It is very easy to become self-conscious about the appearance of one’s face. After all, our faces are exposed to the world most of the time. We use our mouths to communicate verbally and our facial expressions to communicate with one another on a non-verbal level. This constant movement paired with the exposure to the elements often causes your face to show the signs of ageing before the rest of your body. This can make you self-conscious about your appearance and wonder what can be done to effectively reduce the signs of ageing. Luckily, cosmetic surgery has the solution in the form of a mini facelift!
The skin’s primary structural protein is collagen and the elasticity of the skin is determined by elastin. As we age the production of collagen and elastin in the skin reduces, leading to the signs of ageing such as wrinkles, loose skin, and baggy eyelids. A facelift can correct these signs of ageing to rejuvenate your facial expression and reduce the visibility of wrinkles for a more youthful look. Regular exposure to the sun can also damage your skin and cause dark spots and wrinkles to become more visible. This is why cosmetic surgeons will always advise individuals to take good care of their skin by using sunblock and limiting the amount of time spent in the sun.
Full Facelift vs. Mini Facelift
If you are considering a facelift it is important to know that there are two options when it comes to this procedure. A full facelift focuses on the entire face and a surgeon will make incisions at the temples, continuing down and around the front of your ears, hidden in the natural creases behind your ears. A mini facelift focuses on certain parts of the face, primarily around the jaw. Your surgeon will make short incisions in your hairline, starting at your temples and continuing down and around the front of your ears in order to smooth out the lower half of the face. Depending on the extent of the problem, one of these techniques will be utilised during your surgery. Your surgeon will discuss your options with you and determine which surgery would be most effective at addressing an individual’s problem.
