Are there any differences with men having facelifts?
Definitely. At the time of facelift surgery in Denver we need to take into account a number of anatomic differences between women and men to assure the best result. Due to the vascularity of the beard, men are at slight increased risk for bleeding but they also seem to heal a bit more quickly, with less bruising and quicker resolution of swelling. Facelift incisions need to be different to avoid hairy ears. There are issues regarding shaving after facelift surgery due to mobilization and repositioning of the hair-bearing cheek skin. These issues are emphasized during Dr. Murphy’s consultations with men who desire the improvements facial plastic surgery can offer.
