We are a nation obsessed with beauty and youth and we put much value and emphasis on our looks. This could be why cosmetic face surgery is such a popular procedure in our culture. It’s not just for the rich and famous anymore.
Facelift surgery, also known as Rhytidectomy, helps to reverse the signs of aging by lifting sagging jowls and eyelids, removing excess fatty deposits from under the eyes and chin, and smooths out creases and wrinkles.
It is important to understand that face lift surgery will only help to make you look more alert, refreshed/rested and maybe a bit younger. Facelift surgery won’t dramatically change your appearance or stop you from aging. It is very important that you discuss your expectations with your surgeon before undergoing any surgery.
Keep in mind that all surgery comes with risks and side effects. These include infections, nerve damage, scarring, hair loss and swelling. It is also possible to have slightly un-symmetrical features after surgery. These risks should also be discussed with your surgeon.
You may be wondering what a cosmetic facelift surgery runs. The combination of a surgeons fees, facility fee, and anesthesia fee costs between $7,000 – $18,000 depending on the extent of the procedure. It’s for that reason that many people combine plastic surgery procedures (like a nose job) with a facelift so that the anesthesia fee and site fee are only paid once.
Alternative to Facelift: If you are looking for a safer, less costly alternative to look younger and to lift your facial features, there is an excellent way you can take control of your aging face at home for almost no money at all….by performing Face Exercises.
Just like your body, your face needs exercise to stay toned and firm. People who regularly exercise their face usually look much younger, happier, and well rested than those of the same age who don’t exercise their face.
Face Exercises are a completely natural approach that improves the amount of oxygen and nutrients you skin cells receive. Over time facial exercises improve your complexion, skin color, and skin moisture. They also iron away wrinkles, leaving a younger looking you. In other words, face exercises are an excellent alternative to a cosmetic surgery facelift and is no where near as costly, and is much safer too.
