Facelift For The Ageless

How young is too young for a facelift? And, how old is too old for a facelift? A good rule of thumb is if you haven't finished settling into your adult appearance, and there are no discernable scars or malformations that can benefit from this procedure; there won't be much for the surgeon to correct or improve. However, lift accompanying procedures such as muscle stimulation, skin resurfacing, or injectables such as plumpers or muscle relaxers can help before gravity and time really kick in, they are options as well.

On the other hand, for the older lady or gentleman, the health and condition of your skin is truly the determining factor of how your procedure will turn out. The thinner the skin and the less elasticity there is the less likely it will be that everything will move and heal smoothly. The good news is that if you've been exercising, taking your supplements, and moisturizing properly for decades, your skin should respond very well. Whether your young or old, the decision to move forward with a facelift procedure should be weighed against how significant a change the surgery will make on your appearance; whether you'll benefit from a brow, mid, mini, or full lift; and how natural the work is in your surgeon's portfolio.

A facelift can optimize the youth in a man or woman's face. The skin and muscles begin to change in our twenties. The face begins to show increased gravitational pull around the eyes and mouth as the thirties and forties pass by. So if a patient and knowledgeable facial plastic surgery professional believe that his or her eye or lower mouth/jaw line will benefit from the procedure they will move forward.

For an older patient seeking the benefit of the facelift, the procedures involved are more common. The droop of the layers of muscles of the face and neck can vary in degree depending on the age, health, and skin care of the patient. Older patients know exactly what areas of their face could use the relief. The chosen surgeon can assist with rejuvenation because he or she has studied the progression of aging muscles and skin of the face. Older patients may also benefit from the accompanying skin procedures that offer an additional upgrade to the surgical aspects of the lift. Due to the fact that this procedure does not aim to alter the skin beyond the remove of excess, the texture, complexion, overall color may be washed out due to time and scarring. Therefore, a patient may acknowledge or a surgeon may suggest the use of laser or glycolic acid resurfacing to promote cell regeneration and well as toning.

For any age adult seeking the advantage of the many degrees of the lift procedure, the uniqueness of age, skin condition, and any muscular or nerve defects, in the face or neck, will be the only factors altering the procedure. Whether the patient is relatively young or well seasoned with time, the brow, mid, mini, and full lift can help to rejuvenate a more youthful, rested, and uplifted compliment to your features for years to come.
