When is the best time for a facelift?
Not everyone is ready for facelift surgery. Timing generally depends on what concerns you want to address and their severity. Most surgeons recommend a facelift when unwanted signs of aging start to become too prominent. A skin rejuvenation evaluation at Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery can help determine the most suitable procedure to help meet your expectations and goals.
Concern #1: Loose skin
Collagen is an essential component of firm and youthful-looking skin, but it diminishes by the time we reach our 30s. The result is wrinkles and sagging areas that become increasingly visible over time. Loose skin may become noticeable around the cheeks, chin, and neck. Mid-to-lower facelift surgery can successfully remove the excess tissue and create smoother, more defined facial contours.
Concern #2: Fat accumulation
Genetics, weight loss, and age-related hormonal changes cause small fat deposits to accumulate around the face and neck – especially around the neck and jowls. This can give you the appearance of a double chin. Often these fat pockets do not respond to diet or exercise, which makes facelift surgery one of the best options for restoring a well-defined jawline. A lower facelift or neck lift may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Concern #3: Hollow areas
As skin becomes less elastic, the underlying soft tissue tends to shrink. You may experience sunken areas around the eyes and cheeks or a hollowed-out appearance. Even cosmetics cannot disguise this kind of problem. Facelift surgery repositions the underlying muscles and tissue, lifting and filling out hollowed areas to restore volume. A mid-facelift can be used to fill out the mid-face and cheeks in Englewood, CO.
What results to expect after a facelift
The results of any cosmetic surgery are highly individualized based on your underlying anatomy and aesthetic goals. However, many patients report improved natural-looking contours, tightened skin around the face and neck, and a more balanced appearance overall. Our team can provide detailed pre-operative instructions to minimize any risks associated with skin rejuvenation surgery while maximizing the outcomes.
How long will my facelift results last?
Results from facelift surgery are long-lasting if you follow the aftercare instructions provided by Colorado Facial Plastic Surgery. Sun protection is an important step since protected skin ages more slowly. We suggest scheduling regular follow-up appointments with our team to ensure longevity. You may need to undergo a touch-up procedure depending on your genetics and lifestyle habits.
