Male facial surgery has evolved significantly, with procedures specifically tailored to preserve and enhance masculine features while correcting various concerns.

Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Sanchez-Navarro, is an expert in male procedures, helping thousands of patients restore their youthful appearance and create a chiseled look.

Types of Male Facial Surgery

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is one of the most popular facial surgical procedures for men. This surgery can address both aesthetic concerns and functional issues with the nose. The procedure may reduce nose size, straighten a crooked nose, remove bumps on the bridge, refine the nasal tip, or improve breathing by correcting a deviated septum. The surgery typically focuses on maintaining strong, masculine features for men while creating better facial harmony. Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks, with final results appearing after several months as the swelling completely subsides.

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation, or mentoplasty, is particularly popular among male patients seeking to enhance their facial profile and strengthen their jawline. The procedure typically involves placing a custom-fitted silicone implant over the existing chin bone to create a more projected and defined chin. This cosmetic surgery can improve facial balance, especially for men with a weak or receding chin. It may be performed alone or in combination with rhinoplasty. Recovery time is relatively short, with most patients returning to normal activities within 7-10 days.

Facelift

Dr. Sanchez-Navarro performs deep plane facelifts, the gold standard in male facial rejuvenation. Unlike traditional facelift surgery, this technique addresses deeper tissues and underlying muscles, resulting in a more natural-looking outcome without a pulled or tight appearance. The facelift procedure targets sagging skin in the mid-face, jowls, and neck areas, effectively reversing signs of aging while maintaining masculine features. This technique is particularly effective for men, as it preserves hair patterns and avoids visible scars along the hairline. Recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks, with results lasting 10-15 years.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a popular choice for men looking to address aging around the eyes. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids to remove excess skin that causes a hooded appearance, and on the lower eyelids to reduce bags and puffiness. It focuses on maintaining a natural masculine eye shape while creating a more alert and refreshed look. The surgery can also improve peripheral vision in cases where upper eyelid skin obstructs sight. Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, with minimal visible scarring as incisions are made in eye creases.

Consultation & Preparation for Male Facial Surgery

Preparation for male facial surgery involves a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sanchez-Navarro to evaluate individual goals, skin elasticity, and facial anatomy. During this process, he reviews the patient’s medical history, discusses desired outcomes, and examines potential risks and benefits to ensure realistic expectations. Pre-surgical guidelines typically include refraining from smoking, discontinuing certain medications or supplements, and undergoing the necessary medical tests to optimize safety. Additionally, a detailed plan for recovery and aftercare is often outlined to help ensure a smooth healing process and the best possible results.

Recovery After Male

First Day

The first 24 hours typically involve managing swelling, bruising, and discomfort with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses. Surgical dressings or bandages protect the treated areas, and patients are usually advised to rest with their head elevated to minimize symptoms. It is common to feel tightness or sensitivity in the face during this time.

Week 1

In the first week, swelling and bruising are more prominent but gradually subside. Depending on the procedure, stitches or sutures may be removed around the fifth to seventh day. We encourage light walking to promote circulation, but strenuous activities must be avoided. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to monitor healing progress and address any concerns.

Weeks 2–3

By the second and third weeks, most visible bruising has resolved, and swelling continues to diminish. Some residual tightness or numbness may persist, particularly after procedures like facelifts or rhinoplasty. Many patients feel comfortable resuming work or social activities during this period, provided they avoid excessive physical strain.

Weeks 4–6

The face starts looking more natural between weeks four and six as most swelling subsides. Minor irregularities in contour or texture often improve during this time. Strenuous physical activities are reintroduced gradually, starting from light cardio exercise and slowly progressing to strength training. Final results become more apparent.

Months 3–6

Complete recovery and full refinement of results can take three to six months. During this time, swelling and any residual numbness or tightness gradually resolve. The facial tissues settle into their final position, revealing the desired outcome of the surgery. Regular follow-up visits ensure optimal healing and satisfaction with the results.

Add-On Procedures

Laser Skin Resurfacing

This treatment uses focused light beams to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production. It is considered safer and more effective than chemical peels because it offers more precise control and reduces the risk of adverse reactions. The procedure addresses wrinkles, age spots, and minor scarring.
