Over time our skin starts to lose its collagen and elasticity, these work to keep our skin smooth and firm. The aging process is inescapable but some procedures can help to pause time and reduce the effects of aging, such as a facelift. Many women and men who start to see signs of aging, start to wonder what they can do to diminish these. There are many ways to help with aging without surgery such as:

• Injectables
• Laser Skin Resurfacing
• Skin Tightening

All these procedures are minimally invasive and help to make your skin look younger, but do these procedures work to the same effect as a facelift? A facelift completely rejuvenates your look by getting rid of the sagging skin, wrinkles, and jowls. This takes years off of your looks and is long-lasting.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This cosmetic surgery aims to create a more youthful appearance by addressing several age-related changes, including:

• Sagging skin on the face
• Deepening of fold lines between the nose and mouth corners
• Loss or displacement of facial fat
• Development of jowls in the cheeks and jaw
• Loose skin and excess fat in the neck, often appearing as a double chin or “turkey neck”

It’s important to note that a facelift primarily targets the lower two-thirds of the face and the neck. It does not address issues in the forehead or around the eyes, which may require separate procedures such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).

Why Wait?

Life gets in the way, many people put off surgery because they feel they don’t have the time or money to spend on the procedure or recovery process. Surgery can be intimidating, our doctors at FacesFirst Cosmetic Surgery will talk through any anxieties related to undergoing surgery and help you be completely informed, so you feel comfortable undergoing this procedure. Though facelifts don’t have an age limit, it can be harder to obtain great results the more aging sets on. The perfect time to get a facelift is when you start to notice clear signs of aging.

Signs of Aging
