Male Facelift & Neck Lift, La Jolla
A male facelift and neck lift address jowls, lower-face laxity, and loose neck skin by lifting deeper tissues as well as skin. At your La Jolla consultation, Tim Sayed MD examines your face, neck, hairline, and beard pattern, then discusses whether a facelift, a neck lift, or both fits your anatomy.
The La Jolla consultation office is in University City, at 4510 Executive Drive, Suite 210, San Diego, CA 92121. Consultations and follow-ups take place here. Surgery is performed only in accredited operating rooms separate from both consultation offices, not at the University City office.
Ask about male facelift cases similar to yours, how incisions are placed around your beard and hairline, and how hematoma risk is reduced.
Where it is used
The lower face, jawline, jowls, and neck, singly or together, depending on where the laxity is.
Anesthesia
General anesthesia, or local with sedation, as an outpatient procedure. Length depends on whether the face, neck, or both are treated.
Downtime
Most men take about two weeks before looking socially ready. Bruising and swelling settle over the following weeks.
Results
A sharper jawline and neck and a stronger, rested profile. Results last years; aging continues naturally from a younger-looking starting point.
Who it suits
Men bothered by jowls, a heavy or blurred jawline, or a loose neck, in good health. A consultation sets the plan.
Why a facelift
Dr. Sayed is certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and he has been recertified in both after ten years. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Which lift fits
Incision placement is planned around the sideburns, the hairline, and beard-bearing skin, because a lift can move hair-bearing skin behind the ear. Men also have a richer facial blood supply, and blood pressure control matters for reducing bleeding risk.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, usually as an outpatient procedure; its length depends on whether the face, neck, or both are treated. Plan for an adult to drive you home from the operating facility and to stay with you initially.
| Consideration | How they differ |
|---|---|
| Best for | Surgical suits jowls, a blurred jawline, and a loose neck; non-surgical suits mild skin laxity with no surgery. |
| What it does | Surgical: lifts the deeper layer and tightens skin and neck. Non-surgical: tightens skin and stimulates collagen. |
| Result | Surgical: a strong, lasting change in one procedure. Non-surgical: a subtle, gradual refinement over sessions. |
| Downtime | Surgical: about two weeks before looking socially ready. Non-surgical: little to none. |
| Scar | Surgical: fine scars hidden around the ear and hairline. Non-surgical: none. |
Many plans add a neck lift to a facelift, or energy tightening to refine. The exam and your goals decide.

What it treats
Bring a list of medications and supplements, your smoking or nicotine history, blood pressure history, and any prior facial procedures. Note whether your main concern is the jowls, the jawline, or the neck.
Ask where incisions would be placed relative to your sideburns, beard, and hairline; whether the plan includes the deeper SMAS layer and the platysma muscle; and how shaving will be affected during healing.
Matching the procedure to your face matters. Dr. Sayed assesses the face, jawline, and neck, then recommends the lift, or a combination, that fits.

The procedure
A facelift addresses jowls and laxity of the lower face by repositioning the deeper SMAS layer and removing excess skin. A neck lift addresses loose neck skin, platysma bands, and fullness under the chin. Many men have changes in both areas.
Neither procedure stops aging, and neither changes skin texture or fine lines. When volume loss is part of the concern, fat transfer may be discussed. Mild concerns may be better suited to non-surgical options or no treatment.
Related options include neck lift in La Jolla, facial fat transfer in La Jolla, and men's plastic surgery in La Jolla.
Risks include bleeding or hematoma (more common in men), infection, anesthesia complications, numbness, visible scars, hair loss near incisions, a change in sideburn or beard position, skin loss, nerve injury affecting facial movement, asymmetry, and the need for further surgery. Smoking and nicotine increase the risk of wound problems.
Seek urgent care for rapidly increasing facial or neck swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or chest pain.
Case studies
Ask to see before-and-after photographs relevant to your concerns. The same practice gallery is used for both offices; these are not location-specific results. Photographs do not guarantee your outcome. Practice photo gallery information for La Jolla patients
Results vary from patient to patient, and photographs are shared with consent. A consultation is the only way to know what is realistic for you.
Cost
The current published guide for a male facelift is about $12,000–$30,000 or more, depending on the extent of the lift and whether a neck lift is added. The same guide applies at both consultation offices; it is not a La Jolla-specific market price.
Request a written quote for your proposed plan. Ask which fees it includes, such as the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, and facility fees, and what could add to the cost. Insurance rarely covers cosmetic surgery; check with your insurer if a functional concern is involved.

Recovery
Many men need about two weeks before they feel socially comfortable; swelling and bruising continue to improve over the following weeks, and numbness can take longer to resolve. Drains and a compression dressing may be used early.
Keep your head elevated, control blood pressure as instructed, avoid strenuous activity until cleared, and ask when you may shave over the incisions.

A facelift addresses jowls and laxity of the lower face by repositioning the deeper SMAS layer and removing excess skin. A neck lift addresses loose neck skin, platysma bands, and fullness under the chin. Many men have changes in both areas.

Questions
A male facelift lifts deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin to address jowls and lower-face laxity while keeping a masculine jawline.
It depends on where the laxity is. Jowls point to the face, and loose skin or bands point to the neck. Many men benefit from both.
The current published guide is about $12,000–$30,000 or more, depending on the extent of the lift and whether a neck lift is added. The same guide applies at both offices; request a written quote for your plan.
The goal is a rested, masculine result without a pulled look. Results depend on anatomy, technique, and healing, and they vary.
Yes, they are commonly performed together. Combining changes surgery time, recovery, and cost.
A lift can shift hair-bearing skin. Incisions are planned around the sideburns and beard to reduce this, but some change is possible.
Yes. Incisions are placed around the ears and sometimes under the chin. Scars usually fade, but healing varies.
Many men need about two weeks before they feel socially comfortable, with swelling continuing to settle over several weeks.
Tightness, soreness, and swelling are common early and are usually managed with prescribed or recommended medication.
Non-surgical treatments may help mild concerns or skin quality but cannot remove significant loose skin or reposition deeper tissues.
Results can be long-lasting, but aging continues. Skin quality, sun exposure, and weight change affect durability.
Risks include hematoma, which is more common in men, infection, numbness, scarring, hair or beard changes, nerve injury, and the need for further surgery.
Ask about board certification, experience with male facelifts, photographs of similar cases, and how complications are managed.
Candidates are healthy men with jowls or neck laxity, controlled blood pressure, no nicotine use or the ability to stop as directed, and realistic goals.
