Is a Facelift Right for You?

Today, the widespread acceptance of a facelift as a way to look more rested and relaxed has made it an option that more people consider. As a comprehensive measure for dealing with the accumulating signs of age and stress, a facelift offers the ability to restore the balance of their features.

People of most every age who have taken this step say they wish they’d done it sooner because of how it makes them feel. How they look is just the beginning.

A Personal Form of the Medical Arts

Just as no two faces alike, there are no two facelifts alike in the hands of an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. The differing goals of each person mean that more than one technique is usually called for because the goal is to harmonize the features and contours of the face, rather than simply to perfect one or two.

The right plastic surgeon’s skill is beyond medical. Over the course of many years of experience, the genius that has accumulated behind facelift techniques is wonderful to contemplate. For example, the incision that lifts and smooths one’s cheeks might be hidden in the hairline of the temples. To take years off one’s laugh lines, the procedure might be under the earlobe.

Popularity and Experience

Today we can consider a facelift with unprecedented confidence and with higher goals than ever, because the acceptance of facelifts for enhancing one’s appearance has grown rapidly as a normal option. The experience in the field and the refinement of techniques has progressed geometrically as a result.

This great refinement of skills and techniques means that today the surgery won’t get the compliments. Long past is the time when “having a little work” was always noticeable or even considered a badge of rank. The value if a facelift now is more personal, more considerate, and more an expression of the best side of ourselves.

We can expect to look younger, more rested, more relaxed, more fit – but not changed, because never have experience and technique been so advanced.

What Sets Your Facelift Apart?

The most delicate abilities, the keenest way of seeing, the finest surgical skill we can imagine is absolutely necessary. But these skills are only the beginning. They are just what gets an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to the beginning.

What sets a great plastic surgeon apart from the rest is the heart of a surgeon. The empathy that inspires confidence in someone considering a facelift – that empathy enriches any form of medicine, and in something so personal as a facelift it is certainly a quality to be sure you have on your side.
