Facelift Before & After Case 177

More men are getting facial cosmetic procedures, as there is less stigma and a greater acceptance of men undergoing cosmetic surgery. This growth in the male aesthetic demand comes from men in all areas of life, from "millennials" to "baby boomers".

The neck is one the most popular areas that men look for cosmetic improvement. The aesthetic options for male neck are similar to a woman's neck. Plastic surgeons evaluate the fat, skin, muscle, and bone to determine appropriate treatment options. Double chin surgical treatment may involve the following:

• chin augmentation with silicone implant
• neck liposuction to reduce fat and tighten skin
• facelift and neck lift to reduce excess skin laxity and lift sagging tissue

This Washington DC facelift patient had considered treatment of his neck for years to reduce loose skin. His friends and wife had previously undergone facelifts and he was considering plastic surgery for himself. He consulted with facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Chaboki, to review aesthetic options. His case was more complicated given sun damaged skin, previous extensive oral surgery, and a preexisting heart condition, which requires blood thinners.

He underwent lower facelift, neck lift, neck liposuction, and facial fat transfer. After photographs are approximately 2 months after cosmetic surgery. He has a natural improvement without looking overdone or "pulled". Read more about facelift surgery in men in our blog.
