We exist in a time when we have never been so aware of our faces – what they look like to others, how they are perceived and how they appear to us in our reflections daily. According to research, Facelifts remain in the top 5 most common procedures in the Aesthetic industry.
Traditionally facelifts were marketed at individuals aged in their 40s, 50s and 60s, and this was because as the skin ages, the loss in elasticity, plumpness and volume causes the skin to sag in areas (commonly around the eyes, lower third of the face and neck), making the complexion appear limp and lacklustre.
What Is the Best Age For a Facelift?
One of the most common questions asked is – How old do you have to be to have a facelift? The answer is no longer subject to a specific age group but more determined by how the skin’s structure changes. The most common signs to look for if contemplating a facelift are;
Wrinkles underneath the eyes. Deep-set line around the eyes, nose and corners of the mouth. Loss of jawline definition caused by jowling. Excess fat deposits across and around the neck.
The Y Facelift
Pioneering Facial Surgery, Dr Yannis Alexandrides created the innovative Y Facelift procedure, which involves starting along the end of the jawline from the ear, with the tail end along the neck. Providing a more contoured defined area overall, the skin will be left rejuvenated and lifted.
Mini Facelift
A gentler approach compared to a full facelift, the mini facelift is ideal for those experiencing an early onset of the visible ageing process such as jowling, deeper set lines, wrinkles and a loss of rejuvenation. Leaving significantly less scarring, you can expect a quicker recovery with enhanced results.
3-D Surgical Facelift
A 3D Surgical Face Lift involves using fat-grafting techniques and transferring small yet vital amounts to the face to enhance, lift and sculpt results. A widely practised form of facial rejuvenation, the advanced state of surgery means that the fat tissue can be placed almost anywhere the patient requires. As a result, little to no fat injections are needed post-surgery, and the transformation lasts longer due to the fatty tissue supporting and enhancing the effect.
Therefore, if you are considering a Facelift procedure and notice the visible signs mentioned above, we always recommend consulting a medical professional and seeking their advice on the best solution for you and your skin.
