Youthful Facial Appearance With a Facelift

Facelifts are cosmetic procedures that have been traditionally associated with old people. This is because a patient who signs up for this surgery usually wants to look younger. However, this surgery has been gaining more popularity among younger people recently. 

According to research, close to 6,000 facelifts were performed in 2019 in the U.S. on people aged 54 and below. It follows that as more people continue to embrace facelifts, it is essential to know a few things about them.

What Is It?

Also known as rhytidectomy, a facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to improve and minimize noticeable signs of aging on your neck and face. The procedure deals with age-related skin issues like jowls, sagging skin, excess fat in the neck area, and wrinkles, just to name a few. If you are looking to get a youthful facial appearance with a facelift, here are a few procedures to consider.

Eyelid Surgery

If your eyelids begin to wrinkle or sag, eyelid surgery can help. Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery targets excess fat and skin around the eye area. They are the main contributors to an effect commonly referred to as bags under the eyes. 

During the procedure, the cosmetic surgeon will tighten your eyelid skin. To do this, he or she will preserve and redistribute the fat around your eyes. This helps an individual achieve a more natural look.

Brow Lift

This procedure aims to correct deep forehead lines and droopy eyebrows. In a brow lift procedure, the surgeon removes some of the tissue and muscle. They then raise your eyebrows, resulting in reduced frown lines and a smoother forehead. 

Nose Job

Rhinoplasty (nose job) is a surgical procedure that can change the shape or size of your nose. In some instances, it also involves improving the functioning of your nose. Rhinoplasty can correct breathing issues by providing extra support to certain parts of your nose. It can also help if you have problems due to a deviated septum. The procedure may involve:
 

• Open rhinoplasty.
   

• Closed rhinoplasty.

Afterward, your nose can be reshaped to the aesthetic form of your liking and, for others, improve their breathing.

Neck Lift

While age may impact your face negatively, your neck gets it rougher. To improve your neck’s appearance, doctors recommend a neck lift procedure. Cosmetic surgeons consider this procedure part of a facelift and can be done on the same day. It involves removing excess fatty deposits and stretching the skin so it becomes smoother.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implants are another option in a facelift procedure. It provides a way to more aesthetic facial contours, giving you a more youthful appearance. It also offers a more harmonious balance to your face. These implants are effective, safe, and make you feel better about your appearance.
