When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, a facelift is an excellent way to 'turn back the clock' and eliminate some of the most visible signs of aging from your face. Here are the top benefits you’ll enjoy when you opt for this plastic surgery procedure.
A facelift is designed to eliminate excess facial fat, tighten underlying facial muscles, and smooth the skin of your face. While it cannot stop the aging process altogether, it can make you look younger and more rejuvenated.
The best candidates for facelifts are men and women who have:
- Mid-facial sagging
- Deep creases under the eye
- Nasolabial and marionette lines
- Sagging in the neck
- Jowls or loss of definition in the jawline
It’s important to note that facelifts are not designed for certain concerns, such as sagging eyebrows, excess skin and fatty deposits in the upper and lower eyelids, or wrinkles around the mouth. If you do suffer from these issues, your plastic surgeon can help determine which procedure will best meet your needs.
In many cases facelifts can be performed together with other procedures such as a neck lift, forehead lift, eyelid surgery, and certain skin treatments.

4 Benefits of Opting for a Facelift
Your face is a very significant part of your identity, and if aging has made you look tired, worn out, or haggard, it can take a toll on your self-confidence. Luckily, facelift surgery can restore a more natural and youthful appearance to your face, allowing you to age gracefully in the years to come.
Facelift surgery offers patients numerous benefits, including:
- Tightens facial muscles. The underlying structures of your face tend to weaken and sag with age. During a facelift, your plastic surgeon will tighten and rearrange this underlying structure into a better configuration, putting less tension on your skin and allowing the results of your facelift to last for much longer.
- Repairs loose skin. If you have any sagging skin, this will be carefully trimmed and tightened to restore a more youthful and natural look. When you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon, they will ensure that facial skin is not overtightened, avoiding a ‘pulled’ appearance.
- Improved facial contours. A facelift can also restore a smoother look to the cheeks and lower eyelids, while also creating a more attractive jawline contour. This plastic surgery will eliminate jowls and smooth out the neck area, greatly improving your facial contours and shedding years off your appearance.
- Increased confidence. One of the biggest reasons that people opt for cosmetic surgery is to improve their self-image. As we age, lines and wrinkles begin to appear and our skin loses its elasticity. A facelift is one of the best ways to combat this, and as a result, your self-esteem and confidence will improve.
