What Is the Best Age for Getting a Facelift?

Are you affected by signs of aging? Though in some cases these signs can be treated with products such as Botox or dermal fillers, you may have found them to be ineffective in your case, or want a more permanent solution. If so, you may be a good candidate for a facelift, a popular cosmetic procedure that can help you look and feel younger, and help turn back the hands of time. At Milford MD in Milford, PA, we can help you find the best solution for your aesthetic concerns.

What Is the Best Age for Getting a Facelift?

Patients typically schedule this procedure in their 40s and 50s, but your age is not the primary determinant of whether you qualify for the procedure. The way that your face begins to show signs of aging can be affected by a variety of factors, including lifestyle, genetics, and the environment in which you live.

Is This Procedure Right for You?

Generally, if you have enough signs of aging that non-invasive remedies cannot improve your appearance, this procedure may be right for you. A consultation at our office is the best way to determine if you are the right age and a good candidate for this cosmetic procedure.

The factors that we will evaluate during your consultation include your overall health, the condition of your skin, your muscle tone, and the structure of your bones. We will take all of these factors into consideration when deciding whether this procedure is for you. We need to conduct this in-person evaluation so we can determine whether a facelift is the only way to reverse the effects of aging on your skin or if there are other ways to rejuvenate your look.

What Exactly Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to correct the signs of aging that have begun to affect the face. However, every procedure will be unique to the patient who gets it. In addition to being completely customizable, this procedure can also be combined with other procedures to achieve the best results.

Customize Your Treatment

We customize every patient’s procedure to meet their specific needs and aesthetic goals, as different faces exhibit aging in different ways. There are patients who want to schedule a full lift, and there are patients who only want or need a mini lift. Your surgeon will evaluate the areas of concern in your consultation and recommend the procedure that will help you reach your goals.

Additionally, we’ll be sure to provide you with more details about how the different techniques will affect the final result. During our consultation, we’ll determine your suitability as a candidate for surgery and design a treatment plan to achieve your desired results and keep them for a long time to come.

Combine Cosmetic Treatments

The procedure is not only customizable but can also be combined with other anti-aging treatments and techniques in order to achieve maximum results. Having a facelift will not remove every single line and wrinkle from your face. In order to address all your concerns, we can combine this cosmetic procedure with other treatments to address different areas of the face and neck. These treatments and procedures may include:

  • Eyelid surgery
  • Botox injections
  • Dermabrasion treatments
  • Chemical peels
  • Laser treatments
  • Neck lift
  • Brow lift
  • Forehead lift
  • Facial implant
  • Dermal fillers

We will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. It is possible that some of these treatments and procedures can be performed simultaneously with your facelift, and if not, we can design a treatment plan and schedule treatments after your procedure to help you achieve the best results.

How Should I Prepare for Surgery?

In addition to designing an individualized treatment plan for you, we will schedule your surgery and provide a list of directives that will assist you in preparing for the day of your procedure.

Things To Avoid

For ten days before your scheduled procedure, you will be required to refrain from taking anti-inflammatory and blood-thinning supplements and medications. As a smoker, you will achieve the best results if you stop smoking entirely before your procedure. However, if you are unable to give up smoking before your procedure, then you must stop smoking at least two weeks before it. Smoking negatively impacts your recovery and procedure, so you should avoid it at all costs.

You should arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment as you will not be able to drive after the procedure, and you should wear comfortable clothes. It is important to follow the pre-surgical instructions to ensure a successful surgery.

When Will I Start To See Results?

The results of a facelift are immediate, but the final effects won’t be apparent until the healing process is complete. Follow the recovery instructions carefully to ensure a healthy and quick recovery so you can begin enjoying your results sooner rather than later.

How Long Do Results Last?

The results of a facelift are long-lasting. Having undergone this procedure and recovered fully, you can expect to enjoy your results for a long time. Although the aging process cannot be stopped, we can take the necessary steps to combat it and perform additional treatments so that you can keep your skin tight and youthful as long as possible.

Will I Still Look Like Myself?

In this cosmetic procedure, the point is not to make you look totally different, but to combat and reverse the signs of aging and restore a youthful glow to your appearance. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about looking like a different person. However, you should have realistic expectations when it comes to the procedure and the final result. To make sure you’re fully prepared for the procedure and outcome, we will be sure to discuss the details of the procedure and the results you can expect.

How Much Younger Can I Look?

Patients can appear up to ten years younger than their numerical age with this procedure. In spite of the fact that this anti-aging procedure will improve your appearance, it will not improve your skin’s quality. But, by making healthy lifestyle choices and using quality skincare products, you can enhance your results and maintain a youthful appearance.

Use Good Quality Skincare Products

In addition to improving skin health and quality, you will be able to maintain your procedure results long-term if you invest in quality skincare and apply products with anti-aging ingredients to your skin. Our skincare experts can help you determine which products to add to your routine that will produce visible and lasting changes in your skin.

Make Healthy Lifestyle Choices

In order to keep your skin looking young after your procedure, you need to avoid smoking, exercise consistently, and drink enough water each day. A healthy lifestyle can have a profound effect on your skin. So, if you wish to enjoy the benefits of your procedure for as long as possible, you can do this easily by adopting a few healthy living habits regarding your diet and your health.

What Is the Recovery Process Like?

Our surgical team will take all steps necessary to help you begin your recovery once your procedure has been completed. You will be given directions on what you should avoid and what activities you should engage in during your recovery period. The majority of patients feel significantly recovered within seven to ten days after their procedure, but recoveries will differ from patient to patient depending on the extent of their procedure and additional personal factors.

After the procedure, you should avoid strenuous activities for two weeks. Our team will also make sure that you are given a detailed list of any other things to avoid so that you know how to achieve the best possible results.

Could I be a Candidate?

There is a possibility that you may be a great candidate for this highly popular cosmetic procedure if you want to tighten and lift the skin on your face in order to combat the aging process and achieve long-lasting results. It is possible for both men and women to schedule this procedure to regain their youth and reverse the more severe signs of aging. The best candidates are those who are in good general health, preferably not smokers, and who are aware of the procedure and the potential results.

Restore the Youthful You

It’s impossible to avoid the aging process entirely, but that doesn’t mean that you have to let it define your appearance. Thanks to cosmetic procedures like the facelift, it is possible to turn back time. Contact our team of experts at Milford MD in Milford, PA, to schedule your initial consultation and learn more about how we can restore your youthful face and confidence.
