As you age, the youthful contours of the face that you were used to for so long may start to change and appear older. As time progresses, the skin can start to sag and develop wrinkles, giving away your age. A popular form of cosmetic surgery among both men and women – a facelift can work to remedy those issues to give you a more youthful and vibrant glow.
Factors such as age, heredity, smoking, or even exposure to the sun can damage the skin and make you look older. Just because you have aged, it does not mean that you have to go around looking that way as well. If how you look is making you unhappy or uncomfortable, then a traditional facelift procedure can take that pain away.
A traditional facelift can help eliminate excess sagging skin, fat deposits. and deep folds in the middle to lower section of your face. Keep in mind that this is an invasive surgery that requires the use of strategic incisions to gain access to the underlying tissues. The incision will be made along the hairline to remain hidden once it has healed.
After making the incision, your surgeon will separate the skin, the tissue, and the muscle so that excess fat can be removed. The muscles and tissues around the area are also strengthened and the excess skin from the area is trimmed.
