As your age approaches the big 50, the signs of aging inevitably becomes increasingly prominent on your face as well as your body.
This is when most people want to regain their youthfulness in terms of their physical appearance.
One of the most common surgeries people do to regain a younger facial appearance is rhytidectomy, which is more commonly known as a face lift.
It is a tried and proven way to help take years off your face! A rhytidectomy's results can last for many years.
This is different from results from cosmetic treatments like Botox injections or other dermal fillers.
It is true that a face lift cannot last forever too but it will last much longer than any other form of facial plastic surgery.
Most other forms of plastic surgery done on the face such as Botox injections usually only last for several months or a few years at best.
Most people find that one such face lift surgery can last between ten to fifteen years.
After that, some people choose to have a second rhytidectomy performed.
However, just like any other plastic surgery, it has its limits too.
If you get a face lift, you may need other surgeries such as liposuction or a tummy tuck to help you get into great shape and look like you have a young body too versus just getting a rhytidectomy and only looking young in your face.
There are several factors which can affect the longevity of the results of a face lift.
They are your eating habits, smoking habits, amount of sun exposure as well as alcohol and drug use.
If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, then one face lift procedure will definitely last much longer for you.
Drink lots of water, avoid constant sun exposure and definitely look to limit the amount of alcohol you take.
If you smoke, you should seriously consider quitting this bad habit.
Keeping in shape by getting into a regular and intense exercise routine along with a healthy diet will help you maintain the results of a face lift surgery for much longer periods of time.
As you age, wrinkles in your face will definitely develop and your skin will start to sag as well.
This means that you will start developing a double chin and with lines all over your face.
This is why a rhytidectomy is so great - it helps you reverse all of these natural aging problems easily.
