Plastic surgeons offer facelifts to halt the effects of aging, but when should you get one?
NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2011 — Men and women alike are searching for ways to correct wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines on their faces. New York facial plastic surgeons offer many options to correct these flaws, from non-surgical treatments like BOTOX® to full facelifts. If you want a fundamental, long-term solution, a facelift can be your best choice.
A common question is, "If I get a facelift now, will I need another one in the future?" The answer depends on you. Your age, the condition of your skin, and the type of facelift procedure are all factors. The most important determinant, however, is personal choice: Do you want to keep turning back your aging clock or let it continue forward?
Getting a facelift or mini-facelift when you're younger — under 50 — will provide more subtle results. Younger skin has more elasticity, and your skin will spring back better after a procedure. An early lift will make it appear as though you've simply stopped the aging process rather than reversed it.
The effects of the facelift are permanent, but you will continue to age. If you choose facial rejuvenation when you're younger, you may want an "adjustment" in 10 to 15 years, to tighten your neck and facial skin again.
If you're older when you get your first facelift (or have a "touch-up"), it may be more obvious that you've "had something done." This makes it especially important to choose a surgeon that won't over-do it. Look for an expert facial plastic surgeon who delivers natural-looking results.
Experienced New York facial plastic surgeons offer many types of rejuvenation surgery. Options include:
- A forehead lift is a procedure to address deep forehead wrinkles.
- A brow lift can elevate your sagging eyebrows back to a youthful appearance.
- Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes fatty deposits and excess skin around your eyes.
- A full facelift smoothes and firms the cheeks, jawline, and neck. A deep plane approach gives the most aesthetic and natural look. Great care is taken in scar placement to assure a natural, "invisible" result.
- A neck lift tightens up or eliminates loose or "baggy" skin around your neck and jawline, giving you a smoother, more youthful profile.
