One of the most common concerns men have when considering a facelift is whether the results will look natural. No one wants an overly tight or “worked-on” appearance, and men typically want to maintain strong, masculine features. The good news is that with the right surgical approach, male facelifts can result in a refreshed, youthful, and completely natural appearance. Dr. Sean Lille has decades of specialized male facelift experience in Scottsdale, AZ. He takes the time to understand each patient’s unique personal goals for surgery and then works hand-in-hand with them to map a plan to achieve those goals.

Factors That Make a Male Facelift Different

Facelift surgery for men differs from that for women. Men tend to have thicker skin, a more square face, a higher density of hair follicles, and a stronger blood supply in the face. These factors can influence both the procedure itself and the face’s healing process afterward.

Plus, most men have different aesthetic goals for surgery compared to their female counterparts. In general, men seek to sharpen their jawline, reduce sagging jowls, and smooth loose skin without dramatically altering the masculine structure of the face. With a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Lille, our male patients achieve these goals thanks to specialized surgical approaches.

The SMAS Approach

In a male facelift, Dr. Lille typically focuses on strengthening definition rather than creating softness.

He specializes in the SMAS facelift, which addresses not just the surface skin but the underlying layer of muscles and connective tissue. By tightening and repositioning this deeper layer, he can reposition the skin without creating excessive tension. This technique avoids the pulled or windswept look, producing results that appear smooth and natural. The improvements also tend to last longer than with a facelift that only repositions skin.

Additionally, the placement of incisions is especially important for men to preserve natural hair growth patterns. 

Dr. Lille considers all the factors that make male facial anatomy unique when planning and performing male facelifts. After the surgery and healing, men often notice that their jawline looks more defined, their neck appears firmer, and their overall face looks younger but still authentically like themselves.
