12 Oct Don’t Miss Out on Prime Time for a Facelift
Facelifts have long been one of the most-requested plastic surgeries, and there’s never been a better time to enhance your looks and boost your confidence. Business has been booming in the plastic surgery world in the past few months thanks to COVID-19, and it’s no different at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. There are a number of reasons why more and more Americans are opting for cosmetic surgeries like a facelift, so let’s take a look at a few of the top reasons.
Are you tired of staring at your face in Zoom meetings? You’re not alone and that’s a big reason many people are considering plastic surgery. Regardless of selfie culture, now is actually the time when most people are seeing their face more than ever. If you’ve noticed yourself opting for Zoom modes where you don’t have to see your face or have taken note of lines, wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging you hadn’t seen before, a facelift might help.
What Does a Facelift Do?
Many people are understandably confused about what exactly a facelift does, so let’s break it down. A facelift exclusively addresses sagging and lax skin on the lower half of the face (below the eyes) and the neck. A neck lift is almost always part of a facelift. There are traditional full facelifts and mini facelifts, and you can probably guess at the difference. A mini facelift is not as aggressive, the incisions are smaller (which means a little faster healing time), and it’s usually reserved for younger patients.
But what about those wrinkles around the eyes or on the brow? This is where a holistic, comprehensive approach to cosmetic surgery and skin care comes into play. It’s very common to pair a facelift with skin care treatments like chemical peels or microneedling. Around the eyes is where many of us first notice the signs of aging, but if you’ve been inspired to learn more about cosmetic surgery because of Zoom meetings you may have noticed aging throughout the entire face. Parson Skin Center offers a variety of non-surgical treatments to complement the more aggressive facelift.
You’ll Never Have a Better Opportunity to Heal
Zoom meetings are just one reason why facelifts have skyrocketed in popularity. Many people have also realized they will never have a better timeframe to recover. You’re (hopefully) not traveling for business or leisure right now, and nobody will question you if you hunker down and don’t leave your home for a few days. Simply put, if you’re practicing social distancing and only leaving the house for necessities as recommended, why not take advantage of this time and indulge in some self-care?
Of course, for those who opt for facial plastic surgery right now you’re still at the mercy of virtual meetings and occasional outings while you heal. The good news is that most facial plastic surgeries actually heal relatively quickly—you’ll look close to “normal” just a week or two after a facelift. And if you want to be even more discreet, those masks that cover half your face provide an excellent “cover” while you continue to heal. Some patients are making use of the last of the good summer weather to Zoom outdoors with a mask on so that others on the call won’t question why they’re a little more covered than usual.
