What Is a Male Facelift?
Generally speaking, the male face has a different structure and anatomy than that of a woman, with one significant difference being the thickness of male skin. Also, women tend to have thinner facial muscles and connective tissue than men do. During a male facelift procedure, Dr. Rajendra Shah takes these differences into consideration and skillfully performs the surgery so that his male patients in Chicago look refreshed, revitalized, and natural rather than overly tight or “pulled.”
Another major difference between a male facelift and a female facelift is the presence of facial hair. Due consideration must be given to preserving a man’s facial hair if he wears a beard or has sideburns. The incisions must be placed in such a fashion as to accommodate the hair.
During your facial rejuvenation consultation with Dr. Shah, you will discuss your specific goals, such as reducing sagging, improving the appearance of wrinkles, combating jowls, enhancing cheekbones, etc. The “artistic” aspect of a facelift procedure is critical for achieving a more masculine look with a chiseled, defined jawline, rather than a softer appearance for women.
