Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at reversing the signs of facial aging. While facelift surgery is more commonly performed in women, an increasing number of men are seeking this procedure to maintain a youthful appearance. The long recovery period conflicts the overall primary outcome anticipated by men undergoing rhytidectomy, i.e., appear younger, youthful, and ready to reaffirm their value in the working environment. Anterior direct neck lift, blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty), and lipofilling are three techniques that have been shown to be effective in improving facial rejuvenation outcomes in elderly male patients. However, there is little to no evidence of the safety and efficacy of these techniques when used in combination. By combining these techniques, we hypothesized that we could achieve outcomes comparable to traditional facelift surgery, but with a lower risk of complications and a shorter recovery time. We conducted a retrospective case series study of 18 male patients who underwent facial rejuvenation surgery using the combination of anterior direct neck lift, blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty), and lipofilling at our institution between 2018 and 2021. All 18 patients completed the study, with an average follow-up of 12 months. No major complications were observed, and all patients reported a high level of satisfaction with their outcomes.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

面部提升术，又称除皱术，是一种常见的美容手术，旨在逆转面部衰老的迹象。虽然面部提升术在女性中更为常见，但越来越多的男性也在寻求这种手术，以保持年轻的容貌。较长的恢复期与男性接受除皱术的整体主要预期结果相冲突，即看起来更年轻、更有活力，并准备在工作环境中重新确立自己的价值。颈前直接提升术、上睑和下睑成形术（双眼皮手术）和脂肪填充是三种已被证明可有效改善老年男性患者面部年轻化效果的技术。然而，这些技术联合使用的安全性和有效性几乎没有证据。通过联合使用这些技术，我们假设可以达到与传统面部提升术相当的效果，但并发症风险较低，恢复期较短。我们对 2018 年至 2021 年间在我们机构接受颈前直接提升术、上睑和下睑成形术（双眼皮手术）和脂肪填充联合面部年轻化手术的 18 名男性患者进行了回顾性病例系列研究。所有 18 名患者均完成了研究，平均随访 12 个月。未观察到重大并发症，所有患者均对治疗结果表示高度满意。证据等级 IV 本杂志要求作者为每篇文章分配一个证据等级。有关这些循证医学评级的完整描述，请参考目录或在线作者指南 www.springer.com/00266 。
