When it comes to minimizing the appearance of sagging facial skin, no skin cream or serum can quite compare to the youth-enhancing powers of a facelift.
Here’s why: A facelift helps address skin sagging down at the muscular level, where subdermal tissue has begun to break down and droop. By correcting this sagging at its source, a facelift can help address surface layer aging symptoms (like wrinkles and facial folds), while also preventing signs of sagging for years to come.
But what do we mean by “years”? Exactly how long does a facelift last?
Your Facelift Results: How Long Will They Last?
While your facelift results won’t last forever, they will last for several years – in fact, most patients can expect their facelift results to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.
These results can include:
- A more contoured facial appearance
- A reduction in skin sagging
- Significant improvement to facial wrinkles and lines
- And more
If you opt for a mini-facelift (which usually targets the lower facial region), your results may last between five to 10 years.
How to Maintain Your Facelift Results
If you love your facelift results, it makes sense you’ll want to keep them around for as long as possible. If you want to make your facelift results last, we recommend:
- Wearing sunscreen whenever you’re outside
- Eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, veggies, and lean proteins
- Avoiding smoking
- Reducing or ceasing alcohol use
- Investing in a good skin care regimen, including moisturizing
Your plastic surgeon can provide you with a comprehensive post-op recovery plan that will ensure you’re set up to enjoy your facelift results for years to come!
