No one can escape the visible effects that come with aging. Fortunately, multiple facial rejuvenation treatments can undo the aging effects on your skin. If you’re looking for a way to look younger for many more years, you should consider a popular cosmetic procedure known as facelift surgery.
What is Facelift Surgery?
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a popular surgical procedure that can make a visible difference in reversing the extreme signs of aging, such as sagging and loose skin on the face and neck. More specifically, facelift surgery lifts and tightens your facial muscles, reduces sagging jowls, and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles.
How Long Does A Facelift Last?
Unfortunately, aging can cause your skin to droop again over time. Although facelift results are not permanent, this cosmetic procedure is long-lasting and can keep you looking younger for years to come. Moreover, there is plenty you can do to extend your facelift results.
Some of the things you can do to make your facelift results last longer include protecting your skin from the sun and moisturizing your skin daily. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also boost the results of your rhytidectomy, making you look and feel more confident.
How Does Facelift Surgery Work?
With 26 years of experience, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Stein in Raleigh, NC, first thoroughly examines the patient’s face and creates a customized plan that will best work for the patient. Dr. Stein performs a facelift procedure by making discreet incisions around the patient’s ears or in their hairline while pulling back and removing excess skin on the face to give them a more youthful appearance.
Finally, he closes your incisions, leaving you with visible results shortly after surgery. Dr. Stein uses his most polished facelift techniques to reduce discomfort and any noticeable scarring and provides you with a faster recovery time. However, you should be able to see full results within six months.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Both men and women can make excellent candidates for a facelift. Facelift surgery can benefit people with the following cosmetic conditions:
- Sagging skin
- Loose muscle bands in the face and neck
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds
- Jowls
If you are interested in reversing the aging process on your skin and neck, then facelift surgery might be an excellent option for you. There is no set age qualification to get this cosmetic procedure, which means that just about anyone showing signs of aging can enjoy the benefits of a rhytidectomy.
