Facelift for Men
Posted on April 4, 2011Yes. Not only women undergo facelift surgery and facelift for men could be more popular than you think.
Over the past ten years facelift surgery had become more and more popular to male patients. The reasons behind this lies in the idea that men would want to remain competitive in their workplace. They also want to look healthier and feel more confident in their personal relationships.
Facelift procedures designed for men can e a very effective way to minimize unnecessary effects of aging, stress and too much exposure to sun such as wrinkles and dry skin. Though the results o facelift to both men and women are similar, there are differences in approach that potential patients should be aware of.
Some considerations include the fact that men do not often have the option of concealing scars under the hair. As such, the incisions made during facelift for men must be placed inconspicuously. Incisions are made generally in the natural crease of the sideburn, inside the ear or around the earlobe, under the chin or back into the hairline. All incisions should be made invisible as much as possible.
Men also have more blood vessels in their face than female patients, which is another factor to be considered. Having more blood vessels in the face may mean that a male patient’s blood will take longer to clot before and after the facelift procedure. For this reason it is important for male patients to follow all surgical aftercare instructions to avoid the possibility of complications.
Surgical procedures are not without its risk and facelift for men does carry the same principle. Although side effects are rare and can e mitigated through an experienced cosmetic surgeon, a patient should still be prepared and well-informed on all the aspects of the surgical procedures. A patient is expected not to work for a few weeks for the recovery phase. Some activities should also be avoided such as exercising, smoking, the use of certain medications that may slow down the healing process and even sexual and other strenuous activities.
