Benefits of a Facelift

    HOUSTON, TX, January 30, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Since the introduction of BOTOX Cosmetic, nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments have exploded. They have become the most popular option for people seeking to rejuvenate their appearance, and have led to a significant decline in the popularity of facelifts. However, in recent years the trend has been reversing. People have come to realize that a facelift has certain benefits no nonsurgical treatment can match.

Nothing Does What a Facelift Does

There is currently no nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedure that can accomplish what a facelift can. Facial aging is a complicated process, and one of the symptoms is the sagging of facial tissues. If you want to elevate those facial tissues, there is no other option than a facelift. A facelift can treat:

- Jowls
- Sagging skin in the neck
- Loose or excess facial skin
- Certain facial folds and deep wrinkles

Nonsurgical treatments that claim to be able to treat these symptoms of facial aging tend to be unsuccessful.

Longevity

No nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatments last as long as a facelift. How long does a facelift last? There are no reliable figures, but most surgeons use the figure of ten years as a rough estimate. However, a recent survey of facelift patients an average of 12.6 years after surgery showed that 69% believed they still looked ten years or more younger as a result of the procedure, which means that the results of a facelift are likely significantly longer than ten years.

By comparison, BOTOX Cosmetic results tend to last 3-4 months. No facial filler lasts more than 2 years, and the only one that lasts much more than a year, Sculptra, takes several months to actually show results in the first place.

Facial Harmony

Most nonsurgical facial treatments (with the exception of skin resurfacing) are targeted to specific treatment areas. This can lead to a face that seems to be one age in some places and a different age elsewhere. A facelift, on the other hand, rejuvenates the entire face as a single, unified whole, creating facial harmony. A facelift can rejuvenate your face while preserving the aspects of your appearance that are characteristic of you.

Most facelift patients find that the benefits of a facelift more than outweigh the costs and disadvantages. In fact, facelifts have a much higher satisfaction rate than any of the competing nonsurgical procedures.
