Who Are the Best Candidates for a Male Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a male facelift are healthy individuals who do not smoke and who have realistic expectations for their results. They may be unhappy with skin laxity, deep folds, and a jawline that has gradually lost definition.

Most men who choose a male facelift are in their 40s to 60s, but the procedure can be effective at any age as long as the patient is in good health. Dr. Small will conduct a detailed consultation to ascertain whether a male facelift will be a safe and successful option for you.

He will conduct a thorough physical evaluation and in-depth review of your medical history, offering his best recommendations for an aesthetic transformation.

What to Expect From Male Facelift Surgery

A male facelift can be performed on its own or in combination with a neck lift, blepharoplasty, liposuction, or facial fat transfer. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours to complete.

Once you are sleeping peacefully, Dr. Small will create small incisions within the fine folds of the ears and the hairline, where scarring will later be inconspicuous. He will then artfully reposition the deeper facial layers, removing excess skin, tissue, and fat to create a more refreshed and vibrant appearance.

As the final step, Dr. Small will close your incisions with advanced tutoring techniques. The end result is a more refined, revitalized look that still preserves your unique characteristics and individuality.

Male Facelift Recovery

After surgery, you will need to be accompanied home by a friend, helper, or family member, as you will still be groggy from anesthesia.

Your helper should assist you for the first 24 to 48 hours. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common side effects that peak in the first postoperative week and then gradually dissipate over time. Most patients can resume work and light activities within a week or so.

You will wear a supportive garment at first around the lower face to accelerate your healing process, and you can take prescription and over-the-counter pain medication as needed. Within around 2 to 3 weeks, most patients are ready to attend social functions. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for around 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Small will provide a detailed and personalized aftercare plan and will remain available to answer any questions that arise during the recovery journey.

Male Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does a Male Facelift Cost?

Since every facelift procedure is completely unique, pricing can vary from patient to patient. Total costs will depend upon multiple factors, such as the extent of the work required to achieve your goals, the specific techniques utilized, and whether you undergo additional treatments. Dr. Small will provide a detailed price quote upon the completion of your private consultation in Ocean County.

Is a Male Facelift Painful?

While pain tolerance is different for each individual, most men find a male facelift to be stress-free and seamless. The surgery itself is performed under general anesthesia, so you will sleep peacefully throughout the process. After surgery, you may encounter swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects will dissipate within a few weeks and can be well managed with prescription painkillers, cold compresses, and plenty of rest.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Before undergoing a facelift, you may need several consultations in order to fully understand the treatment process and discuss your goals in depth with Dr. Small. After your surgery, you will need to attend several follow-up visits so that Dr. Small can assess your incisions and make sure you are healing properly, free from any complications. In total, you can expect around 3-5 appointments, depending on the complexity of the work performed.

When Can I Exercise Again After My Male Facelift?

Patients can take gentle walks within the first five days of their procedure and add light exercise within around 2-3 weeks. However, men should wait at least 5-6 weeks before resuming heavy lifting at the gym and other forms of strenuous activity.

Can I Combine a Male Facelift With Other Procedures?

Yes. Many male patients combined facelift surgery with rhinoplasty, chin and cheek implants, facial fat grafting, and a neck lift to maximize their results. Dr. Small can discuss your options for a combination treatment plan during your private consultation in Toms River or Stafford Township.

How Does a Male Facelift Differ From a Female Facelift?

Notable differences between male and female anatomy include the size and power of the facial ligaments, the hairline, and the degree of facial hair. The way that aging occurs in the midface and lower face is also different between the genders. Dr. Small makes subtle adjustments to ensure that your results reflect your unique identity. He uses cutting-edge techniques to firm the underlying facial muscles and correct sagging skin during a male facelift, producing natural-looking, nuanced results.

What Is the Right Age for a Male Facelift?

Most patients begin to think about facelift surgery in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. However, the surgery can be performed successfully for those 60 and over, provided that the patient is healthy. If you are unhappy with the appearance of sagging skin, nasolabial folds, and a wilting jawline, you may be an excellent candidate for a male facelift.
