Do I need a facelift?

If you happen to be old and spend a lot of time staring into the mirror and not feeling happy about your facial appearance, then a facelift would be a good idea.

 The facelift isn’t for older people with wwrithekles alone. Candidates for a rhytidectomy procedure can be both men and women at the age of 40 in relatively good health to regulate excess fat.

If you’re considering a facelift, you must make an appointment for a personal or one-on-one consultation with a facial cosmetic surgeon. It is also essential you inform the surgeon about your medical history, which includes previous or present surgeries in case there’s a need for correction before the facial treatment commences.

If you’re ready for a facelift, there are many advantages you would stand to benefit from the facial treatment. However, for the sake of this article we’ll be concise and look into five benefits of facelift we think you should know about:

1. Rejuvenation of wrinkled neck

This has been hinted above earlier. A successful facelift by the right and a board-certified cosmetic surgeon would redefine and improve your facial appearance. This is one of the significant benefits that significantly boost self-confidence.

Some patients often walk around with a turtleneck shirt hiding under fabrics as they walk through the street or sit in the chair all day in their place of work to avoid being talked about or pointed at.

With a firmer facial appearance, patients feel happy about their looks without having to stare into the mirror with a long face.

2. It takes away the jowls!

Neapolitan Mastiff, Newfoundland, and Dogue de Bordeaux among other dog breeds are good looking with loose jowls but certainly not on granny’s face or yours if you happen to have them.

A facelift makes you look good without those loose jowls which are natural for specific dog breeds and other animals. Many patients have complained about being embarrassed and taken for a glutton because of the hanging jowls.

3. Lifts up the sagging skin

As we get older, our skin tells the stories. The appearance, however, not smooth enough, makes us grow long faces. But everyone deserves to be happy even at an old age.

After consulting the right cosmetic surgeon; facelift becomes the magic portion that brings back time. It can make you look young again with a great facial appearance as compared to the former.

If accurately done by the surgeon, a facelift will age naturally as you continue to grow older.

4. Elimination of deep creases

Naturally, aging declines the volume and structure of tissues leaving the face and neck going down south. It, therefore, leaves you with a worn facial appearance.

Facelift or rhytidectomy, as mentioned above, can help eliminate deep creases and enhance your facial appearance by repositioning falling tissues to their initial and fitting position and act as a filler to volume loss.

5. Improve productivity from lower level to a higher level

Since facelift can boost a patient’s self-esteem and self-confidence, it, therefore, helps to increase the level of one's productivity in places of work, school, and in other public areas.

Conclusion

For some patients, a fareast does more than the rejuvenation of wrinkled neck, losing hanging jowls, lifting of folds or making a face firmer. It raises their self-esteem as well and puts them in a state that improves their productivity.
