Facelift is the only procedure in the cosmetic treatment world that creates a younger-looking facial appearance, and the effects are long-lasting. A facelift offers you a rejuvenated face and neck profile by addressing sagging skin, excess fat, and drooping concerns and helps meet the goal of a youthful facial profile in just a single session. Thus, most people seek facelift surgery worldwide when they are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s when signs of aging become more pronounced. During this aging stage, they start seeing noticeable static wrinkles, such as lines at the corners of the mouth, across the cheeks, and along the neck, says Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a board-certified plastic surgeon in Bangalore.

Dr. Karishma has dealt with thousands of cases concerning facelift surgery at her practices in Indiranagar and Whitefield, Bangalore, and found out most patients request facelifts because they feel they need more confidence about how they look. As far as the candidacy is concerned, if they are physically fit and do not have medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, weight instability, collagen vascular diseases, or other wound healing anomalies, they are the right fit for surgical intervention.

Even though everyone knows why a facelift surgery should be opted for, it is important to understand what a facelift procedure entails.

A brief of Facelift’s benefits is jotted down below:

·       Addresses sagging facial skin

·       Improves fold lines between the nose and mouth

·       Addresses jowls

·       Facelift is the best option for addressing turkey neck/ double chin, i.e., loose skin and excess fat around the neck.

Are you considering having facelift surgery but still want to know more about the benefits? Here are the brief details that might help you better understand the pros of the surgery as follows:

1.    Tightens Your Skin: The sagging skin can be noticeable once you approach the static aging process. Even though aging skin is a natural process and we cannot stop it, it requires cosmetic attention once you feel conscious about the effect. Sagging skin can be seen in the jowl and neck area, negatively affecting your facial frame. Therefore, an expert, board-certified facial plastic surgeon recommends facelift surgery, as the procedure tightens and smooths the skin, which helps harmonize the aesthetic appeal of your face.

2.    Rewind the aging process: Facelift surgery is requested to address the signs of aging that primarily includes static wrinkles, such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, double chin, and issues with excess fat. Static wrinkles are often the results of dynamic wrinkles that have deepened over time. However, it is inevitable to take care of your skin from a very early age to limit the effect of the aging process for a more extended period, and the rescue can be applied by using facial moisturizers daily; if you smoke, stop smoking, use a gentle cleanser, protect the skin from harsh sun rays, avoid repetitive facial expressions, eat a healthy, nutritious diet, do regular exercise, etc. Unfortunately, these all-preventive measures work to a limited extent, as the natural aging process gives you sagging skin and is permanent, which should be addressed with a surgical procedure.

Facelift surgery has a crucial role in turning the clock back and making you look younger, and fresher, as you may look like 20-something again. 

Three ways having a facelift can rewind the aging process, including:

a)    Addressing double chin or turkey neck

b)   Smoothening wrinkles in the lower face and neck

c)    Tightening sagging skin in the lower face and neck.

3.    Facelift Procedures Pair Well with Other Cosmetic Procedures: There is more than one cosmetic procedure available in the cosmetic world to alter and correct undesirable signs of aging, such as eyebrow or brow lift, eyelid surgery, fat grafting, laser skin rejuvenation, micro-needling, and injectables. These procedures can be paired effectively with a facelift surgery based on your aging status, realistic goals, and the desired outcomes to achieve a youthful, fresher, and contoured facial profile. Combining the procedures can save time, avoid recovery hassle and cost burden and eliminate the need for additional or subsequent procedures. Moreover, the conjugation of facial rejuvenation procedures addresses multiple aging concerns in a single surgical session, making the procedure worthwhile and cost-effective.

4.    Lasting Results: The results of facelift surgery are long-lasting, as the effect of rejuvenation can last up to 9-10 years. Regarding the recovery process, it may take 2-3 months for the face to feel back to normal in terms of achieving the results. The noticeable changes after the surgery can be seen in improving the texture of facial skin and providing you with a more youthful and rested appearance and making you feel more confident about yourself. Even though the results are not permanent, long-lasting effects can be expected. A facelift result can last up to 10 years.
