The fact is that men have fewer facelifts than women. But that is beginning to change according to Dr. Lloyd Krieger, founder and medical director of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery. “What we’ve realized is that we have to do different procedures or use a different style,” said Krieger. Let’s face it. Men and women are different – their skin is different and their problems are different. “Men need different procedures or the same procedure done stylistically differently,” he explained. Procedures like a direct necklift – removing excess skin rather than pulling it up like a traditional facelift – may leave a scar, but men have thicker skin and more hair follicles, which help with the healing process so it is less of a concern. “While we’re in there we also tighten the muscle,” he added. This is a procedure traditionally not done in women. A few of the more common procedures men are requesting are peels, Botox, and liposuction. Lipo removes fat accumulation for men in areas like under the chin, chest, tummy, and love handles – defining the muscles underneath. “Men want a solid and chiseled look, so we are more aggressive in liposuction so that the pec and ab muscles are more visible. It’s a stylistic difference.”
