| Male Facelift and Necklift: | ||
| With changing standards of aesthetics of the male face, and more liberal attitudes concerning facial rejuvenation surgery, many men are now seeking the benefits of facial cosmetic surgery procedures. The concept of facelift and necklift in men is basically the same as in women, but the approach is tailored to highlight and sharpen the angular structures of the jaw, neck , and chin, with less emphasis on crows' foot lines, cheekbones and naso-labial (fold from nose to corners of the mouth) regions. The appearance of fresh and sharp angular contours leads to a well-rested, and relaxed appearance, but | translates to
the perception of a more youthful appearance. This surgery
is generally performed in our Office
Surgical Suite. Recovery time
is usually 10 to 14 days
before swelling and
possible bruising resolve, although recovery times will
vary, and may be shorter. Although
facelift and necklift
will restore the major facial contours,
especially the jawline, finer wrinkles of the skin will
persist, but can be improved by CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing.
