New Study Shows You Do Look Younger after Facelift!

We have always relied on face and neck lift as a foundation for facial rejuvenation. Facelift has been a very popular procedure in our practice for those who simply wish to look their best. How much improvement do patients enjoy from facelift procedures? A recent study quoted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has evaluated individuals, between the ages of 45 to 70, both before and after facelift. The panel was asked to judge the ages of the patients based on the photos from before their surgery, and candidates were estimated to be a year younger than they actually were. Generally speaking, people who want to look good, do look better than average. However, after face and neck lift, the panel estimated the patients’ ages to be 7 to 8 years younger than they actually were!

The study did uncover another interesting fact. When facelift is combined with eyelid rejuvenation the impression on the panelists was even greater. Multiple procedures lead to happiness and better results according to the study. None of the patients had included any skin care, or facial fat transfers, as is our standard of care, so who knows just how good the results might have been.

So the results are in; facial rejuvenation will not only make you look fresher, you can look younger by 7 years. Now that is something a cosmetic surgeon can be proud of. Not the fountain of youth, but a fountain of youthful looks and living a life worth having.
