WHAT SHOULD MEN CONSIDER BEFORE UNDERGOING A FACELIFT?

Considering a facial cosmetic procedure is not easy. When you are deciding to undergo the process, you carry out thorough research and prepare a list of questions that you would ask the surgeon during your first consultation. Women aren’t the only ones who want to fight the signs of aging and look younger. Men want to look as young as they feel too. More and more men are choosing male Facelift Toronto. If you are a man who is looking to undergo a facelift procedure, here is all you should 

keep in mind during your consultation.

What is a male facelift?

When you are looking to combat signs of aging, it is crucial that you know that it is not unusual for men to undergo cosmetic procedures like a facelift. By the time men start to consider a facelift procedure, they have put on a considerable amount of weight. Men usually gain about 15 to 25 pounds between the ages of 25 and 45 years. This significant weight gain results in sagging of the skin and the excess fat stored in three major areas. These areas are: under the shin, along the jawline, and in the upper eyelids. The facelift procedure has been designed to tighten the skin and remove the excess fat in all these three areas. Once the jaw has been well defined, and the excess fat under the chin has been removed, you will regain your masculine appearance. However, before you undergo surgery, it is essential that you reach your weight goal before that. If you lose weight after the procedure, it could cause excess skin sagging again, which would then make you undergo another Facelift procedure.

Male facelift to make you look masculine and younger.

The basic structure of both a male and a female face is the same. The techniques used in the procedure are almost similar, with very subtle differences. In the procedure, the tiny incisions are made around the ears or the upper browns, following which the skin is tightened, and the underlying tissues and muscles are repositioned. There are different hairlines and beard-lines in men, and every effort is made to hide the incisions. The beard growth and receding hairline are considered before undergoing the procedure.

What is the recovery process like?

Before undergoing the procedure, the surgeon would share pre and post-op instructions with you that you need to follow to the letter. These instructions will help in the best results and smoother recovery time. Two weeks of downtime is recommended after the procedure. Whenever you are planning to undergo surgery, make sure you can take out time from the schedule. Women are usually able to hide the scars and bruises with the help of makeup. However, in men’s case, the scars and bruises are usually visible for a longer time. But you could always use subtle corrective makeup to hide them. During your time off make sure you are getting enough rest.
