In the field of aesthetics, an increasing number of men are looking into surgical procedures to improve the appearance of their neck. Necklift surgery for men is gaining popularity as a transformative solution for improving the male neck’s aesthetics. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz understands that male neck aesthetics differ significantly from female neck aesthetics. Men frequently want a strong, angular neck profile with a commanding presence. Achieving an ideal masculine neck contour often involves addressing a well-defined jawline, a prominent Adam’s apple, and minimal excess skin or fat. Furthermore, men have facial hair which alters the aesthetics and quality of the skin of the neck.

A masculine neck features:

• Strong Jawline: A masculine neck features a well-defined jawline. It personifies a sense of strength and virility that many men strive for.
• Taut Skin: Excessive sagging skin can give the appearance of being older. Men typically desire taut, youthful skin that complements their overall facial features.
• Adam’s Apple: The prominent Adam’s apple adds a distinguishing feature to the male neck. Depending on the patient’s preferences, this feature can be enhanced or preserved during a necklift procedure.

How a Neck Lift Can Enhance the Male Neck

Necklift surgery for men is an effective way to achieve the desired masculine aesthetic. This procedure combines techniques to produce a more defined contour and rejuvenated appearance.

• Excess Skin Removal: Removing excess skin is one of the primary goals of a necklift. Skin elasticity declines in men as they age, resulting in sagging and wrinkles. The neck can be made firmer and more youthful by removing loose skin under the chin.
• Muscle Tightening: With age, the neck muscles can weaken, resulting in a loss of definition. These muscles are tightened and repositioned during a necklift, which helps to restore a more sculpted appearance.
• Liposuction: Excess fat deposits may contribute to a lack of neck definition in some cases. Liposuction can be used as part of the procedure to remove these fat pockets and improve the jawline and neck contours.

Candidates for Surgery

Typical candidates include men who:

• Have neck sagging or loose skin
• Desire a younger, more defined neck profile
• Are in good health overall
• Set reasonable expectations for the outcome

During your consultation, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Solomon Azouz will take a medical history and perform a thorough examination to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Benefits of Surgery

There are many advantages of a male neck lift surgery including:

• Improved neck definition
• Reduction of sagging skin and a double chin
• Enhanced jawline
• Youthful and rejuvenated appearance
• Boost in self-confidence

Neck Lift Surgery for Men

To minimize visible scarring, Dr. Azouz makes strategically placed incisions, often behind the ears and under the chin. To achieve a more sculpted appearance, excess fat and skin are removed, and neck muscles are tightened. Incisions are carefully closed to ensure minimal scarring.

Anesthesia Used During Surgery

Individual patient needs and preferences influence the type of anesthesia used. Local anesthesia with sedation is a common option for neck lift surgery, as it alleviates pain and keeps the patient comfortable throughout the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Azouz will go over your anesthesia options with you.

Risks of Surgery

Necklift surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries risks such as infection, scarring, hematoma (collection of blood under the skin), and adverse reactions to anesthesia. These risks, however, are minimized when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon like Dr. Azouz.

Recovering from a Neck Lift Surgery

Recovering from a drainless male necklift surgery is an important step toward achieving a more defined and youthful neck contour. Unlike traditional necklift procedures that use drains to manage post-operative fluid accumulation, a drainless approach reduces discomfort and simplifies the recovery process. Swelling and bruising are normal after any surgical procedure. To ensure a smooth and successful recovery, it’s critical to follow Dr. Azouz’s specific post- operative instructions, which include wearing compression garments and attending follow-up appointments. As the swelling goes down and the tissues settle, the results of the male necklift surgery become more visible, leaving you with a more defined and confident neck appearance.

Other Surgeries That Can Be Combined

To achieve a harmonious overall facial appearance, necklift surgery is frequently combined with other procedures such as facelift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, liposuction, or gynecomastia surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Azouz will discuss appropriate options with you.

Cost of Surgery

Necklift surgery for men costs vary depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure, anesthesia, and facility fees. Dr. Azouz will provide you with a personalized quote based on your specific needs during your consultation.
