Facelift Surgery for Men

Too few men even think to get a facelift.  Those who don’t want a weathered look tend to be resigned to one.  Many men associate facelifts with women, or think a facelift can’t help them, or like the idea of a facelift but can’t find a nearby facelift surgeon who’s known to get good results for men.

But the number of men opting for facial plastic surgery is on the rise, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).  More men are taking a new look at how their looks can have a substantial effect on how one feels, his career prospects, and his romantic life.  Those reasons and more are why interest in facial plastic surgery among men has risen so sharply in the past decade or so.

Houston’s Dr. Michel Siegel specializes in facial surgery, and is renowned for the results of his facelifts, many of which are for men.  Contact Dr. Siegel’s office in Houston today for your consultation on your goals, or read on to find out more about the male facelift.

Note:  Dr. Siegel performs deep plane facelifts exclusively, and has since 2018.  Most surgeons do not or cannot offer the deep plane facelift, because it requires extensive training and experience.  Patients seek deep plane facelifts because they avoid the “pulled” look, produce less swelling, require less recovery time, and their longevity is twice as long as traditional procedures’.  Find out more about the deep plane facelift here.

A neck lift to enhance the jawline

One of the most common facial surgeries performed in men is the mini neck lift.

Excess fat deposits can show up in men of all ages – whether those are inherited, from aging, from a loosening of the neck muscles, or from gaining weight.  That excess slack on the neck can create an undesirable, or “weak”-looking contour or the neck, often known as “turkey neck.”  This area can be sculpted to produce a smoother, chiseled neck and jawline that projects more power and is more attractive.

Dr Siegel’s approach to neck lifting involves lifting or re-suspending the deeper muscles, which creates more-natural looks and produces longer-lasting results (as compared to more superficial procedures that involve more “pulling”).

The chin lift

Men with a “weak” or underemphasized chin may be good candidates for combining a mini neck lift with a chin implant.

Older patients or those with significant extra loose skin may opt for a mini facelift combined with neck lift.
