While foundational facelift principles are shared between genders, the male patient presents unique structural, vascular, and aesthetic demands that necessitate specific modifications to technique, planning, and execution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Key anatomical distinctions in the male face, including denser subcutaneous tissue, increased vascularity, prominent subplatysmal structures, and horizontally oriented submuscular aponeurotic system (SMAS)\u2013platysma continuity, require surgical planning that respects and preserves masculine facial definition. The submental region is often complicated by hypertrophic digastric musculature and submandibular gland visibility, necessitating targeted management to optimize the cervicomental angle.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>This article outlines a male-specific technique emphasizing extended deep plane dissection, ligamentous release, SMAS repositioning with minimal subcutaneous dissection, and submental access. Deep plane neck procedures, including conservative subplatysmal fat reduction, digastric contouring, partial submandibular gland reduction, and corset platysmaplasty, supplement the facial portion of the procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>When performed with anatomical precision and gender-specific adaptation, preservation-based techniques with extended deep plane facelift surgery yield consistent, natural, and structurally restorative outcomes in male
