Although we cannot stop the effects of aging, a facelift will help you turn back the hands of time by refreshing your appearance. Every year, thousands of men and women have facelift surgery. This medical procedure is also called a rhytidectomy and is one of the world’s most popularly performed plastic surgery procedures. Facelifts help to remove facial wrinkles and sagging facial skin caused by aging while also giving you a big boost of confidence.
Here are four signs that it might be time for a facelift.
Less Invasive Procedures Stop Working
When your facial problems begin to surface, skincare products and procedures like collagen injections can help. Most patients begin with facial rejuvenation procedures like Botox® for deep lines, or dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments are temporary. You will need follow-up treatments to maintain your results.
As you age and your problems intensify, these facial rejuvenation procedures may no longer be enough. When these products and treatments stop making a difference, it might be time to consider a more permanent solution – a facelift.
Sagging Skin
Our skin loses its elasticity as it ages, resulting in collagen loss and sagging skin. A full facelift is the only thing that can help rejuvenate sagging cheeks, jowls and eyelids.
Appearance of Deep Lines and Wrinkles
Dermal fillers and injectables can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But when deep lines and wrinkles begin to set in, a facelift may be the solution. Some lines and creases are just too deep for creams and non-surgical procedures to make a difference. But a facelift can smooth out these deep lines and wrinkles to give you a more youthful appearance without looking artificial.
A Sunken or Exhausted Appearance
If your face no longer displays your energetic and youthful spirit, it may be time for a facelift. As your face loses collagen, you may get a sunken or exhausted appearance. You may notice a lack of fullness in the cheekbone area. A facelift can lift up some of the underlying tissue that has sagged to give the cheeks more volume.
