Do Men Get Facelifts?

Facelifts are among the most popular type of plastic surgery performed by Dr. Kevin Sadati at the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetic Lounge. The facelift can take up to ten years off your appearance, but it’s still commonly thought of as exclusively benefiting women. Fortunately, more men are gradually realizing the benefits of cosmetic surgery, so here’s what to know if you’re considering your options.

How Can a Facelift Help Men Look Younger?

Men have distinctive features that rely on masculine contours of the face. Dr. Sadati is uniquely familiar with the masculine form due to his artistic eye and years of experience with Male Facelift procedures. The aging process can hide these features behind loose skin, wrinkles, and sagging fat. Unfortunately, men with signs of aging are often perceived as having less vitality and energy. A facelift tightens the excess skin and fat to reduce wrinkles and re-position the subcutaneous fat. The result is a rejuvenated, youthful profile.

What Types of Facelifts are Performed on Men?

Dr. Sadati offers two different techniques when performing facelifts on men, and he can tailor his approach to your unique goals and preferences. This unique approach to facelifts has contributed to Dr. Sadati’s reputation for male facelifts in the Newport beach area and beyond.

Natural Facelift for Men

A natural facelift is the more traditional technique, and is recommended for men that have severe signs of aging, such as folds, creases, and displaced fat. Dr. Sadati developed this technique using a peer-reviewed, lauded tightening method that produces exceptionally natural results. During the natural facelift for men, incisions are made along the hairline and near the ears. The tissue is tightened, and any excess is trimmed. The procedure may also involve changes to the underlying muscles, as well as the use of fat transfer. A natural facelift produces the most dramatic changes to a man’s appearance, and the results can last 15 years or longer.

Mini Facelift for Men

Dr. Sadati’s mini facelift technique is ideal for men who have the earliest signs of aging that develop in the lower portion of the face. The mini facelift focuses on the jowls and areas around the nose and mouth. The incisions are smaller compared to a natural facelift, but produce more subtle and minimalistic results. A mini facelift will not prevent the aging process, but it may delay the need for a full facelift.

How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon for Your Male Facelift

Although the techniques are somewhat similar for male and female facelifts, you should work with a facial plastic surgeon who is experienced in male facelifts. It’s important that your plastic surgeon has the techniques to enhance and maintain the masculine aspects of your profile so you look like your best self. Dr. Sadati can develop a surgical plan that brings out your masculine features, such as your jawline, chin, nose, and eyes, while maintaining an overall age-appropriate appearance.
