Facelift. Male Necklift

Traditionally as male individuals age, the greatest signs of aging occur in the neck. Males often do not have deepening of the nasolabial fold as seen in females. Therefore, I often find the best way to rejuvenate the face in males is to address the neck.

This can be done with the same incision as seen in female patients to address the lower face and neck or it can, in some males, be performed with the z-plasty on the anterior aspect of the neck. The incision is limited to the area beneath the chin and above the thyroid cartilage.

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 Surgery

Facelift surgery can be particlarly rewarding for both the patient and physician. Frequently, I notice a youthful change in the appearance of the eyes without a single procedure being done to either the upper or lower eyelid.

I attribute this change to the repositioning of the cheek fat pad or malar fat pad back to the normal anatomical or pre-aged position. This restoration of volume not only recreates harmony to the lower eyelid and tear trough, but also improves the position and contour of the upper eyelid and seems to affect the overall aperture.
