For many of us, the signs of aging seem to appear overnight. Although we do, technically, age gradually, it can be alarming to suddenly notice several signs of aging all at once. What happened to your youthful, carefree face? Well, it is still there, it will just take a little bit of work to bring it back. Fortunately, a facelift can help. Not sure when it’s the right time to get a facelift? Here are four signs you may be ready:
#1: Sagging Skin
Have you started to notice sagging skin in the cheeks? This flabby, slack skin is difficult to target with other procedures and responds best to a facelift, which will remove excess skin and tighten appropriate muscles to give your skin a youthful boost.
#2: Less Facial Volume
As we age, our face tends to lose the moisture and elasticity it once had, resulting in hollow cheeks and decreased volume. If this is apparent to you when you look in the mirror, a facelift could be just what you need, as it will improve facial contours, giving you a fuller, better-rounded look.
#3: Deep Lines and Wrinkles
Are you noticing lines and wrinkles that seem permanently etched into the skin? Never fear, as a facelift can also help with that. By tightening muscles and redraping the skin, a facelift can help diminish or even erase some of the most stubborn creases you see.
#4: Injections and Peels Are Not Enough
At the first signs of aging, you may have begun a facial maintenance regimen including dermal fillers and chemical peels to keep your inner, radiant glow. However, if you have started to feel as though these short-term solutions are no longer providing you the results you seek, or if you are seeking one answer to solve your cosmetic woes, then it may be time for a facelift.
