Move Over Women, Men Are Taking Over Facelifts and Necklifts!
If you’re considering a facelift, you’re in good company. Facelifts and/or necklifts continue to be one of the most sought-after facial cosmetic procedures in the U.S. Would you believe that the trend is extending to men as well? It’s true! According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of men getting facelifts and/or necklifts increased by almost 400% in the past decade.
So, what’s driving this trend? In this article, we discuss some of the reasons why more and more men are choosing to undergo facelift or necklift surgery, expertly performed by board-certified Dr. Stephen Bresnick in Los Angeles, CA.
It’s About the Mirror, Not the Calendar
Most patients seek this solution because they don’t like how they have aged over time and want to turn back the clock. Today, more professionals are acutely aware of how they are aging because they see themselves in online videoconferences.
Men have even more reasons to consider getting aesthetic procedures in today’s challenging job market, ensuring they keep a competitive edge. Of course, for single men, plastic surgery can provide added confidence when reentering the dating scene. Regardless of their individual reasons, many men are finding it easier to acknowledge they would like to improve what they see reflected at them in the mirror.
How Is a Male Facelift Different Than a Female Facelift?
Several differences between men and women come into play for facelift procedures. Women have thinner skin, muscle, and connective tissue in the face, providing a different challenge for the surgeon.
In addition, the surgeon needs to consider the male patient’s more robust bone structure and denser muscle and avoid a “pulled” appearance post-surgery. That’s why patients must choose to work with an expert like Dr. Bresnick.
The key to restoring a natural, youthful and attractive in a man includes the following:
- Restoring a masculine, youthful jawline
- Creating a tighter neck which has a youthful profile
- Maintaining totally natural features without appearing that surgery has been done
While women tend to get facelifts for a delicate, softer appearance, the opposite is true for men. A man usually gets a facelift and/or necklift to appear more masculine, with a chiseled, better-defined jawline. At the same time, a facelift can also help rejuvenate the lower cheeks, neck, and midface area. After a correctly performed facelift, you can look up to a decade younger.
