About
In the past, facelifts and other forms of facial plastic surgery have been primarily performed on women. While facelifts are still more prevalent among women, an increasing number of men are choosing this option. A facelift is a different procedure for a man than it is for a woman. Not only is a man’s facial anatomy different from a woman’s, but also so are his plastic surgery goals, the surgical technique used to achieve those goals, and the final aesthetic results. Men have thicker skin and stronger bone structure than women do. This can cause a male facelift to be more challenging to perform, and it can be more difficult to achieve the desired results. A facelift often takes significantly more time on a man than it does a woman. Without proper technique, male facelift results can look unnatural. A “cookie-cutter” approach for male facelifts does not work and can lead to failure. An unnatural result from a facelift on a male patient can be very noticeable. Mistakes from male facelifts are not very forgiving, and the stigma of these mistakes can be very hard, if not impossible, to erase.
