MALE FACELIFT PROCEDURE
A male facelift is tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure, hairline, and specific rejuvenation goals. Dr. Sedgh’s technique avoids excessive alterations, instead focusing on achieving a refined, naturally youthful look.
Procedure Steps:
Sedation and Anesthesia
The procedure begins with local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and patient preferences.
Incision Placement
Dr. Sedgh carefully plans incision locations to minimize visible scarring, taking into account beard growth, hairline, and sideburn placement to ensure natural results. The incisions are typically made around the ears and along natural creases to avoid significant shifts in facial hair placement.
Lifting and Repositioning
Dr. Sedgh lifts and repositions the underlying facial tissues to restore volume and youthful contours. He may redistribute fat or use fillers, implants, or fat grafting as needed to enhance facial structure and symmetry.
Suturing and Closure
The skin is re-draped smoothly over the underlying tissues, and excess skin is removed. Incisions are then closed with sutures, and bandages are applied to aid healing.
The surgery typically lasts 3-4 hours, or up to 6 hours if combined with other procedures such as a neck lift, facial implants, or skin resurfacing.
