The Areas of the Face That Can Be Improved With a Facelift Surgery
- Posted on: Aug 15 2024
Aging is a fact of life, but your face doesn’t have to broadcast your age to the world. Age-related changes in the face can start as early as your 30s or even earlier. It can be disheartening for many women in their 30, 40s, 50s, and beyond. At FosterMD, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Wayne Foster expertly restores youthfulness with facelift surgery.
If you’re concerned about sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or loss of definition, a facelift can offer remarkable improvements. But what areas does it improve? Here are the key areas.
The Mid-Face
As the body ages, the middle of the face loses volume, leading to a sagging, tired, or hollow appearance. In a facelift, Dr. Foster can lift and reposition the skin and its underlying tissues to restore volume and contour, creating a more lifted and youthful look. This rejuvenates your face and returns the youthful fullness that time stole away.
Jowls and Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds – the “smile lines” – can make you look older, and they’re usually one of the first places to reveal age. Jowls – those sagging pockets of skin on either side of the chin – can also age your lower face significantly. Dr. Foster tightens and lifts the skin in these areas to give you a smoother lower face and a more defined jawline.
Loose Skin and Sagging Fat
Over time, skin loses its elasticity, and fat distribution can change. Pockets of fat may appear in areas where your skin was once smooth. In a facelift, Dr. Foster removes excess stretched-out skin and fat, repositioning all the tissue in your middle and lower face for a harmonious, beautifully balanced appearance.
Areas Facelift Doesn’t Cover
Facelift surgery doesn’t cover the top part of the face: The eye and forehead areas. But, if you’re concerned about aging in those areas, you can add a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or other procedures to your facelift for complete facial rejuvenation at once.
