The number of antiaging treatments for the face keeps on growing, both nonsurgical and surgical options. However, the traditional facelift holds the gold standard when it comes to reversing the clock on facial appearance restoring a youthful and natural-looking you. However, since there are so many antiaging treatment options besides facelift, there are some misconceptions and myths that need to be discussed.
In this article, we will address the common myths and misconceptions about facelift and debunk them.
There is no exact age for when a person can undergo a facelift provided you are an adult. The aging process causes facial skin and the underlying muscles to sag or loosens over time. This can occur at any time. Early-onset of aging can be caused by various factors such as smoking, overexposure to the sun, poor lifestyle, and genetics among others. Plus, since everybody’s skin is different, this can have an impact on the severity of aging.
Individuals in their 30s and 40s are often discussing ways to maintain their youth with their Plastic Surgeons while those in their 60s and 70s are looking to reverse the signs of aging. Nonetheless, they are all looking to have a youthful face. The ones in their 30s and 40s may require subtle procedures to rejuvenate their face while those in their 60s and 70s mostly want a full facelift. The only difference regarding the age when it comes to a facelift is that the aesthetic goals tend to differ depending on how much sagging or excess skin there is.
Facelifts are for both genders: men and women alike. Men just like women also want to maintain their youth and a facelift can give them an edge at both their social and professional life. The social stigma that prevented men from having plastic surgery has greatly decreased over the last couple of years, giving an increase in the number of men seeking cosmetic procedures. A man’s skin retains elasticity longer than a woman’s and this can enhance the effects of a facelift procedure.
A facelift can improve your appearance by reversing the signs of aging leaving you looking younger and refreshed. As much as it will tighten your skin and firm up your jowls, you will still, unfortunately, continue to age since aging is a natural process. Although the effects of a facelift can last for several years but this varies from person to person. Your Plastic Surgeon can recommend various treatments that can prolong the effects of your facelift such as Botox, fillers, and skin resurfacing treatments.
No two facelifts are the same because no two individuals are the same. Your Plastic Surgeon creates an individualized plan that targets your specific concerns and tries their best to achieve your realistic goals. Some individuals would best benefit from a full facelift while others may benefit from procedures such as blepharoplasty, brow lift, or platysmaplasty - a procedure that lifts and tightens skin in the neck area.
Years back, a facelift recovery was painful and it would take several weeks. However, since facelift techniques have evolved, the recovery is quite short and the pain medication is also better. it mainly depends on how well the individual takes care of their skin and incisions following the procedure determines how well and quickly they heal. Also following the doctor’s post-op instructions plays a huge role in the recovery.
