When you begin fighting a battle with wrinkled, sagging skin on your face, the obvious answer is the facelift. As one of the most popular and long-living plastic surgery procedures, the facelift has become iconic as the go-to procedure to tame visible signs of facial aging.
Yes. A facelift is a great way to knock years off of your appearance. Common issues, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and jowls, can be improved to achieve a more youthful, well-defined contouring of your face and jawline. However, you may be able to get even more out of your facial surgery by combining it with other procedures that complement it.
Facelift & Friends
When we age, we don’t age in just one area. It happens all over, and at variable rates. What people often forget about the facelift is that it is specifically designed to target these signs of aging in the mid to lower region of the face. However, when performed alone, a facelift in Michigan may leave other areas of the face untouched.
In order to achieve a fuller rejuvenation of the jawline and neck, the facelift is often performed along with a neck lift. This allows you to improve the appearance of not only sagging jowls, but also loose skin or folds around your neck as well.
For addressing the upper portion of your face, you may consider supplementing your facelift with a brow lift. A brow lift helps by improving the appearance of forehead furrows or a droopy brow to revitalize your look even further. The procedure helps by lifting your forehead and brow to correct these signs of aging for which a facelift is not intended.
Even though your face will look years younger after a facelift, if you are struggling with sagging eyelids or puffy bags beneath your eyes, you can be left wanting more from your procedure.Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can be combined with other facial procedures to maintain a youthful appearance around the eyes as well.
Choosing a Facial Procedure for Yourself
Everyone ages differently, so not everyone will require the same procedures. However, if you are considering multiple facial procedures, it may be beneficial to have them performed together, rather than over a period of time. Combining facial procedures adds no further risks and can dramatically cut back on the time that you spend recovering from surgery.
