Why Facial Plastic Surgery for Men is Becoming Popular
In recent years, facial plastic surgery for men has seen a significant rise in popularity in Salt Lake City and across the country. More men are seeking cosmetic procedures to boost their confidence, look younger, and remain competitive in their careers. Enhancing facial features can provide a renewed sense of self-assurance in a world where first impressions matter more than ever.
Many men find that age-related changes such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and undereye bags can make them look older or more tired than they feel. Others may seek to correct structural issues like a crooked nose or a weak chin. Regardless of the motivation, the trend is clear—more men are embracing cosmetic surgery as a tool to improve their appearance in a subtle yet effective way.
At Watterson Plastic Surgery, we recognize that men's aesthetic needs differ from women's. Our procedures are tailored to maintain strong, masculine features while delivering refined, natural-looking results.
Popular Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures for Men
Men have several facial plastic surgery options to enhance their appearance, with each procedure customized to suit individual needs. The most popular options include:
Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
As men age, they often notice sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and the formation of jowls around the face and neck. A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, can help lift and tighten the skin, smooth out wrinkles, and restore a more youthful appearance. The procedure involves removing loose skin, tightening underlying muscles and tissue, and eliminating excess fat.
A facelift with Dr. Paul Watterson can effectively turn back the clock, taking 10 to 15 years off your face. This makes it an excellent option for men who want to reduce the signs of aging while maintaining a natural, masculine look. At Watterson Plastic Surgery, our goal is to enhance your appearance in a way that looks natural and refined, leaving you looking refreshed and confident without any signs of an "overdone" appearance.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
The skin on our eyelids and around the eyes is some of the thinnest on the body, making it more prone to aging. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is performed on one or both eyelids to address these concerns. The goal of this surgery with Dr. Watterson is to reverse the aging prevalent in the eyelids and surrounding skin.
The lower eyelid ligament is often tightened to enhance and protect the eye. Dr Watterson uses a special technique called "transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty" along with a skin pinch for removal of extra skin. This makes for a very safe and remarkable result.
Forehead Lift
Much of our facial expression occurs in the brow/forehead region of the face, allowing us to show a broad range of emotions. Our brow position can convey sadness, anger, alertness, and even contentment.
Bring a more youthful, refreshed look to the area above your eyes with a forehead lift (or "brow lift"). Drooping eyebrows, hooding over eyes, and furrowed foreheads can be smoothed out by removing excess tissue, altering muscles, and tightening the forehead skin. The result is a relaxed, naturally youthful appearance.
Neck Lift
Sagging skin underneath the chin can be effectively addressed through a neck lift procedure. Targeting excess skin can diminish creases and wrinkles associated with aging while simultaneously lifting and sculpting the area, resulting in a more contoured and youthful appearance.
Chin Augmentation
A well-defined chin is a key component of a strong, masculine face. Men who feel their chin is too small or recessed may benefit from chin augmentation, which enhances the contour of the lower face. Chin augmentation can significantly improve the balance and proportion of your facial features.

Male Facial Plastic Surgery FAQs
How is male facial plastic surgery different from procedures for women?
Male facial plastic surgery is specifically tailored to preserve and enhance strong, masculine features. While women often seek softer contours and lifted features, men typically desire sharper jawlines, well-defined cheekbones, and minimal changes that maintain a natural, rugged appearance. Dr. Watterson’s surgical approach considers differences in facial structure, skin thickness, and hair growth patterns. For example, facelifts for men must accommodate thicker skin and beard follicles, while brow and eyelid lifts are adapted to maintain a masculine shape and appearance.
What are the benefits of facial plastic surgery for men?
- A more youthful, refreshed look
- Enhanced facial symmetry and definition
- Increased self-confidence in personal and professional settings
- A more competitive edge in careers where appearance matters
- Long-lasting improvements that align with individual aesthetic goals
Can facial plastic surgery make me look younger?
Yes, facial plastic surgery can significantly reduce visible signs of aging. Procedures such as facelifts, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and brow lifts address sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and volume loss to create a more youthful yet natural appearance. Non-surgical options like injectables can also complement surgery by smoothing fine lines and restoring facial volume.
Can male facial plastic surgery improve my facial symmetry or profile?
Absolutely. Procedures like chin augmentation and jawline contouring can enhance balance and proportion, leading to a more harmonious facial profile. Whether correcting asymmetrical eyelids, refining a weak chin, or sculpting a stronger jawline, these procedures can provide significant improvements in facial symmetry.
What should I do to maintain the results of male facial plastic surgery?
Maintaining long-term results requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare. You should:
- Follow all post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Watterson
- Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure to prevent premature aging
- Maintain a stable weight to avoid skin laxity
- Avoid smoking, which can negatively affect skin quality and healing
- Consider periodic non-surgical treatments like injectable treatments to maintain a youthful look
Are there specific skincare routines recommended for men after surgery?
Yes, post-surgical skincare is crucial for optimal healing and long-term results. A recommended regimen includes:
- Gentle cleansing to keep the skin free of bacteria and irritation
- Moisturizing to aid in skin hydration and repair
- Sun protection using a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to prevent scarring and pigmentation changes
- Medical-grade skincare products, as recommended by the team at Watterson Plastic Surgery, to enhance healing and maintain skin health
Can I combine multiple male facial plastic surgery procedures at once?
Yes, many men choose to combine procedures for more comprehensive results with a single recovery period. Common combinations include:
- Facelift with eyelid surgery for full facial rejuvenation on both the upper and lower portions of the face.
- Neck lift with jawline contouring for a stronger, more defined lower face.
A consultation with Dr. Watterson will determine the best approach based on your goals and anatomy.
