This is a commonly asked question among many people considering plastic surgery to achieve a younger and more vibrant version of themselves. While only you can decide whether or not to get a facelift, it’s vital to do your due diligence and understand what a facelift is and how it can help improve your appearance.
To help you make an informed decision, here’s a guide that explains the facelift procedure in detail and why you should get it.
What is a facelift?
A facelift is a cosmetic procedure that tightens and lifts the loose skin on your face for a younger appearance. Facelifts aim to pull back your facial skin to make it smoother and tighter. It’s usually performed on the lower half of your face, so it can extend to your neck, ensuring any flabby skin in this area is lifted.
Why should you get a facelift?
The ageing process makes your skin sag and drop because of the decrease in the production of collagen; a vital protein responsible for skin tightening. So, as you near your 40s, 50s and 60s, you may start seeing facial changes like wrinkling that make you look older than you actually are.
However, this doesn’t mean only older people get facelifts. Younger individuals can also have the procedure done to eliminate facial lines caused by stress, hormones and environmental aggressors.
If the skin on your face and neck has started to sag and your skin is less elastic, consider getting a facelift. A well-done facelift by a certified and experienced cosmetic surgeon will go a long way in helping you look younger and healthier
Should I have any expectations?
It’s essential to note that the results of a facelift are not guaranteed. Therefore, have realistic expectations for your procedure and speak honestly with your surgeon about your goals. For instance, if you don’t want a dramatic change that makes you look different, be sure to communicate that.
Remember, various factors can affect the overall outcome of your facelift, and there’s only much a doctor can do to enhance your appearance.
What’s the recovery period?
It takes around 2 to 4 weeks to recover from a facelift fully, but this varies from person to person. You’ll have to be patient after your procedure, as it can take up to nine months to see the full effect of your facelift.
