With cosmetic procedures for men rising in popularity every year, more male patients are looking to refresh their appearance with male facelift and neck lift procedures. Our patients want to look completely natural, reversing the signs of ageing that give men a tired appearance – loose skin and bands in the neck, loss of smooth jawline with increased lines, and wrinkles.

Male Facelift & Neck Lift Surgery, ‘Less is more approach‘ is key for male patients with less ageing. Key is preserving the character of a man’s face, for example the eyes and eye shape must be kept the same. Too many celebrities have had procedures that open up their eyes and feminise their appearance, this can be completely avoided with Natural Male Facelift surgery e.g. Tom Jones, Mickey Rouke.

Male facelift scars must be discrete and hidden, this must be tailored to the individual and depends on the degree of skin laxity. For some patients these can be placed in hidden creases around the ears, in others the natural beard growth must be observed, Dr De Silva discussed the most optimal procedure with each individual patient.

Combination Facelift & Neck lift procedures. Some patients required other procedures to give the very best results. Dr Julian De Silva advises all patients on eyelid changes (blepharoplasty), brow position, volume loss (Fat transfer, implants), jaw line strengthening (e.g. Chin implant). Often these procedures when used in conjunction with the golden ratio and masculine facial characteristics will enhance the result and give the best results. Dr De Silva had completed scientific research on ‘beautification’ of the male face to increase masculinity (e.g. one of the reason’s Brad Pitt’s face is so handsome. His jaw line and the relative proportions of his chin and jaw compared to the average jaw line.)

Dr Julian De Silva is a facial cosmetic and plastic surgeon in London. His approach to facelift and neck lift surgery delivers a natural, artistic result by focusing on the individual characteristics of each patient.

What Gives Men a More Tired Appearance?

One of the earliest signs of facial ageing is changes and sagging of the lower third of the face, the presence of jowls (the prominent soft tissue at the jawline) and a sagging neck with loss of the natural curvature and defined neck angle.

Along with eyelid changes, the neck is one of the first signs of facial ageing. A facelift for men that usually includes a neck lift restores the natural contours of the jaw and smoothens the angle of the neck beneath the jaw.

A rejuvenation resulting from a natural neck angle can turn back the years and make a person look years younger.

How Do You Hide Scars?

Scars are very important features of facial surgery, particularly in men, where shorter hair means that scars are potentially more visible.

Unsatisfactory scars are caused by a combination of factors including surgical technique, the position of scars, closure techniques (stitches vs staples) and genetics (1% of patients can have healing issues with scars secondary to their genetics).

Taking meticulous measures to minimised and hide scars are key to success:

1. Surgeon’s technique. Surgeon’s use different techniques to complete a facelift and neck lifting procedure. Meticulous care and attention to detail are required to hide the facelift incisions in natural creases and curves.
2. Location of the incisions. The incisions and scars can be hidden by placing the visible portion of the incision inside the ear canal or opening behind the little lump in front of your ear called the tragus. Patients with marked skin laxity require an approach to the minimised movement of beard growth. Dr De Silva discusses this with his male patients for the optimal outcome.
3. Multiple-layered meticulous closure. Multiple layered skin closure ensures that there are deep stitches to support the soft tissues once the superficial skin stitches are removed; this is key to avoid unattractive widened scars.
4. Bevelled incision. In hair-bearing skin the use of a bevelled incision in the hairline enables hair to grow through the scar after surgery, hiding the scar in hair-bearing skin.
5. Deep plane face lifting technique. Lifting the deep tissues beneath the skin (SMAS or Deep Muscle Tightening) before skin closure is essential to give a natural-looking result and avoiding tension on the skin.
6. Stitches. There are different methods that can be used to close the skin. Some surgeons use staples to save time; however, they can leave marks, unsatisfactory scars and are uncomfortable to remove. Dr De Silva avoids the use of staples in all patients as the best healing is from the use of fine sutures in non-hair bearing skin.
7. 3D Telescopes. For some patients, a small high definition telescope is used to hide and conceal scars. With the use of natural techniques and the latest technologies, Dr De Silva is able to enhance the natural-looking neck contour and increase the longevity of the neck lift.
8. Regenerative Medicine: Scar healing can be enhanced with Dr De Silva’s techniques including regenerative medicine
