Maximise the results

The preservation of facelift results goes beyond the surgery itself, encompassing comprehensive care and lifestyle adjustments:

Follow post procedure instructions

The immediate post-operative period is critical for shaping long-term results. This includes managing swelling, keeping the head elevated, and attending all follow-up appointments for optimal healing.

Protect your skin from sun

Chronic sun exposure can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and the skin's elasticity. Regular application of broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing hats, and seeking shade can mitigate these effects and sustain the benefits of your facelift.

Avoid smoking

Smoking can impair circulation and lead to premature ageing. Abstaining from tobacco products is vital to maintain the enhancements achieved through surgery and support overall skin health.

Maintain well-moisturized skin

A routine that includes diligent moisturisation can help the skin remain supple and may improve the longevity of facelift results. Consider products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which bolster skin barrier function and hydration.

Avoid weight fluctuations

Significant weight fluctuations can alter facial contours and affect the skin's appearance. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, lean proteins, and healthy fats can support skin health and contribute to lasting surgical results.

Why is this procedure not permanent?

While a facelift can rejuvenate and tighten facial features, it cannot stop the natural ageing process. Over time, factors like lifestyle choices, environmental exposure, and the body’s inherent ageing will gradually affect the skin and facial contours, causing visible changes once again.

When do you need a touch up?

Some signs may indicate the need for maintenance procedures or a touch-up:

• Sagging skin: As the years pass, gravity and the natural reduction of skin elasticity may lead to a reappearance of laxity that could be addressed with a secondary lift or other skin-tightening treatments.
• Loss of volume: The loss of fat and other soft tissues with age can be corrected with volume restoration techniques such as dermal fillers, fat grafting, or even revision surgery.
• Deepening wrinkles: Over time, facial expressions and environmental factors can lead to the return of wrinkles. Non-surgical interventions or additional surgical refinement can help maintain a youthful appearance.

Choose a skilled surgeon

The expertise of your surgeon is a pivotal element in both the immediate and long-term success of a facelift. An experienced surgeon who tailors the procedure to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals can provide a natural, enduring outcome. Moreover, a surgeon's approach to comprehensive patient care, from the initial consultation through the recovery and beyond, is fundamental in navigating the journey of facial rejuvenation.
