A facelift is a powerful procedure that can restore your youthfulness and dramatically reduce the harsh effects of age and gravity. Facelift surgery is one of the most popular procedures to reduce jowling and sagging skin of the face and neck. By expertly tightening your skin, facelift surgery can tighten the underlying facial structure and reduce the appearance of jowls, wrinkles, and fine lines. Many of our male clients—especially our younger male clients—may not need a full facelift. Usually the amount of excess skin and target areas determine if you need a mini or full facelift. For our patients with mild skin excess, Plastic Surgery Affiliates is proud to offer the mini facelift for men in Nashville.
The mini facelift focuses on lifting the lower face, particularly the jawline and neck. It is an ideal option for those with mild-moderate excess facial skin. This targeted procedure addresses the jowls while chiseling your jawline to make it look more defined. Our qualified plastic surgeon, Dr. Olivia MaDan, is an expert in facial surgery and prides herself in providing exceptional, top-tier care for our patients. Contact us today to learn more about this procedure and whether it may be right for you.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for a Mini Facelift in Nashville?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for a male mini facelift in Nashville. An initial consultation with our talented plastic surgeon, Dr. MaDan, is required to determine your eligibility for facial surgery. During your consultation, Dr. MaDan will discuss your medical history and goals to determine if you are a good candidate for the mini facelift procedure.
A patient considering mini facelift surgery should have good mental and physical health, no chronic illness, and a healthy BMI. The ideal candidate has a mild-moderate amount of excess skin. To ensure a smooth procedure with minimal complications, Dr. MaDan may advise you to stop certain lifestyle choices, such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Using recreational drugs
- Taking certain medications
These restrictions can help ensure your surgery and recovery process are as smooth as possible.
The Mini Facelift for Men Procedure
Dr. MaDan performs the male mini facelift surgery at a AAAASF certified surgery center in Nashville under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. This procedure involves a hidden incision that begins in front of the ear, extending upward behind the ear. Dr. MaDan then elevates the skin from the deeper facial structures. The deeper structures are then tightened and the overlying skin is lifted. Excess skin is removed and the wound is meticulously closed in layered fashion. The precise, specialized closure is performed to facilitate healing and minimize the appearance of a scar.
Rest, Downtime, and Recovery
Two to four weeks before your surgery, Dr. MaDan will provide you with a customized plan outlining the recommendations before and after surgery to optimize your recovery. She will also discuss your recovery timeline and post-procedure expectations. For most of our male patients in Nashville, the recovery time off from work may depend on your occupation and job requirements. Bruising and swelling after your mini facelift are normal and will improve over two to three weeks following surgery. Intense activities are limited for three weeks following your surgery. Our scar therapy protocol is started one week postoperatively. The appearance of the scar will fade over six to twelve months after surgery. Minimal, minor swelling may take six months to resolve.
