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.
