What makes Male Facelift Surgery different than their female counterparts?
Male Facelift Surgery with Dr. Jose Barrera differs from facelift surgery for women in that particular attention to detail regarding incision placement is paramount. Men are influenced by visible scars on the face. Most men cannot wear long hair to hide incisions around the ear. More so, men without a hairline and bald men who desire a facelift have a difficult time hiding their scars.
Although a challenge to most plastic surgeons, Dr. Barrera embraces the challenge by hiding scars behind the ears and in front of the ear lobule. These limited incisions will be the entry point to elevating the superficial muscle and fat layers of the face called the SMAS. A limited incision with a deep plane elevation of the SMAS is a signature facelift of Dr. Barrera. Dr. Barrera’s technique includes the MIDE facelift, a minimal incision deep plane elevation, which benefits men because it limits scarring. In combination with a robust neck lift and submental removal of fat, improvement in the male jawline can be achieved.
