Facelifts are typically reserved for those in their later years. However, there are special reasons that a young person may consider facelift surgery as well. There are even different types. For example, the mini-facelift is when less invasive incisions are made, If you are noticing your skin beginning to lose volume and sag, you may be a candidate for a personalized facelift.
What is a Facelift?
This is a type of cosmetic surgery in which incisions are made around the scalp and the face and jawline are sculpted. Facelifts can reduce or completely remove wrinkles, and they can be used to change a person’s appearance completely. When combined with other plastic surgery techniques, such as rhinoplasty, unbelievable results can be achieved.
Who is a Good Candidate?
As previously mentioned, facelifts are excellent at removing wrinkles. This means that people 45 and over can benefit. However, it doesn’t mean they are the ideal candidate. While it is true that anyone can reduce wrinkles with a facelift, the surgery itself shines when used to correct the jawline and jowls. In addition to people 45 and older, anyone with an imperfect jawline could benefit from a facelift.
What is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift is just one of the varieties of facelifts. It is when smaller incisions are made around the scalp. A mini may still help with fine lines and wrinkles; however, it won’t be as effective on the jawline and jowls. The mini facelift is less invasive, but it also offers reduced results.
Who is a Good Candidate?
The mini facelifts are reserved for those who only want minor results. The mini facelift is more than capable of reducing wrinkles, so this is ideal for those who are only beginning to show signs of age. Those who are years past middle age and those who have issues with their jawline are better suited for the full, standard facelifts.
