat transfer procedure to the face, including this area and the upper midface, can replenish the lost volüme throughout the face. Because it provides structural support to the soft tissues, it can also create lifting effects for the face, and as fit tissue contains stem cells, it helps nourish and improve the skin. In addition, fat injections can be used to provide enhancement and prominence in certain areas of the face. These areas include the jaw, jaw line and cheekbones.

One of the problems with facelift surgeries is that people usually know only the bad ones. Natural looking, good results of facelift operations are often not noticed, people usually tend to focus on facelift operations with unnatural, bad results. Men who are considering a facelift surgery should necessarily be worried that they will end up with an unnatural, feminized, bad appearance. Thanks to the right surgeons and techniques, men can get a better and younger appearance without looking like as if they have been operated on their faces.
