Male Facelift: Which Lifting Method Is Right?

Hello, this is Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery Clinic.

With average life expectancy having increased significantly and the inconveniences of eating, dressing, and living far less severe than in the past, the biggest concern for modern people is youth.

Although the physical age of people has decreased a great deal due to living environments and lifestyles that are different from the past, skin age has not kept up with that pace.

When people think of looking young, it is not only about facial features, but also about skin that is firm, supple, and not sagging. That is likely why.

The number of people looking for lifting procedures to raise sagging faces is steadily increasing, and this trend is growing regardless of gender.

Today, I would like to introduce male facelift procedures for men, who often visit the clinic late because there is relatively little information available.

Men also need care these days!

I, too, am a specialist in plastic surgery in Gangnam with 20 years of experience, and I am very interested in looking youthful; people often tell me I look young.

Ever since I decided to try Botox myself before a presentation about it during my residency, I have been receiving Botox for 20 years.

Most men are the kind to skip even applying lotion every day because it feels bothersome, and I was no different.

Instead of the hassle of daily skin care, consistent management through periodic Botox turned out to be helpful in my case.

I also personally tried the lasers and injections that our clinic has performed and was considering performing, so I could judge them based on my own face.

In this way, various lifting treatments accumulated over time, leaving little room for the skin to start sagging, which is what contributed to my youthful appearance today.

What kind of lifting do men need?

The most obvious reasons someone looks older are facial sagging and skin that has lost elasticity.

However, because each person’s facial features are different and the state of aging also varies, the help needed by each man can differ.

The lifting method should also be chosen according to the individual and carried out in an appropriate way to help achieve satisfying results.

However, because most men in Korea have short hairstyles, methods with a small incision area are recommended.

The goal is to keep the incision as small as possible so that the scar does not stand out much even without being hidden by hair.

For male facelifts, satisfaction is higher when multiple smaller lifting procedures are performed to adjust the degree of facial tightening.

What is a male mini lift?

Because men differ even in skin thickness, a male facelift must be approached differently from a female facelift, from the method to the procedure itself.

The male mini lift performed at our clinic can be described as a method that reduces the burden of incisions while increasing the efficiency of results.

It combines the strong, long-lasting characteristics of a facelift with the simple and convenient features of a non-surgical lifting procedure.

Depending on the area of concern, such as sagging around the eyes, a drooping jawline, sagging cheeks, or nasolabial folds, the appropriate option is applied in stages from among several types.

Because the degree and depth of tightening can be adjusted according to sagging, wrinkles, and facial contour, it also allows for a more meticulous approach.

How is the male mini lift performed?

The standout advantages of the male mini lift are the low burden from the small incision area and the unobtrusive incision line made possible by scarless suturing.

The incision line may vary depending on the type selected, but in common, a hidden incision method inside the scalp is applied.

Then, by pulling and securing the loosened jawline through the small incision, wrinkles are improved naturally and a firmer face can be achieved.

And if scarless suturing is performed with high technical skill, the scar remains almost invisible even with a short hairstyle.

This procedure is performed under sedation anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Also, true to the name mini, it is less painful and the wound is small, so it heals quickly, which means it does not take long to return to daily life.

What is a male facelift?

If a stronger procedure than a mini lift is needed, a male facelift can improve the image of youthfulness.

This method is applied in order to reduce pain and recovery time as much as possible while creating a natural youthful look.

Rather than simply pulling the skin surface, it completes a natural lift by tightening the SMAS layer, which is the cause of sagging skin.

Through a careful diagnosis, the correction areas and procedure plan are determined according to each person’s degree of aging, and thorough aftercare can also be provided.

Another advantage is that only the lift needed for each area can be performed, such as the forehead, midface, lower face, neck, or full face.

It is also suitable for cases with complex concerns such as facial and neck wrinkles, or for those who want the lifting effect to last a long time.

Why the procedure must be tailored to each individual

Our clinic focuses on lifting procedures and performs only lifting treatments, so we have accumulated extensive experience and data in this area.

Because men differ from women in facial structure, skin thickness, and care status, the appropriate lifting method inevitably differs as well.

If a clinic does not have particularly rich clinical experience with male facelifts, it is difficult to achieve satisfying results.

From me, the chief director, I have long been interested in lifting as a man and have consistently undergone it myself, so I am confident that there is no one who can match us in this aspect.

If you are worried about an aging face but hesitated to visit a plastic surgery clinic, I hope you will have a comfortable consultation with me, someone who shares the same concerns.

Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
