FAQs
What is the Best Age to Get a Facelift Procedure?
Plastic surgeons, including Dr. Ivo, recommend facelift procedures to any person, male or female, over the age of 40 who is starting to get their fair share of wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin. If you are younger than 40, facelift procedures aren’t always recommended as you are unlikely to get any life-changing results due to your skin still being in relatively good condition.
With that said, every person ages differently, so if you have concerns or worries regarding your facial appearance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Ivo. It doesn’t hurt to have a consultation and see what can be done in your particular case.
What Type of Facelift Procedure Do I Need to Restore My Youthful Appearance?
Each patient is unique so to give you the correct information for your particular case, you need to consult with Dr. Ivo. Generally speaking though, the younger you are, the less of an intensive procedure you’ll need to get the results you want.
Some patients can get away with simple eyelid surgery or fat injection to the upper lip while others need to go through more extensive procedures such as fat transfer, chin implant, or a full-on facelift.
What Results Can I Expect Following the Facelift Surgery?
The results will vary from patient to patient, as there are many different factors that can affect the final outcome. However, rest assured that when you are in the hands of an experienced facial surgeon in the likes of Dr. Ivo Gwanmesia, you stand a much higher chance of getting the youthful appearance you’ve been dreaming of.
Will My Skin Get Scarred From the Procedures?
Yes, you are likely to get scarred following your operation as facelifts are a surgical procedure. That’s why it’s important to put your trust in the hands of an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Ivo. When you rely on an experienced professional of Dr. Ivo’s caliber, you will be left with minimal scarring compared to if you had the surgery done by a surgeon without much experience.
With that said, when your surgery is done right, the scarring will be practically invisible to the eye. This is why many men and women from all over the world go through facelift surgery despite the risk of scarring.
