the male face-lift is infinitely more demanding than the female because of all the blood supply. see a male’s face has a much richer blood supply to support the thicker skin and the beard. all male skin generally is thicker than the comparable female. and the beard demands extra nutrition so we spend a lot more time there. so that’s whatever time we quote for a woman we have to add on almost 45 minutes to an hour longer for a man. and in terms of cutting and rearranging features is there a difference? yeah the incision is different because a man’s incision if done as a woman’s placed in the curvature of the ear the man would be shaving inside his ear canal because you slide up hair bearing skin. so on a man you have to put the incision in front here. it actually takes a little longer to close also since that incision is more visible to the eye it has to be absolutely primo. not that we don’t try to be primo in these other areas but they lend themselves to easier healing fewer stitches. this you have to have at least two layers of stitches so that there’s not stretching. it’s just more complex.
why is a male face lift more difficult to do?
