What to Expect
Before Surgery:
Your consultation with Dr. Tim includes a detailed assessment of your facial structure, skin quality, and specific concerns. Dr. Tim will develop a tailored surgical or non-surgical plan that aligns with your goals. Pre-operative instructions, such as fasting and discontinuing certain medications, will be provided.
During Surgery:
- Surgical Procedures: Incisions are carefully placed to minimise visible scarring. Depending on the procedure, excess skin and fat may be removed, underlying muscles tightened, or structural changes made to enhance symmetry and definition.
- Non-Surgical Procedures: Botox, fillers, and skin treatments are performed in the office with minimal downtime.
After Surgery:
Following surgery, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area before being discharged home or staying overnight for more extensive procedures.
Face procedures for men are surgical or non-surgical treatments designed to enhance masculine facial features, address signs of ageing, or correct cosmetic concerns while maintaining a natural appearance.
Good candidates are men in good overall health who want to address specific concerns, such as a sagging jawline, wrinkles, or a prominent nose.
Recovery varies by procedure. Non-surgical treatments require little to no downtime, while surgical procedures may take 1–2 weeks for initial recovery and 3–6 months for final results.
Scars are minimal and strategically placed to blend with natural creases or hairlines. They typically fade significantly over time with proper care.
Results are long-lasting or permanent, depending on the procedure. Non-surgical treatments like antiwrinkle injections or fillers may require maintenance sessions.
Yes, many men combine procedures, such as a facelift with eyelid surgery or anti-wrinkle injections with fillers, for comprehensive results.
Surgical procedures are performed under anaesthesia, ensuring no pain during surgery. Non-surgical treatments involve minimal discomfort. Post-operative pain is typically mild and manageable with prescribed medications.
Non-surgical treatments provide immediate or near-immediate results, while surgical outcomes improve gradually as swelling subsides, with final results visible within 3–6 months.
Risks
Face procedures for men are safe and effective when performed by an experienced surgeon. However, as with any procedure, potential risks include:
- Infection or delayed wound healing.
- Scarring (minimal and strategically placed).
- Changes in skin sensation (temporary or permanent).
- Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with results.
- Rare complications, such as blood clots or anaesthesia-related risks.
Recovery Tips
- Follow Post-Operative Instructions: Adhere to Dr. Tim’s specific recovery guidelines for optimal results.
- Manage Swelling: Use cold compresses and elevate your head while resting to minimise swelling and bruising.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: For 4–6 weeks after surgical procedures, avoid heavy lifting, exercise, and bending.
- Scar Management: Use recommended treatments to minimise the appearance of scars.
- Protect Your Skin: Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect healing skin.
- Be Patient: Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and final results may take several months to fully emerge.
