Dr. Stephan Baker : Male Facelift - Miami Plastic Surgeon

Benefits of the Male Facelift

Eliminates Facial Sagging

Men are just as likely to develop facial sagging as women; sometimes even more so because men often spend increased time outdoors. Drooping facial features can be caused by muscle laxity and sagging facial skin. The male facelift treats facial sagging that is deep and surface level, restoring a firmer appearance.

Maintains Masculine Contours

A significant hesitation of many men considering facelift is that their results won’t look natural or they will appear more feminine. Dr. Baker tailors his male facelift to follow the natural masculine contours of the face keeping the cheek and jawline definition intact. Incisions are hidden discreetly along the hairline, so they are less visible, even on men who have shorter hair.

Restores Lost Facial Volume

The loss or displacement of youthful fat over time can contribute to a hollowed appearance or puffy under eyes. Fat may be repositioned during your male facelift to restore volume and create a more youthful appearance to your facial contours.

Immediately following your surgery, you may experience some bruising, swelling and mild to moderate discomfort. You should rest with your head slightly elevated during the first week to avoid additional swelling. Dr. Baker will personally see you in his office every two to three days for the first two weeks following your surgery.

You should not exert yourself in the first two weeks following your surgery. Avoid direct sun exposure. Early bruising or swelling subsides after about ten days allowing you to re-engage socially. Your final results should be visible after about six weeks.

During a facelift, incisions are made around the ear. Dr. Baker makes these incisions very precisely and anatomically along natural contours, so they will become non-discernable.

The average cost of a facelift (including the neck) is $12,000 plus anesthesia and facility fees. While price is an important factor when choosing a surgeon, you cannot put a price on quality, long-lasting results. Dr. Baker is a meticulous, highly skilled, board-certified facial plastic surgeon with years of experience and an artistic sense for natural results.

Most patients have little pain, which is readily managed with medication in the first two to three days, after which Tylenol is usually sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my male facelift surgery?

You should quit smoking and stop taking medication that thins the blood for one month before your surgery, especially aspirin. This helps improve circulation, promotes better healing, and reduces bleeding issues. Drink a lot of water to hydrate your body in the days leading up to surgery, and get plenty of sleep the night before your surgery. Plan to have a friend or family member help you for the first few days following your procedure. Private duty nursing is also an excellent option.

Can I combine other procedures with my male facelift?

It is common to combine other facial procedures to save time and money. Procedures that are often combined with a facelift include:

Eyelid Surgery to remove excess eyelid skin and bulging fat ‘bags’
Fat Grafting from your hips to the central face and eye areas to restore youthful fill
Lateral Brow Lift to correct sagging outer brows and freshen the eye appearance

How long will my results last?

Facelift surgery is among the procedures that provide the longest-lasting results. Although facelift surgery can take years off your appearance, it cannot stop the aging process. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments can help maintain and enhance the results you desire.
