Facelift for Men
Facelift surgery is not one-size-fits-all. Male facelift surgery requires a specialized approach that accounts for thicker skin, facial hair, and different facial anatomy compared to women. Dr. Lee Gibstein, a double board-certified plastic surgeon with training at Harvard, NYU, and Mount Sinai, is recognized for his expertise in male plastic surgery and facial rejuvenation procedures.
Every procedure is performed by Dr. Gibstein himself using advanced surgical techniques designed to achieve natural-looking results while preserving masculine features. His philosophy is to restore, not reinvent, helping male patients achieve a rejuvenated appearance that still feels authentically their own.
A male facelift (also called men’s facelift surgery) is a facial plastic surgery procedure that corrects visible signs of aging by tightening underlying muscles, repositioning fat layers, and removing excess skin and fat. Unlike non-surgical treatments, this surgical procedure offers long-lasting improvement to deep lines, sagging jowls, and a softened jawline.
Dr. Gibstein often combines a facelift with a neck lift to address loose skin under the chin and neck for a complete, balanced result.
The facelift procedure typically lasts 3–4 hours, and most patients return home the same day.
By addressing these concerns, a facelift delivers a refreshed appearance that enhances facial features while preserving a masculine look. Facelift surgery addresses a range of signs of aging that can affect men:

Careful adherence to aftercare reduces the risk of infection, bleeding, or complications and ensures optimal results.
Improvements are noticeable within weeks, with refinement continuing as swelling subsides. A male facelift provides long-lasting results—often 10 years or more—while the natural aging process continues.
Expect a natural appearance with sharper contours, a youthful position of facial structures, and preserved masculine features.
A defined jawline, strong profile, and firm skin are central to a youthful, masculine appearance. For men experiencing sagging skin, loose skin, or deep lines, a male facelift provides precise correction, restoring structure without compromising masculine features.
