Facelift Case: Male 2
What does Dr. Sundine’s facelift actually look like?
A refreshed, more youthful appearance—without looking like you had a facelift.
This a very healthy 80-year-old man wanted improvement of his facial aging. His primary concerns were the laxity of his neck and the deep creases in his face.
Importantly, he was not interested in procedures to his brow or lower eyelids. His goal was to improve the areas that concerned him while maintaining his natural, masculine appearance.
A male facelift should still look like you
For many men considering a facelift, the goal is not to look “different.” It is to look more refreshed and youthful without looking like anything was done.
Every facelift is not the same because every face is not the same.
In this patient, the goal was to elevate and reposition the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tighten the skin. Particular attention was given to the neck to improve the jawline and definition.
The objective was not simply to make his face tighter. It was to restore a more youthful contour while preserving the characteristics that made his face look masculine and natural.
What you are seeing:
- Smoother lower face
- Improved jowls
- More defined jawline
- Significant improvement in neck definition
- Preservation of his masculine facial character
Why this facelift was designed differently
This patient’s primary concerns were his face and neck. His treatment plan was designed around the areas he wanted to improve—and did not include procedures he did not want.
The deeper facial tissues were repositioned to improve the midface and lower face and restore a softer, more youthful contour.
His neck required a different component of the surgical plan, including defatting and tightening of the deep structures with a muscular sling, to improve the definition of the neck and jawline.
The operation was therefore designed around this patient’s anatomy, concerns, and goals—not around performing a standard combination of procedures.
The result is a more youthful, refreshed appearance with improved definition while maintaining his individual facial character and masculine appearance.
Want to look more refreshed without looking like you’ve had a facelift?
That is an important distinction in male facial rejuvenation.
The goal is not to change your face. It is to address the signs of aging that bother you while preserving the features that make you look like yourself.
Your facial anatomy, areas of concern, and goals are unique to you. During a consultation, Dr. Sundine can evaluate your face and discuss an approach designed specifically for you.
