What is Male Facelift ?
The procedure often involves SMAS or deep-plane lifting and may be combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting.

- Have sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, or neck
- Want a long-lasting solution with minimal scarring

Recovery and Results
Recovery usually takes 10 to 14 days, with swelling and bruising decreasing by the second week. Final results develop over several months and can last 10 years or more. Scars are discreetly hidden in natural creases or behind the ears, especially important for patients with short hair or facial hair.
Home the same day
Most facelift patients rest and return to their hotel the same day.
Peak swelling
Swelling peaks within 48 hours; ice packs and head elevation help.
Stitches out

Final contour
Residual swelling settles and the result keeps refining.
