At The Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery in McLean, Virginia, we specialize in advanced cosmetic surgery techniques tailored for men seeking a youthful and revitalized appearance. Our procedures focus on facial rejuvenation, aiming to achieve a more youthful look through targeted areas such as the cheeks and jawline. Our men’s facelifts, particularly the deep plane facelift, employ state-of-the-art techniques that address deeper facial tissues, surpassing traditional methods. This innovative approach delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results, making it ideal for men wanting substantial improvements in facial contours and skin firmness.
A men’s deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the deeper facial tissues for natural rejuvenation. Unlike a traditional facelift that primarily involves incisions to lift and tighten the skin, the deep plane facelift addresses the underlying muscles and tissues, enhancing a more youthful and masculine look. This technique effectively smooths out deep wrinkles, tightens loose skin, and restores youthful contours to the face and neck, providing men with a more defined and chiseled appearance.
Men experiencing significant signs of aging, such as pronounced nasolabial folds, jowls, and sagging cheeks, are ideal candidates for a deep plane facelift. For male patients, specific considerations include precise incision placement and the unique anatomy of the male face, ensuring the preservation of masculine facial features. This method addresses connective tissue, skin laxity, and wrinkles while preserving masculine facial features. Candidates should be in good general health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results. A consultation with Dr. Cohen will help determine if this procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals. For those with mild jowling and sagging skin, a mini facelift may be a suitable alternative, involving shorter incisions and a quicker recovery period.
The procedure begins with the administration of intravenous sedation to ensure the patient’s comfort. A neck lift can be performed as a complementary procedure to enhance the overall results. Dr. Cohen makes incisions strategically along the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring and maintain a natural appearance. The neck lift incision typically begins in front of the ear lobe, wraps around behind the ear, and ends in the posterior hair behind the ear. Through these incisions, the deeper layers of the face are lifted and repositioned, targeting the muscles and tissues for a more natural and masculine look. Excess skin is removed, and the incisions are closed. The surgery generally lasts four to five hours, depending on the necessary corrections.
Recovery from a men’s deep plane facelift involves swelling and bruising, which typically diminishes within a few weeks. The removal of excess fat in the neck area is also part of the recovery process, enhancing the overall rejuvenation. Initial results become visible as the swelling reduces, with the final outcome developing over the following months. Dr. Cohen provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Most patients can resume normal activities within two to three weeks, with full healing taking six to twelve months. Light exercise can usually be resumed within one to two weeks, with a return to full strength expected within four to six weeks, depending on individual healing progress. For even better and more natural-looking results, consider pairing the facelift with additional procedures such as laser skin resurfacing.
