Posted on June 4, 2021December 22, 2022Benefits of getting a Face Lift Benefits of getting a Face Lift Wondering how to look young without plastic surgery? How do i get rid of my loose skin of the face and neck without surgery? Are there any non-surgical alternatives to a facelift? Do I need a facelift? Am I old enough to get a facelift? Is facelift for me? Who is a facelift expert in Mumbai, India? What are the benefits of a facelift? I am sure most of us at some point of our lives have googled these questions in our quest for the fountain of youth and looking young. We address a few of these questions in our blog below and a lot more information on facelift surgery is available on our website in the facelift section. We all wish to look youthful with plump and tight skin as we have in our twenties. Our desires to have a well-toned jawline and the neck continues into 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. But as we enter our 30’s, our skin begins to lose more collagen than we can produce and slowly begins to lose its shine, suppleness and turgor. Stressors like inadequate sleep, poor diet habits, stressful life, lack of exercise and adequate skin care regimen contributes to early aging and making us look much older and tired for our age. As we pass on to late 30’s and into the 40’s the skin starts to become loose with appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This could be a nightmare to many and people begin their journey towards finding the fountain of youth by searching for home remedies, face yoga, YouTube videos of influencers and the search continues forever. Most of the content online either does nothing to your skin or gives a very temporary result. Most of you realise it sooner or later. Anti-aging procedures help you maintain a natural and youthful appearance for your age. It needs supplementation with a good lifestyle for longer lasting results. In 30’s and 40’s, we begin to see early jowling, fine lines and creases and loss of some good body fat and collagen from our face. These changes can be treated by Botulinum Toxin (Botox), Fillers, Threads and some energy based non-surgical devices. As we grow older, the skin and muscles of the face and neck becomes loose and can no longer be just treated effectively by the above methods. This is where a facelift, neck lift, brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and lip lift come into the picture and can give long lasting effective results towards appearing youthful. Even though these are surgical procedures, they are extremely safe in well trained hands and are the only way to achieve the results that you are looking for. None of the nonsurgical treatments work effectively on your skin and muscles to restore youthfulness of your face and neck beyond a certain age irrespective of the number of sessions you do of any treatment. A facelift or rhytidectomy is a cosmetic surgical procedure that helps not only to tighten the loose skin of face and neck but also helps in tightening the muscles and restoring the fat which gives a naturally youthful appearance. Benefits of a Facelift Eliminates the signs of aging A facelift addresses multiple aging problems such as Sagging skin of your cheeks, jawline or the neck Deep nasolabial folds (creases that appear from the corner of the mouth to the nose) Double chin or loose skin of your neck Loss or displacement of facial fat A facelift can lift and tighten the sagging skin and restore the lost volume to give you well-rested, younger looking appearance. Tightens up the sagging skin The facelift tightens the muscles and tissues underneath the skin of your face and neck and restores the lost fat by fat grafting or fat redistribution. The loose skin is repositioned over it and excess skin trimmed to get rid of jowls and deep creases effectively and give a long lasting smooth, firm and clear, younger looking skin of the face and neck. Eliminates double chin or loose skin of neck We all hate the double chin and feel worse if it has loose hanging skin which we call the Turkey neck. A facelift helps restore a well-toned and more defined jawline with the tight neck skin by getting rid of excess loose skin, fat deposits in the neck and tightening the muscles of the neck. Invisible surgical scars The incisions of a facelift are planned in a manner such that there are no visible scars that can be noticed easily. The scars are meticulously planned behind the ear, in the natural folds of the ear and within the hairline such that the secret of your surgery gets easily concealed and you look naturally young. Natural-looking, long lasting results The most common concern regarding a facelift is to look operated or having a fake looking face. The facelift surgery has undergone many refinements in technique over the years and the current focus lies in restoring as natural looking appearance as possible by repositioning tissues in their original position as they would be in your 20’s or 30’s. The whole purpose of the surgery is to make you look a better, looking younger version of yourself. There are many benefits to a facelift that makes your appearance more attractive, natural looking and youthful however, the surgery needs to be performed by well-trained qualified plastic surgeons to avoid unsightly results or complications.
