How Long Does a Facelift Last?

Many people have a vision in their mind of what they believe they should see when they look at the reflection staring back at them in the mirror. You may envision a face and/or neck with a younger appearance, or a face free of what you perceive as imperfections. If this is how you regularly feel, you may benefit from a facelift in San Diego performed by board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Roy David. If you’ve ever considered this option, here’s a closer look at how you could benefit from a facelift.

Redefining/Tightening Your Neck

The neck ages in several layers: skin loosens, muscles sag and loosen as well, and the skin texture and tone become wrinkled and discolored. An advanced neck lift will address all these issues by tightening loose skin and muscle, addressing deeper tissues like fat and possibly resurfacing the skin from the outside.   

Getting Rid of Loose Jowls

Jowls are not seen as a desirable trait by most. With a facelift in San Diego, this unappealing facial feature can be permanently removed. This is done by adjusting the jawline in a way that gives it a natural shape and position.

Tightening Sagging Skin

Loss of collagen, years of sun exposure, and the natural aging process are all factors that can contribute to facial skin that’s sagging. While there are anti-aging creams and similar solutions available, a more reliable option is cosmetic surgery. Sagging skin is usually treated this way with techniques that tighten deep neck and facial muscles without giving you a “pinched” look. Instead, you’ll be left with a more youthful appearance.

Saving Goodbye to Deep Creases

Understandably, deep lines or creases can make some San Diego residents feel a bit self-conscious. Aging can also result in a loss of skin volume, texture, and tissue structure, which can leave you with noticeable creases. Facial lines usually become more noticeable around the mouth, eyes, and nose. A facelift can soften deeper lines and restore volume in a way that leaves you with a face that’s a true reflection of who you are.

Doctor David’s advanced Deep Plane Facelift lifts the cheeks, thereby softening the smile creases and lifting the jowls at the same time. Only the most skilled plastic surgeons perform this type of lift.

Ultimately, what really matters with any facelift in San Diego is what matters most to you. You’ll have a chance to make decisions about specific procedures when you have your initial meeting with our team at Roy David MD in La Jolla, CA.
