What Are The Benefits Of Getting a Face Lift?

Your face is an incredibly significant part of your identity. If your facial appearance always looks tired, worn out, or haggard, it can take a toll on your self-confidence.

Face lift surgery can restore a more natural and youthful appearance to your face, helping your personality shine through and allowing you to age more gracefully in the years to come.

 Do I need a Facelift?

Many patients have questions about facelifts. Is it the right time? Am I a good candidate? Do I need a face lift in Chicago? One of the best ways to determine if you’re ready for a facelift is to examine the benefits and decide if you’re ready for the procedure. Here are a few of the things a facelift can do for you.

Tighten your neck

As we age, the skin in our face begins to sag, droop and wrinkle. Sometimes, these changes can make men and women feel as if they look years, or even decades, older than they actually are, or more importantly, feel inside. One of the most common complaints patients make about their aging face is that the skin under their chin and on their neck is loose. Words and phrases like “turkey neck”, multiple chins” and “gobbler” are spoken in hushed tones describing the embarrassment patients feel at a saggy or fatty chin and neck area. 

Many patients wear high collar shirts or turtleneck shirts and sweaters to hide these features. Patients report they don’t want to take pictures due to their “flabby” or “turkey” neck. The good news is that this is just a temporary problem that can be addressed with a face and neck lift.

Lose those Jowls for good

Loose jowls are great for bulldogs and Redbone coonhounds, but they are not a desirable trait for people.  For some patients, the most embarrassing facial feature they have are hanging jowls from their jaw-line. These can be removed for good with a facelift, giving you a sleeker tighter jaw-line and slimmer look of which you’ll be proud.   Plastic surgeon will carefully sculpt and restore your jaw-line to a sharp, natural position without a pulled wind tunnel appearance.

Tighten up for sagging skin

As we get older, a loose skin envelope or sagging skin can be a telltale sign of aging. After a certain point, all the anti-aging creams you can rub on your face to tighten up your skin will not counter the effects of the sun, father time, and volume loss.   When plastic surgeon performs a Chicago face lift he will tighten the deep neck and facial muscles allowing for the removal of excess skin without “pulling” the skin tightly causing tension on the incision line. The results are a smooth youthful appearance without a tight or pinched look.

Get rid of the deep creases

Aging can result in the loss of volume and tissue structure leaving a face and neck that appears “falling” and “worn”.  Plastic surgeon will restore the deep tissue structures to their proper position and augment with fat or fillers any volume loss in the aging face. The result is a facelift that softens the nasolabial lines and restores volume so that patients look naturally younger than their actual age.
