A facelift is the most effective plastic surgery to get rid of skin aging and to restore sagging tissues to their original position. Why undergoing this operation ? Is there a minimum age for a facelift ? Can anyone benefit from it ?
What are the signs of facial skin aging ?
Skin aging is generally manifested by the following signs :
The appearance of wrinkles or fine lines on the face
The loss of density of skin tissue.
It is known that with age, the skin loses its tone. Volumes deepen (temples, cheeks, etc.) and wrinkles appear all over the face.
The lower part of the face is a particularly sensitive area, often affected by the sagging of tissues (ptosis).
All of these signs give the face a tired look which has a negative psychological effect on the person who suffers from facial skin aging which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Why opting for a facelift ?
A facelift is the perfect cosmetic surgery to correct sagging and drooping facial structures without profoundly altering one’s expression, so, facial expressions remain unchanged. The face simply appears fresher and more youthful.
Moreover, this operation has many psychological advantages as it allows the patient to feel more self confident and younger than before.
What is the ideal age for facial surgery ?
There is no ideal age to consider a facelift surgery. However, it is perfectly indicated as soon as there is visible and rather significant skin sagging that causes discomfort.
Furthermore, it is difficult to perform a facelift on people who are too old and whose facial skin is no longer elastic enough.
On average, a facelift is generally realized around the age of 50.
In addition to the average age, your surgeon will carefully study all the characteristics (skin texture, facial structure, your wishes in terms of results…) in addition to your state of health and medical history (whether you suffer from certain diseases or allergies or if you are taking some medications…) to give you the most appropriate solution.
