Male Facelift Sixty-year-old male facelift patient of Dr. Andrew Jacono discusses his experience and surgical results.

What is a Male Facelift?

The facelift is one of today’s most popular cosmetic surgeries. Over the course of this short yet incredibly complex procedure, a skilled surgeon can eliminate wrinkles, fine lines, drooping skin, and displaced fat pockets. The facelift is such an effective aesthetic solution, in fact, that it might be the closest anyone will ever get to turning back the clock.

Dr. Jacono and the Male Facelift in NYC

Dr. Andrew Jacono is a world-renowned specialist in male facelift surgery who uses his state-of-the-art techniques to deliver natural-looking results. He is especially aware of scarring concerns, having pioneered methods that prioritize small, well-placed incisions that minimize postoperative blemishes for all men, including those who are balding or prefer shorter haircuts.

These limited incisions, moreover, serve as entry points to the underlying muscle and fat layers of the face. This is called the Deep Plane, which Dr. Jacono surgically elevates in his signature approach, the M.A.D.E. Lift (Minimal Access Deep Plane Extended).

Dr. Jacono featured in Esquire Magazine

Esquire Magazine Dr Jacono was recently featured in the April 2017 issue of Esquire Magazine where he discussed facial plastic surgery for men.

According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, men most often opt for cosmetic work that targets the swathe of tissue just above and beneath the chin. This is no surprise considering that, as the average male reaches his mid-forties and early fifties, the jawline swells with fatty tissue, and the neck folds into loose, turkey-like bands.

A unique concern among male patients is that cosmetic surgery will feminize their faces. Thankfully, Dr. Jacono tweaks his operations to avoid such unwanted complications in gentlemen who, more often than not, are just as sensitive about their aging bodies as women. His unique approach is just one of the many skills that make Dr. Jacono one of the best plastic surgeons for male facelifts.

What Are Excess Fat Deposits and How Do They Affect the Face?

Excess fat deposits, which occur in men of all ages, cause the neck to hang. Luckily, these areas can be surgically corrected with liposuction. In most cases, surgeons cut small incisions under the chin and behind the ears, then suction away fat with a cannula, a device that separates the skin from the underlying muscle. As the skin heals back to the neck tissue, it becomes tighter.

Although liposuction is effective, its results are highly dependent on individual facial structures. Dr. Jacono, for example, tends to notice improvements in the range of 10 percent to 35 percent of patients. Those with thinner skin, less facial fat, and better-defined jawlines usually have more significant results, whereas patients with thicker skin, chubbier faces, and a weaker skeletal structure have more marginal improvements.

Male Facelift Patient 1: This sixty-year-old male patient flew in from Ohio to see me because he was tired of how his jowls and his heavy turkey neck looked. His after photo is only 10 days post-operative and right before he flew back home. He felt that his outer appearance did not match his inner.

He felt full of life and energy, but his face made him look tired. A deep plane facelift was performed because for men if you pull the skin too tight, you will leave them with feminine facial features. My deep plane facelift technique looks natural and is never tight because I lift the underlying subcutaneous fat and facial muscles.

To complete the transformation, I performed a neck lift to address his deep jowls and turkey neck. He looks terrific and awake. It is a better, younger-looking version of himself. #sixtyisthenewforty

If the platysma muscle is particularly loose, Dr. Jacono recommends platysmaplasty, which tightens the tissues around the neck with sutures. Unfortunately, this procedure cannot remove large amounts of excess skin. For this concern, Dr. Jacono recommends a direct neck skin excision, which cuts away looser pockets and totally redefines the jawline.

Do I Need a Facelift, a Neck Lift, or Both?

Regardless of diet, self-care, or genetics, the face inevitably ages—muscles atrophy, fat is displaced, and the skin loses its youthful elasticity. The jawline, as well, softens into jowls, and laugh lines deepen around the mouth. Generally, the facelift is considered the gold standard in facial rejuvenation, as it addresses most markers of aging in the middle and lower thirds of the face, though a neck lift can be just as effective for a smaller, better-defined area.

A Facelift:

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reverses facial volume loss
  • Corrects and minimizes facial scarring
  • Tightens flappy features

A Neck Lift:

  • Removes excess fat along the jawline and below the chin
  • Eliminates loose, hanging skin on the neck and underneath the chin
  • Fixes vertical and horizontal neck bands

Who is the Ideal Candidate?

Dr. Jacono treats men of all ages who seek a naturally refreshed appearance. His guiding philosophy is that because men’s and women’s faces are anatomically different, both patients and their doctors must be aware of a procedure’s peculiarities before moving forward.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Jacono to see if you’re a good candidate for a full facelift for men, a mini facelift for men, or other related surgical procedures. Dr. Jacono delivers the best facelifts for men.

Male Facelift Patient 2: This male patient in his late fifties who worked hard his entire life wanted to reclaim his youth. He was concerned with looking tired and wanted to look younger but also look natural.

Dr. Jacono performed a combination of facial rejuvenation procedures to accomplish the task. He performed a deep plane facelift, a browlift, upper and lower eyelift, neck lift, and rhinoplasty procedure. The result was a refreshed and rejuvenated natural look that has him looking 30 years younger.

Some of the best candidates for facelifts for men include:

  • Men looking to correct jowls (fatty jawline deposits)
  • Men with crêpey skin
  • Men with deep folds and frown lines
  • Men seeking to preserve their masculine features

What is the Cost of a Male Facelift?

The facelift cost for men depends heavily on the surgeon’s experience, the procedure in question, and the office’s geographical location.

The majority of health insurance plans cover neither facelift surgery nor its potential complications, but many plastic surgeons offer patient finance plans, so be sure to inquire.

Male facelift costs may include, but are not limited to:

  • The surgeon’s base fee
  • Hospital/surgical facility costs
  • Anesthesia fees
  • Medication prescriptions
  • Post-surgery garments
  • Medical tests

Does Dr. Jacono Provide Non-Surgical Treatments?

Male Facelift Patient 3: This 56-year-old male patient had deep nasolabial folds, jowls, and a turkey neck with platysmal bands. To correct this, Dr. Jacono performed his signature deep plane facelift for men, a necklift with platysmaplasty, and upper and lower male blepharoplasty. While he is still a little swollen, that will get better over the next few weeks.

Dr. Jacono offers a host of non-invasive procedures for men who are either reluctant to go under the knife or who aren’t yet ready for more dramatic changes.

The most comprehensive non-surgical treatment available is Ultherapy®, the first and only ultrasound energy-based aesthetic device cleared by the FDA. 

Ultrasound, for the uninitiated, is a wave that emits sound at frequencies higher than the human ear can detect; Ultherapy® uses this wave to bypass the upper layers of skin and deliver strengthening sonic energy to the platysma muscle. This, in turn, stimulates the body’s production of collagen, a protein that is largely responsible for producing new, healthy skin.

Unlike surgery, Ultherapy® does not damage the body’s surface layers, so there is little to no recovery time, and the results last up to two years.

Why Choose Dr. Jacono to be your Facelift Surgeon?

Andrew Jacono, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a global authority in the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and has been ranked among the top ten facelift surgeons in America by Newsweek and countless other media outlets.

This 67-year-old man is pictured six weeks after undergoing male facial plastic surgery with Dr. Andrew Jacono, and the results are remarkable.

Despite common misconceptions, men can benefit just as much from facelift surgery as women do, as this patient’s transformation shows.

Before the surgery, he had deep nasolabial folds, jowls, a turkey neck with visible platysmal bands, and extra upper eyelid skin with lower eye bags. Dr. Jacono addressed all of these concerns with a deep plane facelift, upper and lower eyelift, a male neck lift, and platysmaplasty.

As a result, the patient’s turkey neck is gone, and he now has a defined, crisp jawline that makes him look 20 years younger. This case is a testament to the power of modern facelift surgery, and how it can help both men and women look and feel their best at any age.

He had deep nasolabial folds, jowls, and platysmal bands, which Dr. Jacono addressed along with a neck lift and platysmaplasty. Despite his concerns, the patient’s goal of looking natural was achieved, and he now appears like a more refreshed version of himself.

This before and after selfie was sent in from my patient just 2 weeks after his deep plane facelift surgery. He was concerned with his aging appearance but wanted to have natural looking results.

To accomplish this, Dr. Andrew Jacono performed his deep plane facelift technique in conjunction with a neck lift with platysmaplasty and a lower eyelid lift (lower blepharoplasty). For men, the results of the facelift procedure should never be too tight because it can feminize the facial appearance and look unnatural.

Dr. Jacono lifts the underlying facial muscles (subcutaneous fat) and SMAS, as one unit. This allows the lift to occur from the deep structures, so the skin never appears too tight. He is incredibly pleased with the results.
