Time may carve lines into your face, but it doesn't have to define you. At The One Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha performs facelifts specifically designed for men, restoring a sharper, more vigorous appearance while keeping every result unmistakably masculine.
Male facelift surgery is truly different from female facelift, and not every surgeon who is skilled in one is equally skilled in the other. The anatomical differences are real, the incision planning is more complex, and the aesthetic target is different. A result that would look excellent on a woman can look off on a man if the surgeon has not approached the procedure with male anatomy specifically in mind.
Dr. Agha brings both the technical foundation and the aesthetic sensibility that male facelift surgery demands. His training at the University of Cambridge and his seven-year plastic surgery residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center gave him a deep and precise understanding of facial anatomy across all patient types. His direct mentorship under Dr. Bryan Mendelson, one of the world's leading authorities on facial anatomy and facelift surgery, refined that understanding further.
What distinguishes Dr. Agha's approach to male facelift surgery is his commitment to results that are masculine in character. He does not apply a single facelift philosophy to every patient. He approaches each man's face individually, with an understanding of what sharpness, definition, and structural restoration look like specifically on a male face. The result is a patient who looks significantly better without anyone being able to say why.

A facelift for men, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses the visible signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. Through carefully placed incisions, Dr. Agha lifts the underlying facial tissues, tightens the deeper structural layers, and removes excess skin to produce a smoother, more defined jawline, reduced jowling, and a noticeably more youthful facial contour.
What is the difference between female and male facelift surgeries?
A male facelift is not simply a female facelift performed on a man. The anatomical differences are significant and require a meaningfully different surgical approach. Men typically have denser, heavier skin, a more prominent and angular jawline, greater facial vascularity, and the added consideration of beard-bearing skin. Incisions must be placed with precision to avoid distorting the hairline, sideburns, or beard distribution. Dr.Agha's approach to male facelift surgery respects and preserves these masculine characteristics at every step, ensuring results that look natural to the male face specifically, not just to faces in general.
More men than ever are choosing facelift surgery, and the reasons are straightforward. In competitive professional environments and an increasingly image-conscious world, looking tired or older than you feel can have real consequences. A well-executed male facelift does not make you look like a different person. It makes you look like the best, most energized version of yourself. Results are long-lasting, the procedure is highly customizable, and when performed by a surgeon experienced in male anatomy, no one will be able to tell you had anything done.
Specific benefits include:
Tailored Procedure: The surgical approach is selected based on your specific anatomy, degree of aging, skin quality, and goals. For a full overview of facelift techniques, see our main Facelift page.
As with any surgical procedure, a male facelift carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness or changes in skin sensation. Men face one additional consideration specific to their anatomy: the risk of displacement of beard-bearing skin if incisions are not placed correctly. Dr. Agha's experience with male facelift surgery means these risks are carefully anticipated and managed. All risks are discussed in full during your consultation.
Recovery from a male facelift typically takes two to four weeks. Bruising and swelling are most noticeable in the first week and resolve progressively. Most men return to work and feel comfortable in public settings within two to three weeks. Detailed post-operative instructions are provided to support a smooth and efficient recovery.
While you'll begin to see visible improvement within weeks of your facelift, the full results will continue to refine over two to three months as swelling subsides. Plan for one to two weeks of limited activity following surgery. Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that could increase blood pressure. Gradually resume your normal activities as cleared by your surgeon. Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to support optimal healing. Avoid strenuous activity, smoking, and excessive sun exposure for several weeks after surgery.
Your facelift consultation at The One Plastic Surgery Center is a private, no-pressure conversation. Dr. Agha takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, evaluates your facial anatomy honestly, and walks you through exactly what the procedure can realistically accomplish for your specific face. He will explain the technique best suited to your anatomy, what to expect during recovery, and what the results will look like over time. You leave the consultation with a clear picture of the plan and complete confidence in the decision. Schedule your consultation today to take the first step toward looking as sharp and confident as you feel.
