One of the popular types of cosmetic surgeries to create a younger face and appearance is face lift. By doing face-lift surgery, sagging skin of the face especially in some parts like cheeks and jawline will be removed and any visual signs of aging that is occurred on your face will be improved.
Neck-lift can be part of facelift process to reduce fat deposits and folds of skin on this area.
During a face-lift, the surgeon makes an incision on both sides of the face to remove excess fat and skin, then tighten the muscles and tissues; lift and pull back the skin and at last, close the incision.
Facelift surgery is an invasive cosmetic surgery that its healing and recovery time is very important;
So, having good physical health will cause better results. Also, non-smokers and people having a good skin condition with acceptable flexibility and elasticity can expect optimal results from facelift surgery. There are some other factors that your surgeon will check in your first consultation session.
Although people’s lifestyle affects their skin -surface but the signs of ageing generally become prevalent at the ages of 40s, 50s and 60s; so, the best time for facelift surgery is mid- 40s to early-50s. The experts, also, believe getting a facelift in the mid-40s will lead to the best result.
Of course, there are several factors such as age and health status of the patients involved. However, normal and strenuous activities can be carried out only after two and four weeks, respectively.
Important point: A face-lift won’t decrease fine creases or wrinkles in your skin or damage from sun exposure. Other cosmetic procedures can address the appearance or quality of the skin itself.
