A well-defined jawline. Alert, refreshed eyes. A firm, youthful neck. These traits are no longer reserved for the young or exclusively for women. Across Denver and the greater Colorado region, a growing number of men over 50 are opting for cosmetic procedures to maintain their edge—personally, professionally, and socially. With options like the male facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and men’s neck lift, mature men are embracing subtle, strategic enhancements that reflect how they feel inside: sharp, energetic, and confident.
The Modern Man’s Motivation: Confidence, Not Vanity
Today’s man views cosmetic surgery as a smart investment, not a secret indulgence. From boardrooms to athletic clubs, men are realizing that appearance and presence go hand-in-hand. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), cosmetic surgery for men over 50 has increased by 25% over the past decade, with facelifts, eyelid surgeries, and neck lifts topping the list.
Men in Denver, in particular, are influenced by a blend of professional competitiveness and the state’s wellness-driven lifestyle. A refined appearance can:
- Enhance self-esteem and body image
- Improve first impressions in leadership and social roles
- Support career longevity in client-facing industries
- Reflect the energy and health that men feel internally
Dr. Broadway of Broadway Plastic Surgery notes, “Men are no longer waiting until a milestone event to act. They’re planning proactively, just like they do with their health or finances. It’s about staying relevant and feeling strong at every stage.”
This mindset aligns with the increasing demand for natural-looking, minimal downtime procedures that improve without transforming.
Male Facelift: Subtle Strength and Structure
A facelift for men is distinctly different from the traditional female approach. Male facelifts focus on lifting and tightening deeper facial tissues to restore structure, particularly around the jawline, cheeks, and lower face, while preserving masculine features.
Key objectives include:
- Restoring jaw definition to reduce jowls
- Lifting sagging midface tissues without pulling the skin unnaturally
- Maintaining rugged features like thicker skin and facial angles
Denver’s elevation and dry climate can contribute to earlier skin laxity. Men who have spent decades skiing, cycling, or hiking at altitude may show signs of volume loss and skin fatigue earlier than their coastal counterparts.
Recovery timelines are also increasingly manageable for busy professionals. A male facelift performed at Broadway Plastic Surgery typically allows for:
- Light activity within 7–10 days
- Return to work in 2–3 weeks
- Swelling subsides significantly by 4–6 weeks
With advanced anesthesia and modern techniques like deep plane lifting, results are long-lasting and discreet—patients simply appear rested, capable, and revitalized.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): A Clearer, More Alert Look
One of the earliest signs of aging in men is puffiness or hooding around the eyes. Often mistaken for fatigue or disinterest, heavy upper lids and under-eye bags can misrepresent one’s vitality. That’s why blepharoplasty for men has become a top procedure for patients in their 50s and beyond.
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, repositions fat, and tightens muscles around the eyes. Unlike more aggressive approaches of the past, modern techniques preserve a masculine shape and avoid hollowing or feminization.
Benefits of eyelid surgery for men include:
- Sharper, more engaged expression
- Reduced eye fatigue and improved vision in some cases
- Natural contours that preserve character
Downtime is typically minimal—bruising fades in 7–10 days, and patients often return to work in under two weeks. For men in Denver’s high-glare, high-UV environment, blepharoplasty also helps reduce irritation caused by redundant eyelid skin.
At Broadway Plastic Surgery, eyelid surgery is often performed alongside other procedures like facelifts or laser resurfacing for comprehensive but subtle improvement. “Men want results, not risk,” says their lead surgeon. “We prioritize safe, efficient enhancements that work with their lifestyle.”
Neck Lift for Men: Reshaping the Profile
A men’s neck lift is one of the most requested procedures among patients aged 50–65. As collagen declines, the neck can develop loose skin, vertical banding, and fat accumulation—even in men who are otherwise lean and active.
The goal of a neck lift is to:
- Remove excess skin
- Tighten underlying platysmal bands
- Sculpt the jaw-to-neck angle for sharper definition
For many Denver men, this procedure restores the kind of neck contour that once came naturally through exercise. It’s especially popular among those who have maintained muscle tone but feel their profile no longer reflects their physical efforts.
Neck lifts are commonly performed under general or twilight anesthesia and have a recovery time similar to facelifts. Results can last 10–15 years with proper skincare and weight maintenance.
Men often report improved comfort when wearing dress shirts and ties, along with increased satisfaction in photos and professional interactions. Combined with other procedures, such as chin liposuction or jawline fillers, neck lifts can dramatically rejuvenate without drawing attention to “having work done.”
