Key visible signs of facial aging include fine lines and wrinkles. Expression lines (forehead, between eyebrows) and crow's feet around the eyes often appear first and deepen over time into wrinkles, particularly around the mouth (marionette lines).
As skin loses elasticity, it sags and becomes lax, causing drooping around the eyelids, cheeks, and jawline. This creates a "jowly" appearance.
The face also loses volume due to fat and bone loss, resulting in hollowed temples, flattened cheeks, and deeper nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth).
Skin texture and tone undergo changes as it becomes thinner, drier, and less smooth. Pore size increases, and uneven pigment, such as dark spots or age spots, becomes more noticeable.
Structural changes can also occur, with the nose appearing longer, lips thinner, and the lower jaw hanging lower.
FACELIFTS have seen a huge increase in popularity due to the new techniques and safety. Their safety profile has improved significantly! Major complications occurring in less than 1-2% of cases when performed by board-certified surgeons.
Natural Outcomes also played a significant role : Older methods just pulled the skin, but modern SMAS and Deep Plane techniques lift underlying muscle and tat, restoring youthful contours without a "windblown" look.
Long-Term result is one more important factor: A facelift can last 10 to 15 years.
