(HealthNewsDigest.com) – There was a time when facelifts only belonged to the rich and famous. Fortunately, that was a long time ago. Decades have passed since the first facelift was performed, and the advances in medicine, technology, and surgical techniques are evident. A complete rejuvenation of the face and neck is no longer solely for Hollywood starlets; it does not require a long and painful healing process; and it does not have to cost a ton of money. When performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon, the facelift will require little to no downtime. Healing is a breeze, and the results will look natural and organic.
There are several different types of techniques available today, including the full facelift, the mini-facelift, and the liquid facelift. No matter which procedure you choose, the contemporary facelift can:
1. Eliminate the Jowls:
The lower face is one of the first places to show your age. Your jowls, the sagging skin along the lower cheek/jawline, are created as the facial volume decreases with age. A facelift will remove or raise this excess tissue, eliminating sagging skin, and plump the creases around the nose and mouth.
2. Smooth Deep Wrinkles:
Age, sun exposure, smoking, and genetics can cause your neck and face to develop fine lines and deep creases. A ‘liquid facelift’ combines Botox Cosmetic and facial fillers like Juvederm, to erase years off of the appearance in just minutes. Botox will eliminate the dynamic wrinkles, those caused by repetitive muscle movement, while fillers can significantly improve static lines, resulting from sagging, lax tissue.
3. Refresh a Tired Appearance:
The face’s healthy structure and shape comes from fat cells and collagen. Over the years, these will begin to disappear, resulting in a tired, unhealthy appearance. A facelift will sculpt the cheeks and jawline. The final result will be a contoured, rejuvenated look.
4. Improve the Loss of Chin Definition:
Through the years, the skin’s elasticity and muscle tone will slowly fade. When these start to diminish, the tissue under the jaw will sag, eroding chin definition and causing a crepe-paper appearance of the neck. A facelift will tighten and smooth the skin, restoring the shape of the jawline. As tissues are lifted and pulled taut, the crinkly tissue of the neck will be eliminated.
5. Look as young as you feel:
Unfortunately, while you may still feel like you are in your 20s, your face may be giving your secret away. A facelift removes those telltale signs, taking years off the appearance by whisking away fine lines, lifting drooping skin, and eliminating lax tissues.
