While Men and Women may have some differences, men also deserve the best when it come to feeling and looking their best!
We all want to look as good as we feel. Healthy habits like eating well and exercising can defy many of the signs of aging, but over time our skin and soft tissue inevitably grow lax, producing sagging skin, the presence of jowls with an ill-defined jawline, and an overall tired appearance. While these are all-natural marks of aging, they can be erased through a procedure that delivers equally natural and lasting results.
Facelifts for Men
Advanced Facelift by Dr. Jon Mendelsohn
Dr. Jon Mendelsohn is a gifted Cincinnati facial plastic surgeon who has helped thousands of facelift patients achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. He uses the most advanced techniques in his Advanced Lift facelifting procedure to help patients erase the signs of aging — including deep folds and sagging skin, jowls, and neck. The results of his advanced face lift technique creates a natural and more refreshed appearance.
When performing a Male Facelift, the major consideration is to ensure that nothing is done that “de-masculinizes” or looks overdone. While women can hide their recovery with long hair or accessories, men by and large do not have that option.
The most important area for plastic surgery in a man’s face is his neck and jawline. Dr. Mendelsohn is experienced in helping his male patients understand what procedures are best for them. Liposuction under the chin (submittal liposuction) is a great way too thin the neck area giving it more definition.

Upper Eyelids
Men should look rested, attentive and energetic! Drooping eyelids make a man look tired and elderly. Dr. Mendelsohn’s goal is to lift the eyelid skin off the lashes, without leaving the eyes looking hollow or feminized.
Men’s brows are much lower than a women’s, so overly shortening the upper eyelid of a man or overly raising his brows can have a major effect on his appearance. Upper Eyelid procedures in men are excellent and we modify the procedure to meet their needs.
Lower Eyelids
In the lower eyelid, reduction of the bags and smoothing of the line between the eyelid and cheek is what is desired.

Skincare Specifically for Men
Understanding male skin.
Men want their skin to look and feel healthy. Just like women, they can have issues such as skin sensitivity, acne and aging.
Male skin has some features that differ from female skin and with regular shaving, it is often treated differently too.
Having a men’s tailored skincare routine will help keep your skin at its natural best.
What makes Men’s skin different?
The hormone “testosterone” determines the masculine characteristics of male skin and gives it a different structure to female skin. While every man’s skin is unique, in general, male skin – on both the face and the body – is thicker, oilier and ages differently.
Thickness
- Male skin is, on average, approximately 20% thicker than female skin. It contains more collagen and has a tighter, firmer appearance.
- The collagen content of male skin reduces at a constant rate. Female skin is affected later in life, especially after menopause. Female skin then thins more dramatically and the effects are more pronounced than in male skin.
- In general male skin is thicker, oiler and ages differently.
Oiliness
- Men have more active sebaceous glands, and therefore more pores, than women. Both their sebaceous glands and their pores are larger than those of women.
- Sebum production is double that of women, so male skin is oilier and shinier than female skin. As a result its pH is lower than that of female skin and is prone to impurities and acne.
- Adult males are less prone to dry skin than adult females.
Aging
- Signs of aging appear later in male skin, but changes occur more quickly once they start.
- Men are most affected by sagging skin combined with puffy eyes and dark circles that make them look tired.
- Men get wrinkles too, though they are often less of a concern than for women. Male wrinkles occur later than female wrinkles but, when they do appear, they are fully grooved.
Regular shaving makes male skin more stressed
- On average, men who shave subject their skin to 16,000 shaves in a lifetime.
- Skin becomes more sensitive and reacts faster.
- Daily shaving stresses the skin and can cause irritation. It removes the uppermost layer of skin cells, exposing immature skin that is particularly sensitive to external influences.
- Up to 40% of men have shaving-related skin problems. Younger and fair skinned men are particularly prone.
- A blunt razor and/or insufficient lubrication while shaving can lead to nicks and cuts, razor burn and razor bumps.
How to care for male skin
Because male skin is different than female skin, it’s important to find the best skincare routine and use recommended skincare treatments for optimal results.
Careful shaving is important, particularly for those with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as acne.
- Protect and lubricate skin with shaving products. These should help the razor to glide smoothly over the skin to avoid nicks and cuts. They should also be mild and soothing for sensitive skin: harsh products can remove skin’s natural lipids which are already under pressure as the the uppermost layer of skin cells are being removed. We also recommend shaving products that contain antibacterial properties to protect skin from shaving irritations.
- Use a clean, sharp razor for the closest shave and to avoid razor burn or razor bumps.
- Shave in the direction that hair grows, not against it.
Moisturizers and anti aging products for men should be light in texture. Rich and greasy products may not be well tolerated when shaving.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels superficially injure the skin that provoke a wound-healing response that expels dark pigment. Peels treat wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging. For optimal results, peels should be done regularly once a month for 3-5 treatments.
We offer a wide variety of light peel procedures, most of which cause very little skin irritation or peeling. A skin health specialist who is closely monitoring your unique combination of products will be in the best position to recommend a peel depending on where you are in achieving your goals.
Light chemical peels can be a routine part of maintaining a normal, healthy skin appearance. Many patients enjoy having a light peel as a quick perk-up several days before a major event such as a wedding or class reunion.
Peels aren’t necessarily limited to the face. We have many patients who enjoy the benefits of a peeling treatment applied to the neck, hands or forearms. A light peel in these areas fosters smooth, supple skin.

Subnasal Lip Lift LIVE surgery Video
The Subnasal Lip lift is a wonderful adjunctive or stand-alone procedure to help restore natural harmony and balance to the face. Watch the video is you like and read below for additional common questions about this minor surgery.
The subnasal lip lift is one of the more popular procedures performed by Dr. Mendelsohn specializes in facial cosmetic surgery. Learn more about the subnasal lip lift, including what’s involved, who it’s suited for, and what you can expect afterwards.
ABOUT THE SUBNASAL LIP LIFT
In recent years, volume loss and imbalances in the lip and mouth area have been popular topics in the general media and in medical publications. Lip augmentation using injectable fillers has become an increasingly popular treatment option for patients and has been subject to a great deal of attention.
The subnasal lip lift, often provides fantastic results to patients. The surgery involves creating balance between the top of the lips and the area where the lips and chin meet. The goal of a subnasal lip lift isn’t to simply create a fuller lip or to enhance the volume of the lip. However, it creates harmony and balance in the lips which is essential to creating an appealing appearance. To do this, they divide the distance from the bottom of the nose to the chin into thirds.
The distance from the base of the nose to the line where the lips touch should be one third of the distance from the nose to the chin. In addition the portion of the lip above the red lip should be concave, there should be a small ridge or pout where the red portion begins and the red portion should be convex. The upper lip should protrude slightly more than the lower lip, but the lower lip should have more red show, more fullness.
The lip can be flat or long in some people either due to aging or hereditary. Additionally, some patients have a longer upper portion of the lip, either as a result of aging or genes. The subnasal lip lift will shorten the portion of the lip and add volume to the rest of the lip. As a result, the lips look fuller and more youthful. More of the patient’s teeth are revealed when he or she smiles.
CANDIDATES FOR A SUBNASAL LIP LIFT
The ideal candidates for a subnasal lip lift are people with a very long upper lip. The upper lip hoods the top row of teeth so that there isn’t much tooth shown when a person smiles. Other good candidates for the surgery are those with diminished volume in the lip.
When performed on its own, a subnasal lip lift takes less than 30 minutes and is performed in an office setting, using local anesthesia. It’s possible to combine the surgery with other facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift. Recovery after a subnasal lip lift can take up to seven days. Patients often have some mild swelling in the area, but this can be easily managed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SUBNASAL LIP LIFT
What is a Subnasal Lip Lift?
A subnasal lip lift elevates the top portion of the lip and reduces the distance between the upper lip and bottom of the nose. The result is a smile that is fuller and more youthful.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Subnasal Lip Lift?
If you are in good overall health and are looking to reduce the size of your upper lip, or to increase the volume of the red portion of the lip, you are likely a good candidate for a subnasal lip lift.
Where is the Surgery Performed?
A subnasal lip lift is most commonly performed in an office setting. The surgery can also be performed with other procedures, in which case it is typically performed in a surgical setting.
What Type of Anesthesia is Used?
When a subnasal lip lift is performed on its own, only local anesthesia is used.
How is a Subnasal Lip Lift Performed?
To begin the surgery, Dr. Mendelsohn will make a very small incision at the junction between the nose and lip. The surgeons usually make the incision in the natural crease of the area, so that it is well concealed. After making the incision, a small, curved strip of skin is trimmed away, to lift the lip area. The resulting wound is stitched up with sutures. Most of the sutures will be removed within 5 to 7 days. Some of the sutures are dissolvable and will fade on their own.
How Long Will a Subnasal Lip Lift Take?
If a subnasal lip lift is performed on its own, it can take less than 30 minutes.
Can I Combine the Surgery with Other Procedures?
Yes, you can combine a subnasal lip lift with a variety of other facial surgeries and cosmetic treatments. Some patients undergo a lip lift at the same time as a facelift, for example. Combining a facelift and lip lift helps provide a patient with a more thorough facial rejuvenation. It’s also common to combine a lip lift with dermabrasion or another skin resurfacing treatment. Some people decide to combine a lip lift with other lip augmentation procedures. In addition for some patients with a very thin red lip, fillers or connective tissue grafts placed in the lip will create the most flattering result. The options that are available to you will depend on your specific goals and the amount of time you have for recovery.
Will There Be Scarring After the Procedure?
Although there will likely be a scar after a subnasal lip lift, the size of the incision made and the location of the incision means that the scar is usually very difficult to see. It is often a very fine line that is hidden by the shadow of the nose.
When Can I Go Back to Work?
Usually, patients take about a week off after a subnasal lip lift. Sutures are usually left in place for five to seven days after the surgery, plus many people have bruising and prefer to avoid being seen by friends and colleagues. After a week, it is usually fairly easy to cover up any remaining bruises with makeup.
Will I Need to Avoid Certain Activities After a Subnasal Lip Lift?
You can participate in most physical activity almost immediately.
Since you’ll want to avoid putting pressure on the lip and nasal area, it’s recommended that you avoid activities such as diving or snorkeling for at least two weeks after your surgery. If you have any questions about specific activities, please ask your surgeon.
Are There Risks?
All surgeries have risks, but having the procedure performed by board-certified, highly trained and qualified surgeon helps dramatically reduce those risks. Potential risks include infection and unwanted scarring, but both are very rare.
