What is a Facelift?
Facelift surgery, medically known as Rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure in Central London recommended for those looking for a long-lasting solution to static signs of ageing.
With the passage of time, it is natural to develop facial ageing, which can be noticed as saggy, droopy skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, fine lines, age spots, or skin damage from sun exposure. And all these signs of facial ageing can cause compromised facial harmony and requires cosmetic treatments to achieve an unblemished aesthetic, youthful facial appearance.
Facelift surgery is a medically approved procedure for ageing faces that must be performed only with a certified plastic surgeon with ample experience and can perform all facelift procedures to the highest standard.
In this blog, Dr. Ivo Gwanmesia, MBChB, MRCS, FRCS, a British and American board-certified, renowned, celebrity craniofacial plastic surgeon in the UK, dives into the question of why you should opt for surgical facelift procedures in the context of facial rejuvenation and boosting self-confidence.
Facelift and Wrinkles
Wrinkles are of two types; the first is dynamic, and the second one is static. A dynamic wrinkle can appear at any age, and even kids can develop it during the movement of facial muscles when crying or laughing. Dynamic wrinkles are temporary and become more prominent when you get upset, cry, or have a particularly stressful day. When a person develops dynamic wrinkles in their 20s or 30s, non-surgical facial rejuvenation options, such as Botox or fillers, are potential solutions. On the other hand, static wrinkles are corrected by surgical facelifting procedures that involve removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles.
Static wrinkles include the following ageing signs that surgical facelift procedures can correct:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines or laugh lines)
- Marionette lines (deep lines from the edges of your mouth down to your jawline)
- Tear trough lines under the inside corner of your eye
- Lateral cheek lines (lines on your cheek that occur behind “smile lines”)
- Lines across the neck.
Note: Static wrinkles are tough to treat non-surgically because they are deep and formed over long periods. However, surgical methods opt to address the unwanted, unsightly deep lines or creases.
Dr. Ivo has created a facelift technique that achieves the best unmatched, natural-looking results. If you would like to learn more about the procedure, we recommend visiting the facelift procedure page of our website.
Dr. Ivo Gwanmesia will explore all the benefits of facelift surgery with regards to achieving a younger-looking appearance and boosting self-confidence.
- Tighten Up Sagging Skin.
A loose skin envelope or sagging skin can be a tell-tale sign of ageing that is impossible to correct with anti-ageing creams, facial spa procedures, and non-surgical rejuvenation options. However, a specific surgical facelift technique is recommended if you are suitable for surgery with regards to your general medical status, anatomy, lifestyle, and desired realistic goals. Dr. Ivo performs facelift surgery to the highest standards. During the procedure, he will tighten the deep neck and facial muscles allowing for the removal of saggy skin without pulling the skin tightly, thereby avoiding tension on the incision line. As a result, you achieve a smoother, youthful appearance without a tight or pulled look.
- Facelift surgery Addresses Deep Creases.
Facelift surgeries are arguably the best way to address unsightly deep creases on the face. These appear as static wrinkles, and can be a source of anxiety for some patients. Many of our Central London patients have such fantastic results after their facelifts, and undoubtedly, we can say with certainty that facelifts do reverse ageing or turn the clock back. Most patients tell us they look 10 to 15 years younger after the procedure.
- Facelifts Tighten Your Neck, Face, and Jaw All at Once and Improves Self-confidence.
Several problem areas can make you look older, and with age, every sign of ageing gets prominent and can cause low self-esteem or make you feel more self-conscious in public. However, facelift surgery can help restore your self-confidence and achieve your desired goals. A facelift should be the right decision if you have more than one problem area and your concerns include marionette lines (deep lines from the edges of your mouth down to your jawline), tear trough lines under the inside corner of your eye, lateral cheek lines, and lines across the neck. Facelift surgery helps address ageing concerns significantly, as the procedure simultaneously tightens your face, jaw, and neck.
- A Facelift helps address your Double Chin.
One of the most noticeable signs of ageing that can cause low self-confidence is a double chin problem. The problem of excess saggy skin and submental fat deposits below your chin can cause compromised facial harmony and reduces your self-esteem. A double chin problem may occur due to weight gain. Other causes may be genetically linked as well as looser skin resulting from ageing. Therefore, a lower facelift with a neck lift might be what you need to eliminate your double chin. However, a facelift combined with a neck lift perfectly addresses the concerns of a double chin and helps neck rejuvenation at the same time. This combined procedure also corrects the jowl area.
- A Facelift Will Boost Your Self-Confidence.
Getting sagging skin and unwanted wrinkles and fine lines on your face are common with increased age, as it is a part of the biological ageing process. We cannot stop ageing. Fortunately, this can be reversed with approved cosmetic surgical options, as your board-certified plastic surgeon recommends. The presence of the signs of ageing on your face might leave you with low self-confidence in public because no one wants to look older, which is a fact. However, facelift surgical procedures are common among those seeking a long-lasting solution to their ageing face concerns. Undergoing facelift surgery might be a life-changing decision for you because it improves your youthful facial appearance. As a result, you will feel more confident in public or with friends.
