Facelifts for Men

Just like their female counterparts, baby boomer men may be hitting “retirement age,” but they sure don’t want to look like it. They keep their bodies young and fit by working out hard, and they want their face to keep up, which would explain the 14% uptick in male facelifts. And although the procedure for men and women is the same, there are some issues to consider that are unique to the male facelift such as the hairline, hair growth and beard growth. If your hair is thinning or you’re bald, it’s especially important to go to a highly trained plastic surgeon, as hiding your incision scars will take the artistry and skill that our expert plastic surgeons possess. Our surgeons are experts at a natural, soft look that will leave others wondering what you did to look so good.

Most men want a natural, refined look. Our surgeons here at our Bakersfield practice are experts at creating a youthful, yet subtle change in our facelift procedures.

So really, if you’re feeling younger than you look, come in for a male facelift consultation.
