So you are contemplating
on getting a facelift. The usual question that your friends will ask is why but
we won’t ask you that because as Coco Chanel said, “A woman has the age she
deserves.” Now it just comes down to whether you need a facelift or not.
Your Ageing Face
Sorry for using “your” here but let’s presume that you are
around 40 and above and now experiencing signs of ageing. The main changes that
one would see can be seen on the forehead, the middle part of the face i.e. your
cheeks and the lower area of the face i.e. the jawline and the neck. You would
also notice that the skin will eventually become thinner through the years and
with the loss of elastin will also become less elastic. At the age of 40
(earlier for some), you will also notice that you now have age spots as well as
wrinkles –the most dreaded change one would never want to experience.
What Is Facelift Surgery?
Before you consider getting an appointment for facelift
surgery, you should learn more about this type of surgery first. This surgery gets
rid of sagging of the skin in all the wrong places. You must remember however
that this is a type of restorative surgery and will not change your basic
appearance and will definitely not halt the ageing process.
Should I get a facelift?
It does not mean that because you want to get a facelift you
are eligible to get it and nope we aren’t talking about money matters here.
Facelift is only a good option if you are healthy and do not smoke. This is a very
individualized procedure so be sure to keep your expectations in check. A facelift
will definitely not make you look 20 years younger but will just enhance the
overall appearance of your face.
