Is there a male face lift that doesn't displace the beard towards the ear? For example, one with a pure vertical vector of pull, especially if the neck line is not a concern. The beard line is of great concern to most men, especially nowadays when wearing beard is so ubiquitous and accepted in all professions. Before and afters never show what happens to the beard, and when they do I find the results unacceptable.

This is completely up to your surgeon, but in my practice about 95% of our facelifts are performed under oral sedation. However, for surgeons who prefer general anesthesia, the intubation tube is usually small and will not skew the results of the facelift.
My opinion is that there is no sound reason for changing your asymmetrical face as you should know that a totally symmetrical face is an exception in nature. The ears are also not normally exactly symmetrical to the millimetre, just as the whole body is not built symmetrically. What you should...
You shouldn't sleep on your face for a while after surgery. After about 2-4 weeks, you can start to sleep on your side. In case of any problems, you should contact a Board Certified Surgeon.
