Necklift. Male Facial Rejuvenation.

More male patients are seeking consultation regarding facial rejuvenation. Male patients often present to the office wanting to improve the appearance of their face and neck.

Prior to performing any procedures, I first determine if the jowls or nasolabial folds need to be addressed to create a more youthfull appearance. If a male patient has significant jowling or a deep nasolabial fold then we can proceed with a lower face and neck lift.

If there is no jowling and a nasolabial fold which is not deep then we can proceed with a necklift. The necklift can be performed with an incision in the neck itself, with an incision beneath the chin, or with standard facelift incisions. Another very effective means to address the aging neck in the male is with a platysmalplasty and neck z-plasty.

Facelift. Necklift. Neck Liposuction

Patients frequently come to consultation asking whether or not they need a facelift, necklift, lower facelift, full facelift, etc. It is important to individualize each facial rejuvenation operative plan depending on the desires of the patient as well as the surgeon identifying those objective indicators of aging that can be corrected with surgery or another non-surgical modality.

For example, the patient in the above photograph did not like the appearance of her neck. While even the untrained eye would notice the neck laxity, when one examines the before photograph closely the jowling which obscures the mandibular border is easily identified. Therefore it was important to address the jowling as well as the neck to optimize the aesthetic outcome.

It is quite common the aging female patient to address at least the lower aspect of the face when addressing the neck. Almost invariably, when there are signs of aging in the neck, there are also signs of aging in the face. Therefore women will also undergo a facelift or other maneuvers to address the jowls and nasolabial folds.
