Dr. Henry A. Mentz, III, MD, PA, FACS, FICS - Before & After's

Facelift for Men

The four components that are evaluated for facial rejuvenation are: skin, fat, muscle and bone. A face lift, or Rhytidectomy, is a procedure for reversing the signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles and reshaping the skin of your face and neck. Incisions for a facelift usually begin hidden above the hairline at the temples, and extend in a natural line around the ear to the lower scalp. After removing excess fat and skin, and tightening the underlying muscles, the incisions are sutured.

Dr. Mentz may suggest other procedures to maximize your appearance goals, such as laser resurfacing for fine wrinkles, fat injections, nose reshaping, or facial implants. A procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids or forehead may also be performed along with a facelift. Collagen replacement and chemical peels are other options for facial rejuvenation. Computer imaging can allow Dr. Mentz to develop a plan to assist you in achieving your appearance goals.
