For a lot of men, the aging process shows up slowly—until one day, the mirror reflects someone who looks more tired or older than they feel inside. That’s where male facelift surgery can make a real difference. At ARC Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Jeremy White helps men tighten sagging skin, restore natural contours, and walk out with a stronger, more confident look.
As a double board-certified plastic surgeon with specialized training in both plastic and facial plastic surgery, Dr. White brings a rare level of skill to the table. He understands the differences in a man’s facial skin, bone structure, and aesthetic goals. His goal? To deliver facial rejuvenation that keeps your masculine features intact while turning back the clock in a way that still looks like you.
What is a Male Facelift?
A male facelift is a facial plastic surgery procedure that lifts and tightens areas of the lower face and neck. It’s focused on correcting loose skin, softening deep lines, and improving jawline definition, especially around the cheeks, chin, and neck. For many men, it also helps address facial volume loss and jowls, which can blur the strong angles that define a masculine appearance.
Men’s faces tend to age differently than women’s—thicker skin, stronger facial muscles, and facial hair all play a role. That’s why Dr. White doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, he adjusts his facelift techniques to suit the structure of the male face while focusing on safety and natural-looking outcomes.
Dr. White primarily performs a SMAS facelift, which goes deeper than just pulling the skin. It lifts the supportive layer under the surface (called the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) and targets the underlying muscle for more lasting results. He also works on the deep fat pockets in the front of the neck, using select elements of a deep plane facelift without the added risks. This method balances impact with safety, especially near the nerves.
Male Facelift Benefits
A facelift isn’t about looking like someone else—it’s about looking like the best version of yourself. For many men, that means regaining the sharper, more structured features they had in their 30s or 40s. Whether you’ve noticed drooping skin, facial wrinkles, or a “heavier” look through the jawline, facelift surgery can help.
What male facelift surgery can improve:
The real benefit? A more rested, confident look that still feels like you. A more refreshed appearance.
Male Facelift Candidates
Most men who choose facelift surgery are in their 40s, 50s, or 60s, but age isn’t the only factor. If you’ve started noticing changes in your facial appearance—things like sagging skin, frown lines, or jowls—you might be a candidate. It’s especially helpful for men who want a more defined facial structure and are looking for a long-term fix, not just a temporary improvement.
Good candidates for male facelift surgery:
Dr. White meets with every patient for a one-on-one consultation to talk through goals, options, and medical history. Certain conditions—like uncontrolled high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, or severe health issues—could affect whether surgery is right for you.
Dr. White’s Facelift for Men Technique
Dr. White uses an exact facelift procedure that combines experience with precision. He uses a SMAS technique that targets the deeper layers of the face, not just the surface. This allows for better, longer-lasting results without creating an overdone or tight look.
What sets his technique apart is how he also works on the deep fat compartments in the neck, giving the jawline a cleaner shape. While some plastic surgeons perform a deep plane facelift, Dr. White only includes select parts of that approach. He avoids high-risk areas where nerves are more exposed, so you get the benefits of a more defined neck and jawline without unnecessary risk.
Most facelift procedures take about 3 to 4 hours and are done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. White makes sure every incision is well-hidden—usually around the ears or along the natural creases of the face—so you don’t have to worry about visible facial scarring, especially if you have shorter hair.
Male Facelift Recovery
Recovery time after a male facelift varies depending on your health, skin type, and how much correction was needed. Most men take about 10 to 14 days before going back to work or regular social activities.
You’ll likely see some swelling, tightness, and bruising in the first week. That’s normal. You’ll get detailed instructions on how to care for your skin, minimize swelling, and support proper healing. Dr. White and his team will also walk you through how to protect the hair follicles and incisions for the cleanest healing possible.

Male Facelift Results and Aftercare
Most men start noticing early changes within 2–3 weeks. Swelling continues to go down over the next few months, with full male facelift results showing up around the 3–6 month mark.
The outcome is a firmer, more defined look that still allows you to move and express naturally. The best part is that results from a full facelift can last 10 years or more, especially if you take care of your skin.
To maintain results:
Consider occasional cosmetic procedures like fat grafting, skin resurfacing, or injectables to boost long-term outcomes and maintain a youthful appearance.
