Well, What About That Facial Lift?

When considering a “lift,” what we are really talking about is some form of tightening the facial skin.

When considering a “lift,” what we are really talking about is some form of tightening the facial skin. Over the years, this has grown to mean in most instances, a “facelift.” Just as the term “facelift” suggests tightening all aspects of the face (the brow, eyelids, cheeks and neck); much of the time something less is what’s really needed.

Whether the decision is to just tighten one area or all of these areas, the “naturalness” of the procedure must be paramount. To have a natural look, the results will not leave the patient looking windblown or as if something was done. The goal is to make whatever change is contemplated to result in a very natural and undone look.

There are many choices. And you may be familiar with terms such as Quick Lift, Mini Lift and Minimally Invasive. What you really need is a lift tailored specifically to your needs. Over the years, these techniques for most cosmetic surgeons have grown less invasive, resulting in less down time, which allows the patient to return to their lifestyle within a week or so. What’s truly important is selecting a surgical procedure that addresses exactly what you need, with scars that are as unnoticeable as possible.

Ask which, if any of these lifts are right for you. In some cases, it’s possible that non-invasive Botox and/or facial fillers may be all that is required. That’s why it’s important to schedule your complimentary consultation with one of our board-certified surgeons by calling 513.791.4440 or visiting www.theplasticsurgerygroup.com.
