World renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Man is board certified in plastic surgery, emphasizing aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. Dr. Man is an innovator and one of his specialties is the “Man Facelift Expander.”

Facelift procedures have benefited from numerous advancements including new surgical techniques, improved anesthesia and post operative healing. The Man Facelift Expander is one such advancement which helps enhance results for facelift patients naturally, without leaving a pulled or “wind-blown” look.
This procedure was developed by Dr. Man and based on previous studies of tissue expansion and stretching during facelift surgery. Dr. Man designed the Man Facelift Expander to duplicate the natural circumferential stretching of the skin.

What is the Man Facelift Expander?

It is a small balloon-like device that is contoured to fit the shape of the face. It is inserted temporarily under the skin for several minutes during facelift surgery in order to stretch the skin circumferentially, in all directions at once, instead of pulling the skin in only one direction. This is done to simulate the natural stretching of the skin.

How is the procedure performed?

During your facelift surgery, The Man Facelift Expander is placed under the skin flaps and slowly inflated for several minutes and then removed. The excess skin is excised and the skin flaps sutured into place. This procedure helps to reduce tension on the skin flaps during closure and minimizes hair loss around the temple and ears. Studies have found that circumferential stretching of the skin during facelift surgery allows the surgeon to remove more skin and wrinkles without leaving a pulled look, thus achieving a more natural looking appearance. Body Glue is another advancement that enhances results by helping patients heal faster and reduce swelling after surgery.
