Is a Surgical Facelift the Answer for you?

Medical advancements and modern medicines increase our overall life expectancy with every generation. However, the signs of aging are not yet unstoppable or avoidable. Early signs of aging will normally show in the facial areas around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Luckily, a surgical facelift can correct these signs to turn back the effects of aging for a while and have a rejuvenated and more youthful facial appearance and expression. If you are considering a surgical facelift, Centurion Cosmetic Clinic is your answer.

What Does Aging Do to My Skin?

Collagen and elastin cells are responsible for the structural wellbeing and elasticity of your skin. Collagen is the primary structural protein in a human’s skin. Elastin cells assist the skin to be firm and elastic. As we get older, the skin experiences a decrease of collagen and elastin cells and production. The results of this decrease lead to aging signs such as loose skin, wrinkles, and heavy eyelids. Gravity and consistent exposure to the sun only add to the problematic signs of aging, which make them unavoidable in the end. Luckily, a surgical facelift can temporarily address these problems and deliver a rejuvenated facial expression.

An Ideal Candidate for a Surgical Facelift

An ideal candidate for a surgical facelift will have a well-defined facial bone structure and skin that is still healthy and elastic enough for optimal results. Candidates are usually between 40 and 60 years of age. However, surgical facelifts have been performed on older people with solid bone structures and healthy skin. If you are considering a surgical facelift, you can book a consultation with one of our professional surgeons. They can give you a comprehensive assessment on the health of your skin and whether you can consider a surgical facelift to reach your desired results. If you smoke, prepare to quit smoking for 2 months before and after your surgery to optimise oxygen flow in your body and help the healing process on cellular level.

The Procedure

A surgical facelift will improve on the visible signs of ageing by removing excess fat from specified areas on the face and tightening the underlying muscles. This will smooth out wrinkles and tighten up loose skin in the treated facial areas. This procedure is not a permanent solution to aging signs but can take care of wrinkles and creases that have formed over the years.
