Top 5 Benefits of Facelift Surgery
Even if you have maintained excellent skincare and sun protection, you will still develop signs of aging over time. Skin laxity, lines, and wrinkles can give you an aged, tired appearance that does not match how you feel. A facelift tightens and smooths the skin to erase many years of aging.
What is Facelift Surgery or Rhytidectomy?
Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is a powerful tool for removing signs of aging. This procedure lifts and tightens your skin to smooth away wrinkles and correct sagging around the lower face and jawline. Dr. Rankin customizes each facelift based on your needs. He typically makes incisions around the ears and hairline to lift the skin and underlying layers.
Top Five Benefits of Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery has pros and cons that your team will discuss with you during your consultation. Some key benefits of a facelift include:
Long-Lasting Results
Facelift results can last ten to fifteen years or even more. It cannot prevent the progression of aging, so the skin will eventually develop lines, wrinkles, and sagging in the future.
Customizable
A facelift is customized based on your degree of skin laxity, your target areas, and your facial anatomy. Dr. Rankin uses different surgical techniques depending on these factors. 2 common techniques that Dr. Rankin uses are a Deep Plane Facelift and a High SMAS facelift.
Can Treat Moderate to Severe Signs of Aging
While we offer a wide variety of treatments for mild signs of aging, a facelift is a definitive procedure for addressing moderate to severe effects. Deep lines and significant sagging are often best treated with a facelift.
Improves Self-Esteem
By restoring your youthful features, a facelift can significantly boost your self-esteem. Many people find that a facelift makes them feel more confident.
Looks Natural
Dr. Rankin’s facelift tightens the skin and underlying SMAS layer. As a result, your results look natural instead of over-tightened or fake.
