Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery understands the difference in Facelifts for Men
A facelift is designed to create a firmer, smoother, and more rejuvenated appearance, which is why facelifts are a popular choice for men and women.
However, the approach taken to deliver the results has key differences. For example, facelifts for men create strong contours with chiseled features, such as a defined jawline and a tight neck. In addition, as men age, the excess skin that forms the ‘turkey-gobbler folds’ often interferes with shaving.
Dr. Durkin will assess your facial features and the neck region to tailor a treatment plan for you. Your facelift will smooth fine lines and wrinkles in the chin, lower cheeks, and mid-face area and make you look five to ten years younger. Excess skin and fat are removed where needed, and the incisions Dr. Durkin makes are camouflaged within natural folds of your face or ears or your hairline.
The growth pattern of facial hair is preserved when performing facelifts for men, which means the positioning of the incisions is different. Typically, the primary facelift incision is placed behind the tragus (the fleshy protuberance at the opening of your ear). For men, the incision is placed in front of the tragus so that hair-bearing skin does not get pulled over and into your ear. Other incisions that commonly go behind the temporal hairline above the ear now stay at the hairline to preserve the ability to grow sideburn hair. Therefore, it is possible your hairline may shift after a facelift.
Dr. Durkin takes extra account of the male patient’s dense facial muscles and more substantial bone structure and works to avoid an appearance that looks pulled too tight.
