What Is a Male Facelift?

A male facelift treats sagging skin, jowls, and a fading jawline, the same concerns a traditional facelift addresses. Dr. Mark and Dr. Robert use the deep plane technique, lifting the deeper tissue layers of the face to avoid the tight, wind-swept look associated with skin-only facelifts.

Male anatomy calls for a few adjustments. Men typically have thicker skin, a richer blood supply, and hair-growing skin around the sideburns and beard. Incisions are planned within the hairline and natural creases, keeping the sideburns in their natural position so results stay in proportion with the rest of the face.

Benefits of a Male Facelift

  • Helps tighten sagging skin along the jawline and neck
  • May reduce the appearance of jowls
  • Can restore a more defined, contoured profile
  • Preserves natural sideburn and hairline positioning
  • Aims to create a rested, natural-looking appearance
  • Can be combined with eyelid surgery or fat transfer for a fuller refresh

Am I a Good Candidate for a Male Facelift?

Men bothered by sagging skin, a fading jawline, or a tired look in the lower face and neck are often good candidates. Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and understand that surgery targets the lower two-thirds of the face, not concerns like a receding hairline. A consultation with Dr. Mark or Dr. Robert is the best way to find out if surgery, a non-surgical option, or a combination is right for you.

Why Choose Glasgold Group for a Male Facelift?

Dr. Mark Glasgold and Dr. Robert Glasgold have each spent more than twenty years refining the deep plane facelift technique, continuing a family legacy in facial plastic surgery that began with their father in the 1960s. The practice's exclusive focus on the face and neck, rather than a wide range of body procedures, has given both surgeons an unusually high volume of hands-on experience with this exact surgery. That depth of experience, paired with an unhurried, individualized approach to every consultation, is why men throughout New Jersey and beyond choose Glasgold Group.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Mark or Dr. Robert will take time to understand your goals before recommending an approach. Expect an honest conversation about your facial anatomy, what surgery can and cannot achieve, and a review of your medical history to confirm you're a good candidate. Many patients find it helpful to bring photos from years past to illustrate the look they want to restore.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of a male facelift depends on the extent of correction needed, the technique used, and whether it's combined with treatments like eyelid surgery or fat transfer. Because every patient's goals are different, Glasgold Group provides a personalized estimate after your consultation.

What to Expect During Male Facelift Treatment

Consultation and Surgical Planning

Before surgery, Dr. Mark or Dr. Robert maps out an individualized plan, including where incisions will be placed to stay concealed within the hairline and natural contours of the ear and sideburn.

Anesthesia and Incision Placement

Anesthesia is chosen based on the extent of your surgery and reviewed with you in advance. Incisions typically begin near the temple hairline, continue around the ear, and may extend into the lower scalp, all placed to remain hidden as the area heals.

The Deep Plane Lift

Once access is established, the deeper facial tissue is repositioned to lift the cheeks, jawline, and neck as a unit. Excess skin is trimmed and incisions are closed with careful attention to minimize visible scarring.

Male Facelift Recovery

Most patients take one to two weeks off from work and social activities while initial swelling and bruising resolve. Sutures are typically removed within the first couple of weeks, and you'll receive specific guidance on caring for incisions near the hairline and beard area.

Strenuous exercise and anything that raises blood pressure should wait several weeks. Most men return to light activity within a couple of weeks, while final results continue to settle over the following months.

Male Facelift Results

Results continue to improve over the following weeks and months as residual swelling resolves, and the jawline and neck become more defined. Because the deep plane technique lifts supporting tissue beneath the skin, results tend to look natural and age well over time.

Complementary Procedures

  • Neck Lift: Can target loose skin and muscle banding in the neck for a more defined jawline.
  • Blepharoplasty: May address heavy or puffy eyelids that can make the eyes look tired.
  • Facial Fat Transfer: Can help restore lost volume in the cheeks and midface using the patient's own fat.
  • Rhinoplasty: Can reshape the nose to improve facial balance and, when needed, breathing function.
  • Brow Lift: Can elevate a heavy or sagging brow line to open up the upper face.
  • BOTOX: May soften forehead lines and crow's feet between or after surgical treatment.

How long does male facelift surgery typically take?

Surgery time varies based on the extent of correction needed and whether other procedures, like eyelid surgery or fat transfer, are performed at the same time. Dr. Mark or Dr. Robert will give you a more precise estimate during your consultation.

Does health insurance cover any part of a male facelift?

Facelift surgery is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, so it typically isn't covered by health insurance. Glasgold Group can walk you through available financing options during your consultation.

What are the risks associated with a male facelift?

As with any surgical procedure, risks can include bruising, swelling, infection, changes in skin sensation, and reactions to anesthesia. These risks and how they apply to your specific case will be discussed in detail during your consultation.

Is there an ideal age range for men considering this surgery?

There is no single ideal age. Candidacy depends more on the degree of skin laxity and jawline definition a patient wants to address than on age alone.

Will I need any additional procedures down the road?

A facelift addresses the signs of aging present at the time of surgery, but the natural aging process continues afterward. Some patients choose additional treatments, like injectables, years later to maintain their results.

What happens if I'm not satisfied with my results?

Dr. Mark and Dr. Robert prioritize open communication from your initial consultation through recovery, so any concerns can be addressed early. Follow-up appointments are part of your care after surgery.

What should I do to prepare for surgery?

Preparation typically includes avoiding blood thinners and certain supplements before surgery, arranging for someone to drive you home afterward, and following any specific pre-operative instructions provided during your consultation.
