Facelift for Men in Baltimore, MD
Facial aging doesn’t discriminate. But the way we treat it should. For men, addressing signs of aging means maintaining strength in the jawline, achieving subtle results, and conveying authenticity. That’s why a facelift for men is never a one-size-fits-all procedure. It’s a custom strategy for restoring definition while preserving the masculine character of your face.
Dr. Michele Shermak specializes in facelift surgery for men in Baltimore, delivering individualized results in a discreet and trusted setting. As a board-certified plastic surgeon and national leader in aesthetic surgery, she brings both technical precision and a collaborative mindset to the consultation room—so your goals stay front and center.
A male facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues in the lower face and neck, improving skin laxity, jowls, and jawline definition while preserving masculine angles.
The procedure often includes adjustment of deeper tissues (such as the SMAS layer), not just the skin, to maintain strength and natural facial movement.
Fat is also reduced allowing men to look thinner and more vital. Men have thicker skin, stronger ligaments, and facial hair patterns that influence incision placement and technique. Dr. Shermak carefully accounts for these factors in every surgical plan, ensuring a result that looks refreshed and natural to you.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in Dr. Shermak’s fully accredited surgical facility in Baltimore. Incisions are carefully placed around the ears and within natural creases to remain discreet. The deeper tissues are lifted and secured, fat is reduced, loose skin is removed, and the neck is often tightened at the same time.
The procedure typically takes 3 to 4 hours, and patients go home the same day with a comprehensive recovery plan in place.
A facelift can enhance both your appearance and confidence without compromising your natural, masculine look. Benefits include:
A facelift addresses several common signs of aging, including:
You may be a good candidate for a facelift if you’re in good health and want to address visible signs of facial aging, especially in the lower face and neck, that haven’t responded to non-surgical treatments. Dr. Shermak regularly works with men in their 40s-70s and personalizes her approach based on each patient’s anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.
Facelifts are often combined with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or facial fat grafting for a more complete result. Dr. Shermak will help you design a procedure tailored to your goals.
Swelling and bruising are expected for the first week, but most men feel well enough to return to work or daily tasks within 10–14 days. A compression garment may be worn to reduce swelling and support the new contours. Light activity can resume quickly, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for several weeks.
Dr. Shermak’s team provides detailed aftercare instructions and regular follow-up visits to guide you through a comfortable recovery process.
A male facelift creates a natural, refreshed appearance by lifting sagging facial tissues, tightening loose skin, and restoring more defined contours to the jawline and neck.
One of the most noticeable improvements is the reduction of jowls and heaviness along the lower face, which can soften a man’s profile with age. By repositioning underlying structures and removing excess skin, the procedure restores a firmer, more chiseled appearance without compromising the distinctly masculine angles of the face.
For many men, the results go beyond aesthetics. A facelift can help align your outer appearance with how you feel internally—capable, energetic, and youthful. Clothes fit better around the neck and jaw, photographs become more flattering, and confidence in social and professional settings often increases. Importantly, the goal isn’t to look different. It’s to look like yourself, just years younger and more rested. The right surgical approach ensures results that are subtle, strong, and unmistakably yours.
