Dermal Fillers for Men

Plastic surgery has always been dominated by women, but men are increasingly showing interest in cosmetic procedures to restore their youth. Although dermal fillers are more commonly used by women, men may actually make better candidates.

Watch the following video to see why dermal fillers for volume restoration are ideal for men, who will likely not need a facelift the way that women often do.

Common Facial Problem Areas and How to Fix Them

As we age, the features of our faces change and the skin of our head and neck becomes wrinkled over time. These effects are caused by several factors, including sun damage, skin dehydration, and changing bone structure. The signs of aging can be reversed through the use of cosmetic surgery, injectable medicines and fillers, and chemical peels. Procedures and treatments designed to eliminate wrinkles of the face and restore a youthful appearance fall within the field of cosmetic surgery called “facial rejuvenation.”

Here are some of the more common areas addressed by cosmetic surgeons:

Eyes and Eyelids
One of the most visible signs of aging is drooping or sagging skin under the eyes. This sagging can give a puffy, tired appearance to the eyes. Cosmetic surgeons can remove small flaps of skin from beneath the eyes in order to tighten the skin and smooth out wrinkles in a procedure known as blepharoplasty. The operation is often done on an outpatient basis and typically takes one to three hours.

Cheeks and Jowls
Over time, the bones of the face change their shape and become thinner and smaller. This can create subtle but noticeable differences in the face which are commonly associated with aging. A facelift (rhytidectomy) can help to eliminate the wrinkles caused by sagging skin. The creases around the nose and mouth, called marionette lines for their resemblance to a doll’s face, can be filled in by using injectable collagen or other dermal fillers.

Forehead and Brow
Deep wrinkles in the forehead are a common sign of age. They can inadvertently display anger, seriousness, tiredness, or other unintended emotions. A brow lift is an operation to tighten the skin around the forehead and eyebrows in order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

4 Benefits of Combining Facelift and Neck Lift Procedures

If you’re considering a facelift or neck lift to remove age-related wrinkles and regain a youthful appearance, then your cosmetic surgeon may recommend combining the procedures. There are several advantages to undergoing both operations simultaneously, including saving time and money and eliminating unnecessary risk.

Here are some of the benefits of a combined rhytidectomy (facelift) and neck lift:

Improved appearance
A neck lift is often called a “mini facelift” and the two operations are quite similar. A neck lift can enhance the strength of the jaw line and gives a more natural overall appearance when combined with a facelift.

Shorter recovery time
By undergoing a neck lift and facelift at the same time, the body can heal from both procedures together. Undergoing two separate operations can add weeks of preparation and recovery time.

Lower cost
Many surgeons discount their fees for combined cosmetic procedures. Each time an operating room is set up, costs are incurred and instruments must be sterilized. Anesthesiologists charge an additional fee per visit for their services. By performing two procedures simultaneously, surgeons can keep costs down and pass them on to the patient.

Less risk
Though the risks of surgery are low, complications like bleeding and blood clots can occur. By combining procedures and reducing the total number of operations, less total time is spent under general anesthesia.

A combined facelift and neck lift operation can take years off of your face and restore your confidence, self-esteem, and youthful appearance.
