It would be nice if one day someone would find that elusive fountain of youth. In the meantime, there are some things you can do to turn back the hands of time.
There are several types of face surgery that can tighten the skin and reduce lines and wrinkles.
Traditional face lift surgery is done by making an incision, lifting the skin, tightening the muscles of the face, and removing excess fat and skin. It is often combined with neck lift surgery.
During an endoscopic face lift, small incisions are made above the hairline or behind the ear. The plastic surgeon is able to tighten the face muscles with the help of a tiny camera that is inserted through the incisions.
A thread face lift is a non-surgical face lift procedure that doesn’t require any incisions and does not leave face lift scars. During a thread lift procedure, the plastic surgeon uses sutures to lift the eyebrows, eyelids, the lines around the mouth, and the neck.
Laser face lift is a skin resurfacing technique that tightens the skin, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Face lift recovery time will vary depending on the type of face lift procedure you choose. Following most procedures, you’ll need to wear a facial compression garment, such as a neck and chin strap, for the first few weeks to reduce swelling and bruising and to help you heal faster.
