Restore a youthful, masculine appearance with a male facelift by Dr. Jeffrey Lisiecki. This procedure targets sagging skin, deep creases, jowls, and neck laxity, enhancing facial definition while preserving natural contours. Dr. Lisiecki customizes each facelift to maintain a strong, rejuvenated look tailored to the unique features of male patients.

What is a male facelift?

A male facelift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the face while preserving masculine features. It focuses on enhancing a strong jawline, tightening loose skin, and smoothing deep facial creases without creating an overdone or feminized look. Dr. Jeffrey Lisiecki tailors each male facelift to the individual’s anatomy and goals, ensuring natural-looking results. The procedure helps restore confidence by turning back the clock while maintaining a rugged, refreshed, and age-appropriate appearance.

The benefits of a male facelift:

  • Lifting sagging skin along the jawline and neck
  • Reducing deep wrinkles and facial creases
  • Enhancing a strong, defined facial structure
  • Creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance
  • Preserving natural, masculine facial features
  • Providing long-lasting, age-defying results

Candidates for a male facelift:

  • Are in good overall health with no major medical conditions
  • Are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
  • Want to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck
  • Want to maintain a strong, masculine appearance
  • Have sagging skin, deep folds, or jowls
  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
  • Are bothered by an aged or tired facial appearance
  • Are looking for long-term facial rejuvenation rather than temporary solutions

Recovery after a male facelift surgery

After your male facelift surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and tightness in the face and neck, which are normal parts of the healing process. Dr. Lisiecki will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions, when to take medications, and signs to watch for during recovery. Most patients return home the same day and are encouraged to rest with their heads elevated for the first few days.

You should plan to take about 1 to 2 weeks off from work or social activities. Swelling will gradually decrease, and most visible signs of surgery fade within two to three weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 10 to 14 days. However, strenuous physical activities, including heavy lifting and exercise, should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Lisiecki will schedule follow-ups to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing.

Dr. Lisiecki’s personalized male facelift technique

During your male facelift, Dr. Lisiecki makes discreet incisions—typically around the ears and sometimes under the chin—to minimize visible scarring. Through these incisions, he carefully repositions and tightens the underlying facial muscles to restore structure and definition. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is smoothed for a natural, refreshed appearance. If needed, liposuction may be used to remove fat deposits under the chin or along the jawline.

Dr. Lisiecki customizes each procedure to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring that your masculine features are preserved. The entire surgery typically takes several hours and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. After the procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area before returning home the same day with post-operative care instructions to support a smooth healing process.

Male facelift FAQs

Is a male facelift different from a female facelift?

Yes. A male facelift is tailored to the unique structure of the male face. Dr. Lisiecki focuses on maintaining a strong, angular jawline and natural-looking results without feminizing features. The goal is to rejuvenate your appearance while preserving your masculine identity.

How long do the results of a male facelift last?

The results of a male facelift typically last 10 to 15 years. While the natural aging process will continue, you’ll always look younger than if you hadn’t had surgery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from sun damage, and following Dr. Lisiecki’s aftercare recommendations can help prolong your results.

Will the scars be noticeable?

Dr. Lisiecki places facelift incisions in discreet, natural contours—such as around the ears and sometimes under the chin—to minimize visible scarring. As healing progresses, scars fade and become barely noticeable over time.

What is the ideal age for a male facelift?

There’s no “perfect” age for a facelift, but most male patients are between 40 and 70 years old. If you have noticeable sagging skin, deep folds, or a tired facial appearance, you may be a good candidate regardless of your age—as long as you’re in good health.
