It doesn’t happen overnight, but it may seem like these visible signs have suddenly appeared! Often it’s the comments from others, such as “you look tired,” that cause you to take a closer look at your face. That’s when you may notice a deepening of the lines that run from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth and loose skin or excess fatty tissue in your neck. Or perhaps it’s the middle third of your face that has changed, showing wrinkling and sagging that can contribute to a sad or tired look. Increasingly, women and men are choosing facial rejuvenation surgery at an earlier age to help them keep looking as vital and energetic as they feel. For these individuals, having a facelift is one more way in which they can take control of their life and improve their appearance. Whether it’s for personal or professional reasons, looking your best can also give you a big psychological boost. The right time for you to have your facelift depends on a variety of factors. The first consideration is whether you really need a lift. If you are primarily bothered by fine wrinkling and sun damage, and you have no facial sagging or excess fat in your neck, then chances are that Microdermabrasion, ThermageTM, Botox® or Restalyne—all non-surgical, non-invasive procedures—may be the answer for you. If your main problem is excess fat under your chin, but your skin is still tight and elastic, you may be a good candidate for liposuction in this area. Liposuction to eliminate a double chin usually requires only a small, barely visible incision on the underside of the chin. In evaluating you for a facelift, the thickness, texture and elasticity of your skin and the severity of wrinkles and folds will be important considerations. Your hairline will be examined to determine where incisions can be discreetly placed. These factors, as well as your age, bone structure and underlying tissues, all go into developing an appropriate surgical plan. Because of these individual factors, not everyone achieves the same results from a facelift. At whatever age you have your facelift, the goal is to restore a more youthful contour to your face and neck.
