Facelift for men
A facelift is the gold standard of surgical rejuvenation of the lower face and neck. The procedure involves tightening and repositioning the deep tissues (the SMAS layer) and removing excess sagging skin - so that the effect is lasting and natural, without a “pulled” expression.

Facelift - what does the procedure involve?
A facelift is an advanced surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the lower face and neck by tightening and repositioning the deep tissues (the SMAS layer) and removing excess sagging skin. At Luna Clinic we focus on the classic SMAS lift - the gold-standard technique in plastic surgery, allowing a natural, harmonious rejuvenation without an artificial “mask” look. The procedure improves the jawline, smooths folds and eliminates jowls, restoring a fresh, younger appearance.
At Luna Clinic we perform the facelift with the SMAS technique - we work on the musculo-aponeurotic layer, not just the skin. It is the repositioning of the SMAS that is responsible for improving the oval, the jawline and the cervicomental angle, and for the durability of the effect measured in years, not months.
Indications for the procedure
Whether the procedure is advisable for you is ultimately decided by the doctor during the consultation.
- Loss of the facial oval, sagging cheeks (jowls)
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Sagging skin of the neck and chin (“turkey neck”)
- Age-related lengthening of the lower face
- A desire for clear rejuvenation without an unnatural pulled effect
- Improvement of the jawline and neck line
Contraindications
How to prepare for the procedure?
The procedure is always preceded by a qualification consultation with a plastic surgeon - we discuss expectations, examine the area to be operated on and establish an individual treatment plan. As standard, we order a full set of tests (blood count, coagulation, electrolytes, ECG for general anaesthesia) and, if necessary, additional specialist consultations.
- Consultation with a plastic surgeon for qualification, discussing expectations and the treatment plan
- Laboratory tests
- Stopping anticoagulant medications at least 14 days before the operation (after consulting a doctor)
- Avoiding alcohol and cigarette smoking for at least 14 days before the procedure - for better healing
- Thorough facial-skin hygiene on the day of the procedure (no make-up, creams or lotions)
The facelift procedure step by step
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
The first 2-3 weeks are the main healing period - swelling and bruising subside gradually, and the patient usually returns to social activity after 2-3 weeks.
- Swelling and bruising are natural and diminish within 2-4 weeks
- Sleeping with the head elevated is recommended for the first few days
- Dressings and sutures cared for according to the doctor’s recommendations
- Sutures are usually removed after 7-14 days
- Avoiding intense physical exertion and bending over for a minimum of 4-6 weeks
- No sunbathing or use of a solarium for a minimum of 6 months - SPF 50 protection is necessary
- After full healing, scar massages and products supporting their maturation may be introduced - according to the doctor’s recommendation
- Check-ups: about 1 month after the procedure, then after 3, 6 and 12 months
Treatment effects
The effect of the facelift is clear rejuvenation - improvement of the facial oval, the jawline and neck, and smoothing of folds - while fully preserving natural facial expression. The face looks rested and 8-12 years younger, and the effect lasts for many years because the deep structures were corrected, not just the skin.
A facelift significantly improves the jawline and neck contour, reduces skin sagging and deepened folds, giving a younger, fresh yet natural appearance. The effect lasts an average of 8-12 years. Skin ageing will continue, but the face looks much younger than without the procedure. An individual approach allows the scope and technique to be adjusted to achieve the most harmonious result possible.

PoPossible complications and risks
Like any surgical procedure, this one also carries a certain risk - at Luna Clinic we minimise it through careful qualification, operating in operating-block conditions and the team’s experience. Possible complications include:
- Haematoma or bleeding requiring drainage
- Infection requiring antibiotic therapy
- Temporary or rarely permanent sensory disturbances in the face or auricle
- Hypertrophic or discoloured scars - minimised thanks to precise suturing technique
- Asymmetry requiring correction
- Longer-lasting swelling or bruising
- An unsatisfactory aesthetic result requiring possible re-operation
Frequently asked questions
Czy zabieg boli?
No - it is performed under general anaesthesia. After the procedure the pain is controlled with medication.
Will the scars be visible?
The incisions are made in natural creases in front of and behind the ear - over time they become very discreet.
How long does the facelift operation take?
Depending on the scope, 2.5-4 hours; when combined with a neck lift or eyelid surgery, correspondingly longer. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia.
How long does recovery take?
The main healing takes 2-3 weeks. We assess the full effect after a few months.
When can I return to work?
To office work usually after 2-3 weeks, depending on the course of healing.
When will I see the final result of the lift?
The largest swelling subsides within 2-3 weeks, the face settles gradually, and we assess the final effect after 3-6 months, once the scars have faded.
Is the effect permanent?
The effect lasts about 8-12 years - the skin continues to age but looks much younger than without the procedure.
Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes - it is often combined with a neck lift or eyelid surgery.
Is the procedure suitable for men?
Yes - we also perform the lift on men, preserving male anatomy and a natural effect.
How does a SMAS facelift differ from a skin-only lift?
A skin lift gives a short-lived effect and the risk of a “pulled” look. The SMAS technique moves the deep tissues responsible for facial sagging - the effect is natural and lasting.
At what age is it best to have a facelift?
Most often between the ages of 45 and 65 - when tissue sagging is pronounced. However, the condition of the tissues decides, not the birth date; we will assess it during the consultation.
How to prepare for a facelift?
A full set of tests and anaesthesiological qualification, stopping smoking for at least 4 weeks and blood-thinning medications after agreement with the doctor. You will receive a detailed list of recommendations at the consultation.

What does the facelift for men involve?
Facelift is a procedure in the field of plastic surgery. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, the facelift for men is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
the facelift for men - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether the facelift for men is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that the facelift for men proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - the facelift for men before and after
The effects that the facelift for men provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Facelift is performed by Dr Aleksandra Łuniewska - a plastic surgery specialist, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of plastic surgery, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?
Luna Clinic is an intimate, boutique clinic where not only the result matters, but also comfort, discretion and a sense of safety. We carry out the facelift for men with attention to every detail - from the first conversation, through the procedure itself, to post-procedure care.

It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before the facelift for men we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
