Procedure

What is a Male Facelift?

A Male Facelift is a highly individualised facial rejuvenation procedure designed to restore a stronger jawline, improve neck definition and address visible signs of ageing while preserving masculine facial characteristics. By repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, the procedure can create a younger, more defined appearance without looking overdone.

Performed by Dr Yannis Alexandrides, every Male Facelift is planned around the individual anatomy of the face, including skin thickness, tissue descent, jawline structure and facial hair patterns. The objective is not to change how you look, but to create a refreshed and rejuvenated version of you while maintaining natural facial balance and masculine character.

Where appropriate, Male Facelift surgery may also be combined with a Neck Lift, Blepharoplasty, Facial Fat Transfer, micrografting or advanced skin resurfacing for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Expected Effects & Benefits

Restores a stronger jawline and more defined neck
Softens jowling and lower-face heaviness
Improves deeper facial folds where appropriate
Preserves masculine facial proportions
Considers natural beard and hair growth patterns
Creates long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation

Your Journey

Your Male Facelift Journey

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr Yannis Alexandrides. He takes time to understand your concerns, medical history, lifestyle and desired result while assessing your facial anatomy, skin quality, tissue descent, jawline, neck and natural facial proportions.

The consultation determines whether a Male Facelift is right for you or whether another surgical, non-surgical or combined approach would achieve a better result. Your dedicated Patient Care Coordinator will be your first point of contact and guide you throughout your journey at 111 Harley St.

Ahead of surgery, eligible patients receive a Skin Diagnostic Scan alongside a comprehensive pre-operative medical assessment. This allows our team to understand your skin health and overall wellbeing and create a personalised preparation and recovery protocol.

Our specialist nursing team, led by Lead Nurse Zuzana Pavlovska, will guide you through your clinical preparation and what to expect before and after surgery.

Your pre-operative pathway includes medical screening and checks appropriate to your health, anaesthetic and surgical plan, alongside clear guidance on medication, supplements, smoking, nutrition and preparing for recovery.

Incision placement and surgical planning also take into account your hairline, sideburns and beard growth patterns to preserve a natural masculine appearance.

Skin health forms an important part of our 360° approach. As the founder of 111SKIN, Dr Yannis has long championed scientifically led skincare before and after facial surgery.

Your personalised preparation may include 111SKIN homecare, Dramatic Healing Serum, selected supplements, LED light therapy and other treatments where appropriate to optimise skin condition and support recovery.

Your Male Facelift is individually planned and performed under TIVA Anaesthesia, with Dr Yannis repositioning the deeper facial structures to restore definition while respecting masculine proportions and facial hair patterns.

Following surgery, our specialist nursing team supports your recovery through clinical reviews, wound and scar care and personalised protocols that may include ELIXIR, LED light therapy, Endermologie, 111SKIN skincare and nutritional support where appropriate.

As healing progresses, we continue to review your facial contours, scars and skin quality. Your personalised long-term care programme may incorporate 111SKIN, UltraClear laser resurfacing, regenerative treatments, injectables or advanced non-surgical treatments where appropriate.

With surgical, skin and non-surgical specialists under one roof, your care can continue to evolve with you and support the quality and longevity of your result.

Procedure

How does a Male Facelift work?

A Male Facelift works by repositioning the deeper facial support structures rather than relying on tension at the skin. Through carefully planned incisions around the ears and, where appropriate, within the hairline, Dr Yannis can restore support through the lower face, jawline and neck while considering the position of the beard and sideburns.

Depending on your anatomy and degree of ageing, this may involve repositioning the SMAS layer and addressing laxity extending into the neck. Excess skin is conservatively removed before the remaining skin is redraped naturally, preserving the stronger angles and proportions characteristic of the male face.

UNDERSTANDING MALE FACIAL ANATOMY:

Male skin is generally thicker and facial tissues can be heavier
Jawline structure and facial proportions influence the direction of lift
Beard, sideburn and hairline positioning require careful surgical planning
The pattern and degree of facial ageing varies significantly between individuals

WHY MASCULINE PRESERVATION MATTERS:

The objective is to rejuvenate rather than feminise the face
Tissue repositioning is planned to restore stronger facial definition
Beard growth patterns and masculine proportions are considered throughout

The result is designed to look younger, stronger and more refreshed while remaining unmistakably you.

Procedure

Surgical Techniques & Technology

Male SMAS Repositioning

Repositions the deeper facial support structures to restore stronger lower-face and jawline definition.

Beard-Preserving Incisions

Incision placement is carefully planned around facial hair patterns, sideburns and the natural contours of the ear.

Jawline & Neck Refinement

Addresses tissue descent through the lower face and neck to restore a cleaner, more defined profile.

Neck Lift

Where appropriate, a Neck Lift can be combined with a Male Facelift to address neck laxity and improve jawline-to-neck definition.

Bespoke Surgical Planning

Dr Yannis adapts the technique, direction and extent of repositioning according to your anatomy, ageing pattern and masculine facial proportions.

Facial Fat Transfer

Where facial volume has changed with age, Facial Fat Transfer or micrografting may be considered to restore balance and natural-looking volume.

Your Journey

Recovery Timeline

1–2 Weeks

Initial swelling and bruising progressively subside during the first two weeks. Many patients feel comfortable returning to desk-based work and everyday activities within 7–10 days, depending on their individual recovery.

2–6 Weeks

The face continues to settle as residual swelling and bruising reduce and jawline and neck definition become clearer. By around six weeks, many patients feel confident returning to important social occasions and events.

6 Weeks–6 Months

Facial tissues continue to settle and contours become increasingly refined and natural. Subtle changes continue throughout this period as the face heals.

6–12 Months

For some patients, subtle refinement and scar maturation can continue for up to 12 months as the final result becomes established. Recovery varies between patients. Your progress will be reviewed by Dr Yannis Alexandrides and our clinical team throughout your post-operative journey.

Suitability & Safety

Am I suitable for a Male Facelift?

Ideal Candidate Profile

A Male Facelift may be suitable if you have jowling, loss of jawline or neck definition, lower-face heaviness, loose skin, or deeper facial folds, and want to look younger while preserving your natural masculine features.
Suitability is based on your facial anatomy, tissue descent, skin quality, health and desired result rather than age alone.

Risks & Complications

All surgery carries potential risks. These may include bleeding, infection, haematoma, fluid build-up, delayed healing, scarring, temporary or persistent numbness, asymmetry, hairline changes, skin complications, nerve weakness, contour irregularities, anaesthetic complications and blood clots.
During consultation, Dr Yannis will determine which facelift technique, or alternative surgical or non-surgical approach, is most appropriate for you.

  Very Impressed With My Rhinoplasty I had been unhappy with the shape of my nose for years and finally decided to look into rhinoplasty. Choosing the right surgeon and clinic was extremely important to me, so I spent a lot of time researching before booking my consultation at 111 Harley St. The consultation was detailed and reassuring, and I appreciated the focus on achieving a result that suited my face rather than simply changing my nose. The whole process was handled professionally, from the initial consultation through to the follow-up appointments. My nose now looks much more balanced with the rest of my face, and the improvement is significant without looking artificial.

  I had my consultation with Anna and honestly couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She took the time to really listen to all of my concerns and went through everything with me in so much detail, including the different treatment options. I really appreciated how thorough and attentive she was, and the whole consultation felt very personal and tailored specifically to me rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I felt really comfortable and well looked after. I’m really happy with the experience and will definitely be coming back for my treatment. Thank you so much, Anna!

  A Wonderful Experience I decided to explore a Y Facelift after becoming increasingly unhappy with the loss of definition around my lower face. I was initially quite nervous about having facial surgery, so having a detailed consultation was really important to me. Everything was explained clearly and I felt comfortable asking lots of questions. I’m so pleased with the outcome my face looks fresher and more defined, but it still looks completely like me.

  The Best Decision I Made I had a facelift at 111 Harley Street. From my very first consultation, I felt completely comfortable and confident that I was in safe hands. The surgeon took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve and explained every stage of the process clearly, from the operation itself to the recovery and expected results. The care I received was outstanding from start to finish. Every member of the team was kind, professional, and incredibly supportive. They were always available to answer any questions, and I felt genuinely looked after throughout my entire journey. Now that I've fully recovered, I am absolutely delighted with the results. I look refreshed, younger, and far more confident, while still looking completely natural. The best compliment I've received is that people keep telling me I look really well without realising I've had surgery. It's exactly the subtle, natural result I was hoping for. Choosing 111 Harley Street was one of the best decisions I've made. The expertise, attention to detail, and exceptional aftercare exceeded all of my expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a facelift.

I had plastic surgery from doctor Ashvani in 2019 and he messed up my tummy completely. I lost all my sensation in my tummy area and after 7 years, I still regret of having tummy tuck with him. He stitched my whole tummy tuck area without leaving drainage after the operation. I ended up having this massive hole in my tummy area. I have the most horrible scars and I don’t wear bikini for not showing my belly button. You can see how bad his stitches are from the photo. Please do your research before you trust him so you don’t regret like I did. My friend had similar operation in Turkey and you would not even notice she had plastic surgery.my advice is  go to Turkey to have proper plastic surgery with surgeons who knows how do operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Male Facelift different from a standard facelift?

The principles of facelift surgery are similar, but male facial anatomy requires specific consideration. Skin thickness, facial tissue, jawline proportions, hairline position and beard growth patterns can all influence surgical planning and incision placement.

Dr Yannis Alexandrides tailors the technique to the individual face, with the aim of restoring definition while preserving masculine proportions and natural facial character.

Will I still look like myself?

Yes. The aim of a Male Facelift is to rejuvenate your appearance rather than change your identity. Dr Yannis carefully restores facial support and definition while preserving your natural expressions, proportions and masculine features.

The objective is for you to look younger, more rested and refreshed while still looking unmistakably like yourself.

Am I too young or too old for a Male Facelift?

Age alone does not determine whether a Male Facelift is appropriate. Some men develop visible jowling and neck laxity earlier, while others maintain facial definition much later in life.

Dr Yannis will assess your anatomy, tissue descent, skin quality and concerns before recommending the most appropriate surgical or non-surgical approach.

How long does recovery take?

Many patients feel comfortable returning to desk-based work within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising continue to reduce over the following weeks as facial and neck definition becomes clearer.

By around six weeks, many patients feel confident returning to important social occasions and events, although subtle refinement continues over the following months.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are carefully positioned around the natural contours of the ears and hairline, with placement planned to respect beard and sideburn growth patterns. Scars are visible during early healing but generally soften and become less noticeable over time.

Your 360° aftercare programme includes clinical follow-up and personalised scar and skin support to help optimise healing.

How long do Male Facelift results last?

Male Facelift results can remain visible for approximately 10–15 years, although longevity varies according to anatomy, skin quality, lifestyle, genetics and the natural ageing process.

Personalised skincare and selected non-surgical treatments may also form part of your long-term care programme to support skin quality and optimise your result.

Can a Male Facelift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Depending on your anatomy and desired result, a Male Facelift may be combined with a Neck Lift, Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, Facial Fat Transfer, micrografting or other facial procedures for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Advanced skin resurfacing, including UltraClear, may also be considered where appropriate to improve skin quality alongside structural facial rejuvenation.

Can non-surgical treatments achieve the same result?

Non-surgical treatments can improve skin quality, restore volume and address some of the earlier signs of ageing. However, when more significant tissue descent, jowling or skin laxity has developed, surgery can provide a level of structural repositioning that non-surgical treatments cannot replicate.

During consultation, Dr Yannis Alexandrides will determine whether a surgical, non-surgical or combined approach is most appropriate for your concerns.
