Facelift surgery involves a crucial step as a most requested plastic surgery and a serious commitment.

A quick listing of top questions that you should ask before getting a facelift surgery are as follows:

1.    Should I get a facelift?

Facelift surgery makes you look a younger or rested version of yourself and is a permanent solution to your static signs of aging. If you have started noticing tired, old, angry, and more prominent aging signs, it is your turn to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Karishma’s client often comes to her clinic and requests a procedure that can give them the more youthful version of their face they have before during their 20s or mid-30s rather than a dramatic change. Thus, you have a variety of reasons to have a facelift, but all of which are highly personal to you. So, once start feeling low about your facial appearance or lose your self-confidence due to prominent signs of aging, it is the right reason to go for facial plastic surgery.

2.    What are the different types of procedures available?

A facelift is the most popular anti-aging remedy in Bangalore, India, particularly among middle-aged adults who want a rejuvenated look and trying to reverse the signs of aging.

There are nine different types of facelifts available in the plastic surgery world to make you look younger, i.e.,

1.    Deep Plane/SMAS Facelift

2.    Mini Facelift

3.    Mid-Facelift

4.    Cheek Lift

5.    Jaw Line Rejuvenation

6.    S-Lift

7.    Cutaneous Lift

8.    Temporal or Brow Lift

9.    Liquid Facelift

Dr. Karishma has expertise in surgical and non-surgical facelifts. The specific type of facelift surgery is recommended based on your state of aging, current medical condition, and physiological and anatomical status. The non-invasive technique, termed a liquid facelift, involves injectable serum, such as Botox, Restylane, Dysport, or Juvederm, being injected into targeted areas to reverse the effects of aging.

3.    What is an ideal age for a facelift?

There is nothing like an ideal/ specific age to undergo facelift surgery because once you start feeling conscious about signs of aging, it is the right time to get the assessment done with your plastic surgeon. Since the aging process is significantly influenced by genes, skin type, and bone structure, some people start noticing prominent aging during the mid-40s or 50s. In comparison, others may start even during their late 20s. Moreover, a facelift is a highly personal decision that requires an introductory consultation with a plastic surgeon before reaching the final action. Usually, a facelift works best for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s when signs of aging become prevalent. But you can also have facelift surgery even well into your 80s. Dr. Karishma says facelifts are just as safe for older people as for those in their late 20s or 30s, as your plastic surgeon screens carefully to avoid potential complications. Depending on your aging status and skin condition, you could get a mini-facelift in your late 20s or 40s. However, this is rare.

4.    How long do facelifts last?

Usually, a facelift lasts 7-10 years. Thus, it is ideal to recommend the first facelift in the mid-40s to early 50s so that a secondary “refresher” facelift or other follow-up rejuvenation procedures can be done in your mid-to-late 60s if you like.

5.    What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon during in-person consultation?

You should prepare a list of questionnaires while attending an introductory consultation for facelift surgery.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu recommends asking these questions:

·       What should I expect from the procedure?

·       How much time would I require to achieve proper healing?

·       Can you show me some “after-and-before” photographs?

·       Can you plan a custom-tailored surgery based on my goal and specific concerns?
