WALNUT CREEKNon-surgical anti-aging treatments can hold back the appearance of aging for a long time, but not forever. These treatments cannot correct significant sagging skin or deep lines and wrinkles. A facelift provides dramatic, long-lasting results that help you look years younger.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift or rhytidectomy restores a more youthful appearance to the middle and lower part of the face. The procedure can lift and reposition the skin, muscle, and fat layers for natural-looking results. It smooths lines and wrinkles, removes sagging skin, and tightens the skin around the jawline to eliminate the appearance of jowls.
How Long Does a Facelift Last?
Before you undergo any surgical procedure, you will likely have questions about the results. Most people want to know how long they can expect facelift results to last. The answer varies between individuals. A facelift cannot stop the progress of aging, so your skin will continue to change in the years following your procedure. Most people feel happy with their results for ten to fifteen years. Good skincare and sun protection will help your youthful appearance last longer.
How Does a Facelift Work?
A facelift is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Aycock uses incisions hidden in the hairline to lift and remove loose skin and fat. He will tighten the skin and underlying tissue to restore your youthful features and eliminate lines and wrinkles. In the hands of a skilled surgeon, a facelift can have dramatic but natural-looking results with no “overdone” or tight appearance.
Can I Have Other Procedures With a Facelift?
A facelift works very well with other facial procedures. Dr. Aycock may recommend one or more surgical procedures if he thinks they will help you achieve your desired results.
Many people choose a neck lift to slim and tighten the neck area with their facelift. Others with drooping brows or forehead wrinkles may consider a brow lift to treat areas a facelift does not generally reach. An eyelid lift can rejuvenate the entire eye area and make you look more refreshed and alert. If you have questions about other procedures in combination with a facelift, Dr. Aycock will discuss them with you during your consultation.
How Much Does a Facelift Cost?
The cost of a facelift will depend on several factors, including:
- Where you live
- Your provider’s skill and experience
- The type of procedure
- Other fees and expenses
The average cost of a facelift is about $7,655 can range from $10,000 to 20,000. This does not include additional costs such as anesthesia, medications, and other expenses. A consultation will give you a clearer idea of your actual cost.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
You might be a good candidate for a facelift if you have sagging facial skin with lines and wrinkles. Ideal candidates are in good health and understand what to expect from the procedure. You may not be a good candidate if you have certain health problems.
I finally had coolsculpting on my tummy and what a surprisingly easy treatment it was. Ashley the nurse was fantastic and she used the new hand piece that is smaller and faster. It was painless except for the 2-minute massage after the treatment but not bad at all. I’m a little sore today but this was easy-breezy and I can’t wait to see my results. I highly recommend it.
