Facelifts are often performed in conjunction with neck lifts for more complete rejuvenation, but can be easily combined with other options like eyelid surgery or chin augmentation. Dr. Timothy Janiga can carefully create the right facelift procedure to ensure your results are natural and maintain the masculine look you’re hoping for.
Dr. Janiga is an experienced plastic surgeon who uses advanced surgical techniques for facelift procedures at our Reno office. He performs over 100 facelifts per year and specializes in tailoring the different surgical techniques for facelifts to his unique patients. He offers different types of facelift techniques, always keeping in mind that his male patients have specific anatomy that should not be overdone and unique and variable hairlines that must be preserved.
Full facelifts are more complex and include repositioning and tightening of the deeper structures of the mid-face and lower face, and tightening of the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) along with the overlying skin. The traditional or full facelift addresses moderate to severe amounts of loose skin and deep wrinkles caused by the aging process, sun exposure, and other factors like genetics. The underlying tissues are lifted and repositioned to combat advanced signs of aging. Excess fat can also be removed to enhance the facial contours and eliminate the appearance of a double chin. With a full facelift, Dr. Janiga uses general anesthesia in his fully accredited surgery center.
The deep plane facelift is performed at Dr. Janiga’s JCAHO-accredited surgery center under general anesthesia. The deep plane facelift releases the retaining ligaments that pull the face down, allowing him to reposition the deep tissue and muscle as a single unit. It addresses prominent nasolabial folds and loose skin at the jawline, which are signs of facial aging. This facelift technique is ideal for patients with advanced aging, significant jowls, midface sagging, and deep facial folds.
Another option is the mini facelift, or the in-office facelift, which uses local anesthesia with incisions that maintain the hairline and hair patterns in men. Patients with early signs of facial aging and mild to moderate skin laxity (loose skin) can benefit from this less invasive procedure. A mini facelift can be done right here in our Reno office.
The liquid facelift is one of our most popular minimally invasive treatments for patients bothered by signs of aging. Using a combination of fat grafting, collagen stimulators, dermal fillers, Botox, and other injectables, we can restore volume to the face and smooth fine lines, along with deeper wrinkles. However, significant amounts of sagging skin cannot be addressed with this non-surgical option.
Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience and countless patient success stories.

A consultation with Dr. Janiga is the first step to receiving a facelift. He will review the patient’s medical history, examine their facial anatomy, and discuss their desired results to determine the best facelift option for them. Ideal candidates are in overall good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for their procedure. They should be committed to following all of Dr. Janiga’s instructions to safely prepare for surgery and a smooth recovery.
Facelifts for men are similar to those performed on women, but with a few important exceptions. For men, the incision is made in accordance with the hairline and beard shape to maintain hair patterns and best conceal incisions. For men, a facelift elevates the skin and tightens the underlying tissues. During a facelift procedure, Dr. Janiga removes excess skin from the face and neck, which is then elevated, tightened, and repositioned into a more youthful, masculine position. Excess fat can also be removed from the mid-face or jawline to reduce the appearance of a double chin. The goal is to keep it understated and masculine while still preserving your natural look.

Patients often choose to stay home from work for one to two weeks to recover from surgery. During the initial healing process, moderate swelling and bruising are common. Pain medication will be prescribed, and Dr. Janiga will provide detailed instructions, which typically include avoidance of strenuous exercise for six weeks and sleeping with your head elevated for the first few nights. You will be seen in the office the day after surgery to remove gauze and dressings. Stitches are taken out approximately five to seven days post-procedure. Most patients will see the full results of their facelift within three months.
As a result of either the full or mini facelift, men experience a more defined face, neck, and jawline, along with a more youthful, refreshed appearance. You can also expect improvement in skin laxity, facial volume, and deep wrinkles, creating an overall rejuvenated appearance with natural-looking results that enhance the masculine facial features. With a healthy lifestyle, facelift results can last a decade or more.
