Facelifts for Men Demystified | VIDA
Are You Ready for a Male Facelift?
Facelift Men Advice
Male plastic surgery has become increasingly popular. Among the most requested cosmetic procedures for male patients are facelifts. Guys want to look younger, better rested and overall more attractive. In spite of this increase in demand for a male facelift, it is still hard to find a plastic surgeon with experience in male patients. Whatever your aesthetics desires are, as a man, you have different facial features and needs. We crafted a simple list of tips to help you get the best outcome from a facelift.
Men’s Facelift Surgery
Men getting facelift surgery may be looking to take some years off their faces and erase unflattering signs of aging while maintaining sharp, masculine features. Knowing what to look for when preparing for a facelift is key in order to achieve this!
Find the right surgeon. Traditionally, facelifts were geared towards women: fine features, high cheekbones, delicate chins, etc. When you are looking for a doctor, you have to prioritize two things:
- Your doctor’s credentials. He or she must be a board certified plastic surgeon, with ample experience in facial rejuvenation surgeries. In order to get the best results, you need to go to the best surgeon you can find.
- Experience in facelifts for men. Ask your doctor about his specific experience with male patients. You can ask how he plans the surgery, what he takes into consideration in order to deliver natural results, etc.
Do your homework. One thing is for certain: not doing thorough research before having cosmetic surgery is a big mistake. We always advise our patients to ask as many questions as they want and to research every little thing they can think of. It is important to research the procedure itself, its pros and cons, your surgeon, how to prepare for a facelift, what to expect in terms of recovery, etc. For men, having a facelift also involves thinking about how your surgeon is going to hide your scars and if your facial hair is going to be affected.
Be the right age for a facelift. There isn’t a strict age when men are instantly ready for a facelift. On the contrary, patients of all ages have had facial rejuvenation procedures done before. The important thing is to know when you really want a facelift and why. Dr. Alejandro Quiroz, facial rejuvenation experts, comments “There isn’t a definite age that determines when a patient is ready for a facelift. What matters is that they want to look better.” If you are worried about being too young or too old for a facelift, don’t.
Set realistic expectations. Patients describe their facelift result as “looking at myself, 10 years younger”. When you choose the right surgeon, your results will be extraordinary: natural, discreet and favorable. You won’t look feminine, your face won’t look overstretched, your scars will be expertly hidden in your hairline, your beard line won’t be affected. However, it is super important that you go over with your expectations with your surgeon. He or she can tell you what a facelift can and can’t do for you, if your natural features limit certain things, etc.
Do it for the right reasons. It’s important, to be honest with yourself about why you want to get a facelift. As we mentioned, age is not a defining factor. What you want and how you want to look are. Perhaps, you look older than you are because you live a stressful life. Maybe you spend too much time in the sun. Possibly, you lost weight and as time passes, your excess skin has become more noticeable. Regardless of the reasons, make sure they feel right for you.
Check men’s facelift before and after pictures Another great advice is to always look at your doctor’s results. Nothing better than real male facelift before and after pictures to see his or her work and give yourself a small idea of the changes you can see.
