Harvard-Trained Expertise in Male Facial Rejuvenation

Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Frank Fechner, MD, has performed over 10,000 facial cosmetic procedures at his AAAHC-accredited surgical center in Worcester. As a Harvard Medical School educator who focuses exclusively on surgery of the face and neck, Dr. Fechner brings an in-depth understanding of male facial anatomy to every procedure, prioritizing results that look natural, never tight or overdone.

What Is a Male Facelift?

A male facelift, or rhytidectomy, repositions sagging facial and neck tissues, removes excess skin, and restores youthful contours to the jawline and neck. Because male skin is thicker with a greater blood supply, the procedure requires modified techniques. In particular, Dr. Fechner is known to achieve this well-defined neck region for his male patients; a feature that is so important for a healthy and fit man.

Dr. Fechner places incisions strategically in front of the tragus to keep scarring discreet without disrupting beard growth or hairline.

Male Facelift FAQs

Will a facelift affect my ability to grow facial hair?

Are facelift scars noticeable with short hair?

At what age do most men get a facelift?

Can I return to the gym after a male facelift?

Will a facelift affect my ability to grow facial hair?

Properly placed incisions should not interfere with your natural beard growth pattern. Dr. Fechner's incision technique is specifically designed to preserve beard-bearing skin in order to minimize changes in its normal anatomical position.

Are facelift scars noticeable with short hair?

Incisions are placed along the natural contours of the ear and within the hairline, making them difficult to detect even with closely cropped hair. Many of Dr. Fechner’s patients find that any faint scarring becomes virtually invisible within several months.

At what age do most men get a facelift?

Men in their late forties through sixties represent the most common age group, though Dr. Fechner has performed successful facelifts on patients well beyond that range. The best determining factor is your individual anatomy and degree of aging, rather than a specific number.

Can I return to the gym after a male facelift?

Light walking is encouraged within the first week to promote circulation, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least two weeks after surgery. Dr. Fechner and his team will provide you with a personalized activity timeline during your post-operative visits.
