How Long Does a Facelift Last?
With an attentive skin care routine and healthy lifestyle, the results of a facelift can last for many years. It is also important to note that, in a way, facelift surgery “resets” the clock. Although the natural aging process will continue, patients who have had a facelift should find it possible to always look more youthful at their present age than they would if they had never had the procedure. Dr. Hakki recommends using high-quality sun protection, maintaining a stable weight, eating nutritious foods, and staying adequately hydrated to aid in extending the outcome of facelift surgery.
How Noticeable Are Facelift Scars?
Generally, the incisions for facelift surgery are placed in relatively discreet areas, such as within the hairline, behind the ear, and beneath the chin, so the residual scars upon healing are as concealed as possible. Dr. Hakki is highly skilled in the surgical techniques and artistry required to minimize noticeable scarring and makes every effort to reduce their visibility. Additionally, following post-procedure care instructions to ensure the incisions heal properly can help the scars fade to some extent over time.
How Much Does a Facelift Cost?
The starting cost for a facelift at Luxxery Boutique is $10,000, which typically includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, use of the surgical facility, and follow-up care. Facelift procedures can often be accompanied by other treatments—such as facial fat transfer, brow lift, or eyelid surgery—if additional options have been requested for inclusion in the treatment plan, so the total costs will vary for each patient based on those factors and others. During a free consultation with Dr. Hakki, he will complete a health evaluation and discuss your goals to determine a personalized treatment plan with a detailed estimate of all costs. Our staff can also connect you with dependable healthcare lending companies that can assist qualified applicants with financing options.
Is a Non-Surgical Facelift Possible?
Although effective facial rejuvenation can often be accomplished with non-surgical aesthetic injectable treatments and other skin renewal techniques, the only way to significantly tighten loose facial tissues and sagging skin in the lower area of the face is a surgical facelift. With that said, strategic placement of neuromodulators, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, and dermal fillers, like Restylane® and JUVÉDERM®, can help reduce the signs of aging. Chemical peels and skin needling treatments can also help to diminish signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and other aesthetic concerns for a refreshed, youthful appearance. However, the results will be temporary and ongoing touch-ups will be necessary to maintain the effects. Dr. Hakki will be able to discuss surgical and non-surgical options once you have been evaluated during the initial consultation to determine the treatment plan that can successfully achieve your cosmetic enhancement goals.
