Facial plastic surgery is never one-size-fits-all. Every face is unique, and so are the aesthetic goals of each patient. For men, this is especially true. The surgical techniques, artistic vision, and desired results often differ significantly from what women seek in facial rejuvenation. At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery, serving Denver and Beverly Hills, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Keith Ladner is highly experienced in performing procedures that preserve and enhance masculine features.
Key Differences in Facial Anatomy
Male facial anatomy is structurally different from female anatomy. Men typically have thicker skin, more prominent bone structure, and stronger jawlines. The presence of more vascular skin means that tissues respond differently to surgery. Furthermore, male patterns of hair/facial hair growth require different incision placements.
An expert facial plastic surgeon must account for these differences to produce natural results. For example, when performing a facelift or neck procedure, Dr. Ladner carefully plans incision placement to work with hair patterns and minimize visibility. He also tailors the depth and vector of tissue repositioning to maintain masculine contours.
Differences in Aesthetic Goals
Most men seeking facial plastic surgery want to look refreshed instead of dramatically different. They often want to maintain a strong, chiseled appearance while softening signs of aging. Common goals include reducing jowls, improving neck definition, smoothing deep wrinkles, and restoring a rested appearance.
Whereas some women may desire more facial shaping or volume enhancement, men usually prioritize a subtle, natural outcome that respects their facial identity. Achieving this balance requires not only surgical skill but an understanding of male aesthetics — something that comes from years of dedicated experience.
