Among the most common New Year’s resolutions we make each year is to develop healthier habits to make us look and feel better inside and out. We resolve to do things like eat healthier and develop fitness habits and hope to stick by them all 365 days of the year.
And while the main goal is to feel better on the inside, it’s not a bad thing to look better on the outside as well. Nowhere on our bodies are these signs more evident than on our faces. Deep wrinkles, sagging skin and a noticeable tired appearance are all effects of aging and stress on our bodies.
So it’s no surprise that throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for a surgical facelift has increased. With more downtime at home to recover, the facelift has surged in popularity among men and women looking to restore the youthful appearance of their faces.
A facelift is usually combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, neck lift or double chin lift to achieve that restored look patients desire and feel a sense of renewed confidence with how they look.
At Memorial Plastic Surgery, our surgeons perform facelift surgery using a variety of techniques to counteract the signs of aging on the face, while promising faster recovery and less downtime.
Benefits of Getting a Facelift
A facelift is a highly individualized procedure. A treatment plan is developed for each patient after their initial consultation, when their skin texture and skin elasticity are evaluated and the severity of wrinkles and folds are assessed.
Today, there are several types of facelift procedures, including the standard facelift, mini facelift, mid facelift and deep plane facelift. Thanks to these new techniques, surgeons are now able to eliminate forehead wrinkles, cleavage lines and jowls while improving the volume of the cheeks, the definition of the jawline and the appearance of the eyes, nose and mouth.
The popularity of a facelift in Houston, TX and around the world continues to grow as patients realize the fantastic results it can achieve. Here are 5 ways a facelift can rejuvenate your appearance in the new year:
- A facelift tightens up loose skin.
Loose skin around the mouth, eyes, and nose can easily be corrected by facelift surgery. During the procedure, incisions are made typically behind the curves of the ears so excess skin can be removed and the tissues can be lifted to restore your youthful contours. - A facelift eliminates loose jowls.
One of the most common side effects of aging is the development of jowls or “turkey neck.” If you are bothered by this loose skin and fat around the jawline, a facelift eliminates this excess tissue for a defined jawline and elongated neck. It can also be paired with neck liposuction to remove more stubborn fat on the area. - A facelift restores sagging skin around the eyes
If you’ve ever been told that you look sad, tired, or angry as the tissues continue to droop around your eyes, a facelift surgery is perfect for you to maintain a fresh-faced upper face. Patients who request for an eyelid surgery in combination with their facelift can expect our surgeons to treat the excess skin that hangs down onto the eyelashes and for the muscles around the eyelids to be tightened after fat is removed. - A facelift improves wrinkles.
Facelift surgery involves tightening up or removing excess skin and tissue to dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds in the mid to lower face. It can help to correct deeper lines and wrinkles for a smoother look. - A facelift has near invisible scars.
A facelift is a surgical procedure that positions the minimal incisions within the hairline to hide them. So, once you’re fully recovered, you’ll look young and fresh-faced without any indications that you’ve undergone any facial procedure.
There’s no reason you shouldn’t look and feel your best this year. Because after all, when we feel good and confident about ourselves, it translates in the way we carry ourselves and do the things we need to do each day.
