“The decision to undergo surgery should never be treated lightly, as all surgical procedures come with varying degrees of risk and recovery time associated with them.”
A facelift can improve your image by giving you a revitalised, refreshed appearance that will help you to look and feel your best.
A facelift does this by tightening underlying muscles, removing excess fat, gently redraping the skin of your face and restoring the contour of your neck. This gives you a smooth jawline, reduces jowls, but doesn’t change your normal expression.
The result can be either a change of appearance or a fresh, rejuvenated look.
A facelift is often combined with other ancillary procedures such as eyelid surgery, a forehead or browlift, liposuction (to remove fat), nose reshaping, removal of skin blemishes, laser resurfacing and/or chemical peel treatment.
Although a facelift and ancillary procedures can produce a harmonious, fresh appearance from forehead to neck, not all wrinkles, furrows and folds will disappear - especially those of long standing where there is some permanent skin damage.
Facelift surgery does not itself change your life and your personality, although cosmetic surgery performed on patients with realistic expectations can improve self-confidence and create a more positive self image.
