Your face is always exposed, and why shouldn’t it be! You don’t want to hide your face – you want to show it off. On the flip side, the face is one of the first areas you notice the effects of aging. If you’re tired of scrubbing the living daylights out of your face, all in the hope of feeling and looking younger, then it’s time to take a closer look at the plastic surgical procedure, the facelift.
Your face is exposed to the elements and the sun longer than any other part of your body, and unfortunately you can’t stop time or the inevitable effects it has on your appearance. There is a big market for home facial rejuvenation products and people are going to great lengths in order to keep aging at bay. But the reality is that visiting all the spas in the world doesn't hold a candle to the results a facelift can offer.
A frequently asked question from prospective patients is: “How long will the facelift last?” There are several factors that will determine how long your facelift will keep you looking young, and these include the following:
- The age you have the facelift
- Genetics
- Lifestyle habits (smoking, exercising, etc.)
- Medical history
- Experience of the plastic surgeon
Facelift surgery generally restores a youthful look for 5-10 years. It’s important to note that for many prospective patients, the results of the procedure may last for over 10 years. Your general health and lifestyle plays a determining factor on how you age. Since you can’t change genetics, the best action you can take is to practice a healthy lifestyle, one that does not include smoking and one that does include healthy diets and exercising. During your consultation and examination with Dr. Peterson, he will give you his medical opinion on how long the results from the facelift will last.
