13 Sep I Want a Facelift – But For How Long Will It Last?
Skin quality and genetics are two important variables in the longevity of a facelift. However, the technique and skill of the surgeon are also important factors affecting how long your facelift will endure. You can typically expect your facelift to last, in the best scenario, over 10 years. But people, who have an amazing first facelift, rarely need to come in for a second procedure or touch-up.
Factors That Impact Facelifts
There are many factors that may help with the longevity of your facelift. Some are genetic related, others environmental.
- The age you are at the time of the procedure will help determine how long it will last. A person with younger skin will have more elasticity in the skin than that of a patient with older skin (45yrs vs 75 yrs).
- Do you smoke?
- Do you spend a lot of time in the sun?
- Do you spend a lot of time in a crowded, high traffic city?
Many of these factors can determine the longevity of your facelift.
