In the current era, there is a growing trend of men actively seeking facial plastic surgery. Three of the most common procedures sought out by male patients are rhinoplasty, neck lift, and eyelid surgery.
Male Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a common procedure to address nasal deformities in men. The nasal shape can play a vital role in contributing to a masculine appearance. Certain features differentiate masculine from feminine noses. A strong dorsum with a straight bridge or a slight hump maintains masculinity. A scooped profile is perceived as more feminine. Tip rotation is another factor that can contribute to a more masculine or feminine appearance, with less rotation maintaining more masculinity.
Men often seek out rhinoplasty to correct a crooked nose, a large dorsal hump, a long nose, a wide nasal tip, a drooping nasal tip, or nasal asymmetries. Functional breathing issues can also be addressed with a septorhinoplasty.
Male Neck Lift
The pursuit of refined neck and jaw contours has become increasingly popular among men. A strong jawline and well-defined profile are essential masculine features that significantly impact a man's overall aesthetic. Many individuals turn to neck lift procedures to address concerns such as a double chin, sagging neck skin, or the colloquially termed "turkey neck." Combining a neck lift with a facelift can comprehensively address both neck concerns and facial jowls.
In contemporary neck lift procedures, discreet incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and just beneath the chin. These small incisions give Dr. Best optimal access to the inner structures of the neck while minimizing scarring. This access allows for the precise removal of excess fatty deposits, the strategic tightening of neck muscles, and the elimination of redundant loose skin, all contributing to a more sculpted neck and jawline.
Male Eyelid and Brow Surgery
Eyelid and brow surgery can be effective ways to achieve a natural, well rested look for men. An upper blepharoplasty can be used to address dropping or sagging upper eyelid skin. A lower blepharoplasty can be used to correct undereye bags, dark circles, and sagging skin. A brow lift can be used to elevate heavy or low-lying brows to help patient’s look more rested.
