Over time, the skin and underlying tissues of your face naturally lose firmness and structure. While non-surgical treatments like injectables and skin tightening can offer subtle improvements, there may come a point when a Facelift is the most effective way to restore a more youthful appearance. At Center for Beauty in Louisville, Double Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sean Maguire helps patients determine when it’s the right time to consider this procedure.
Here are some of the most common signs that may indicate you’re ready for a Facelift:
1. You’ve Noticed Sagging in the Lower Face or Jawline
Lax skin around your jawline (often referred to as “jowls”) is one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of aging. A Facelift can smooth these contours and restore a firmer, more defined jawline.
2. Deep Lines and Folds Don’t Respond to Fillers
Smile lines, marionette lines, and creases between your nose and mouth may initially respond well to dermal fillers. However, if these lines deepen and fillers no longer produce satisfying results, surgical lifting may be a more lasting solution.
3. Your Skin Has Lost Its Elasticity
Skin that once bounced back easily may start to appear loose, thin, or crepey. If firming creams and tightening devices are no longer helping, a Facelift may offer a more dramatic and long-term improvement.
4. Your Neck Appears Loose or Full
A Facelift is often paired with a Neck Lift for a smoother, more complete rejuvenation. If you frequently notice that your neck is aging faster than your face, it may be beneficial to address both areas together.
5. You’re Looking for More Lasting Results
While non-surgical treatments can temporarily enhance your appearance, a Facelift offers more comprehensive and longer-lasting improvement. Many patients turn to surgery when they want to reduce ongoing maintenance and achieve noticeable changes with a single procedure.
6. You Feel Like You Look Older Than You Feel
One of the most compelling reasons patients choose a Facelift is to align their outward appearance with how vibrant and energetic they still feel. Dr. Maguire tailors each procedure to ensure results look natural and age appropriate.
