As we age, it's natural for our skin to lose elasticity and volume, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and a tired appearance. While skincare and non-surgical treatments can help maintain a youthful glow, the most effective way to restore your natural contours is with a facelift.
What is a facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens the facial tissues to reduce visible signs of aging. It targets the mid-to-lower face and jawline, addressing issues such as:
- Deep nasolabial folds, also known as, smile lines.
- Sagging cheeks.
- Jowls or a poorly defined jawline.
- Loose skin and excess fat around the neck.
Modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning deeper layers of the face, not just pulling the skin, to create a natural and refreshed appearance without the "overdone" look.
Types of Facelifts
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. The type of facelift recommended will depend on your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the extent of aging. Common facelift techniques include:
1. Traditional Facelift
Ideal for moderate to advanced signs of aging, this comprehensive approach lifts the deep tissues of the face and tightens the skin. It often includes a neck lift for cohesive results.
2. Mini Facelift
This less invasive option is better suited for younger patients or those with mild sagging. It involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery time.
3. Neck Lift
Often performed with a facelift, a neck lift focuses on tightening loose neck skin and improving the jawline.
Combination Treatments
To enhance facelift results, many patients choose to combine their procedure with:
- Eyelid surgery for tired eyes.
- Dermal fillers to restore volume.
- Microneedling for skin texture and tone.
