What it is
A male facelift lifts and repositions the deeper tissues of the lower face and jawline and removes excess skin to address sagging and a softening jaw, while preserving masculine features and a natural, unoperated look.
Men have particular considerations, including beard-bearing skin, which affects incision planning, and a generally richer blood supply, which can make careful control of bleeding especially important. Incisions are planned around the hairline and ear with these factors in mind.
What it can improve
- Sagging of the lower face and jowls
- A softening jawline and definition
- Loose skin and deeper folds of the lower face
It does not lift the brow or rejuvenate the eyes on its own, does not change skin quality, and does not stop ongoing aging.
Before the procedure
You will receive individualized preparation guidance. Incision planning around beard-bearing skin and the hairline is discussed at consultation.
During the procedure
Through incisions planned around the ear and hairline, the deeper facial tissues are lifted and repositioned and excess skin is removed, with careful control of bleeding and attention to a natural, masculine result.
After the procedure
Swelling and bruising are expected and settle over weeks. Beard growth may shift slightly near incisions. Activity is increased gradually under guidance.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A refreshed lower face and jawline with preserved masculine features are achievable. A facelift cannot stop aging, does not address the brow or eyes alone, and scars, though well concealed, are permanent.
Possible risks and complications
All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
- Bleeding or hematoma, a particular consideration in men
- Infection
- Temporary or, rarely, lasting injury to facial nerve branches
- Changes in skin sensation
- Visible scarring or beard-line changes near incisions
- Asymmetry
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential. Men have a relatively higher risk of post-operative bleeding, so careful technique and aftercare matter.
Who it suits
A male facelift may suit men with lower-face sagging who want a natural result. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Have jowling or a softening jawline
- Want a refreshed but natural, masculine appearance
- Have realistic expectations about what a facelift addresses
- Are in good general health
- Do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit men whose main concern is the brow or eyes, or skin quality, which need different treatments. Your surgeon advises on the right combination.

What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.

All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
