Aging is an inevitable part of life, but fortunately, there are many facial rejuvenation treatments available to combat its effects. If you’re interested in maintaining a youthful appearance, consider facelift surgery, a popular cosmetic procedure that can help you look younger for years.
What is Facelift Surgery?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that targets the visible signs of aging, such as sagging and loose skin on the face and neck. A facelift works by lifting and tightening facial muscles, reducing sagging jowls, and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.
How Long Does a Facelift Last?
Although facelift results are long-lasting, they are not permanent due to the natural aging process. To maintain your results, consider protecting your skin from the sun and keeping it well-moisturized. A healthy lifestyle can also extend the benefits of a facelift, helping you look and feel more confident.
How Does Facelift Surgery Work?
With over 26 years of experience, Dr. Stein, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Raleigh, NC, carefully assesses each patient’s face and creates a customized surgical plan. Dr. Stein performs facelifts by making subtle incisions around the ears or within the hairline, then tightening muscles and removing excess skin to give patients a naturally youthful appearance.
Dr. Stein’s refined techniques ensure minimal discomfort, reduced scarring, and a faster recovery time. While results are visible shortly after surgery, full results are typically seen within six months.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Facelift surgery can be an excellent option for both men and women experiencing:
- Sagging skin
- Loose muscle bands in the face and neck
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds
- Jowls
If you’re interested in addressing these signs of aging, facelift surgery may be ideal for you. There is no specific age requirement, so anyone showing signs of aging can potentially benefit from a rhytidectomy.
