A facelift can be a transformative experience, rejuvenating your appearance and restoring youthfulness to your features. However, maintaining those results requires dedication and care. These are a few ways that you can prolong the benefits of your facelift to look and feel your best for years to come.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift is a popular plastic surgery procedure that can address various signs of aging like wrinkles, deep facial folds, volume loss, and sagging skin. Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in several types of facelift procedures, including the mini facelift for early signs of aging and the full facelift for moderate to severe signs of aging. Our goal is to achieve natural-looking results that enhance each patient’s unique features while considering their individual treatment goals.
Maintaining Your Results
Although facelift results are not permanent, they can last for ten years or more. The following guidelines can help you maintain your refreshed, youthful appearance for as long as possible.
Consistent Skincare Routine
Establishing a daily routine that includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection is crucial for preserving the health and vitality of your skin. Invest in high-quality skincare products that cater to your specific needs, and be diligent about applying them daily. Hydration and sun protection are particularly important, as they help to prevent premature aging and maintain the elasticity of your skin. Make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays.
Healthy Lifestyle
In addition to external care, nourishing your skin from within is equally important. Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes balanced nutrition and regular exercise can have a profound impact on the longevity of your facelift results. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into your diet, and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Exercise not only improves circulation, which promotes healthy skin but also helps to reduce stress, a common contributor to premature aging.
Non-Invasive Treatments
Non-invasive treatments are a great way to enhance and extend your results after facelift surgery. The skin will continue to age after surgery but as wrinkles start to develop, dermal fillers or Botox can smooth them away. Regular facials and skin treatments can also help refresh and maintain glowing, healthy skin.
