Newest Trend: Facelifts for Men

March 22nd, 2012

Summary: The number of men who are getting facelifts in Chicago is on the rise. There are many factors that contribute to this, but the results are very simple: men are looking younger, sexier, and more in control than ever before.

At The Top

Facelift procedures are very common in the world of cosmetic surgery. They have been popular with women for years who want to look and feel younger and more refreshed. One of the latest trends, however, is men getting on board and saying “we want it, too!” More and more men are discussing facial cosmetic procedures with their doctors and a record number of them are going under the knife. There are so many reasons that men are wanting to cash in on this amazing procedure. Wanting to stay ahead at work, trying to maintain the look they feel most comfortable with, getting back into the dating world… these are just a few of the reasons men flocking to their surgeons for a facelift.

Just the Simple Facts

Looking younger, more awake, and more rejuvenated can have some amazing effects on both your professional and personal life. Many men are saying that they want to stay “relevant” in the business world, and hope to accomplish this through a facelift. A facelift procedure can be easily explained in just a few easy

steps:

Step One: Incisions will be made along the hairline and/or behind the ears and under the chin. These incisions are very discrete and are often unseen after surgery. These cuts will allow the skin of the face to be lifted.

Step Two: After the skin has been lifted, doctors begin the real task of tightening your muscles, performing liposuction on your jowls, whatever is necessary to achieve the results you desire. Your Chicago plastic surgeon will discuss all of your options before surgery so that your final look is the one you’ve been hoping for.

Step Three: The changes have been made and your incisions are closed up. This is when the healing process begins. Bandages will be put in place to reduce your risk of infection. Your doctor will monitor your recovery and make sure everything goes along smoothly.

The more you know about your surgery before, the more comfortable you will be after. This discussion will also help you to find the doctor that is best qualified to give you amazing results.

Men at Work

From the boardroom to the bedroom, men want to look good. They want to appear younger, sexier, more in control, more confident, more capable, and more relevant. Thousands of men everywhere are starting to understand that this can be achieved with a facelift. Cosmetic surgery has a stigma surrounding it that it’s only for women. Not in 2012, it’s not! Guys are taking charge and with the help of their doctor they are moving ahead and breaking the stereotype. It’s a cut throat world out there with the economy being as it is. To stay on top of the game, some work needs to be done.

Write Your Own Story

Whether you’re a man who is considering a facelift, or a woman who knows of a guy that is in need of a little life-altering boost, considering a facelift could be the smartest decision you make. The trends show and more men are going under the knife than ever before. The stigma is disappearing, and the story of cosmetic surgery is being rewritten by men everywhere who want to look and feel like a million bucks.

Face The Clock

December 5th, 2011

A facelift or rhytidectomy works to tighten the underlying support structures of the face, creating a natural and youthful appearance. Facelifts remain popular for both women and men in the United States.

 

Facelifts Offer Long-Lasting Way to Turn Back the Clock

 

When you are traveling down memory lane and looking at old family photos, you might notice that the face staring back at you is younger, firmer, with fewer wrinkles, less sagging skin and no real signs of sun damage. If you have started avoiding the camera, or the mirror, due to the signs of aging on your face, a facelift or rhytidectomy can help address a variety of issues on the face, creating a beautiful and youthful look for years to come.

 

With better technology and cosmetic options, there are several facelift options to consider. If your neck and upper face are pretty smooth, then a mini facelift might be perfect for you; a mini lift focuses on the lower portion of the face, especially the cheeks and jaw, often afflicted by sagging skin or jowls. A good mini facelift will make the lower portion of your face work in concert with the upper portion and take years off that particular area.

 

A full facelift can address the neck and the entire face, depending on your face and your goals. The costs and recovery time for mini facelifts are less than those for a full facelift. Many people also choose to couple facelifts with other procedures, including liposuction or eyelid lifts, for example.

 

You should be in good overall health and discuss any medications you are currently taking with your cosmetic surgeon; this surgery is especially effective for men and women in their 40s, 50s and 60s, although it can be performed on people older than that as well.

 

If you schedule a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon, he or she can examine your facial structure and features and provide information on the best cosmetic services for you. This meeting will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about facelifts and the cosmetic surgeon’s practice. You have a right to ask any and every question and to feel comfortable with the Dallas cosmetic surgeon you choose.

 

While a facelift is not a miracle on its own (you will need to give your face ample time to heal and maintain good, healthy habits, including drinking lots of water), you might think it is – facelifts can address everything from loose skin to sunken cheeks to deep-set wrinkles to age and sun spots. A good facelift looks very natural; make sure that you look at some before-and-after photos so you have a better idea of what to expect.

 

When all is said and done, a facelift can give you the ability to look right into the camera, smile and say “cheese” with glee rather than worry. A facelift can make your next trip down memory lane even more enjoyable and delightful.
