A Facelift is Still the Facial Rejuvenation Gold Standard

FACELIFT NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Thanks to technological advancements, we now have a multitude of ways to combat signs of aging, including lasers, RF skin tightening, Botox, and dermal fillers. Although many of these options are nonsurgical, patients continue to choose facelift for a fully harmonious facial rejuvenation.

DO I REALLY NEED SURGERY FOR FACIAL REJUVENATION?

With so many noninvasive options for facial rejuvenation, many patients wonder if they truly need surgery.

While surgery isn’t right for everyone, it’s worth considering if you have started to notice advanced signs of facial aging, including jowls, sagging skin, and severe wrinkles. That’s because it can repair underlying facial structure in a way that isn’t possible with injectables, like Botox or fillers, lasers, or other energy-based treatments.

Plus, surgery offers patients long-lasting benefits, while noninvasive options are only temporary.

WHY FACELIFT IS STILL THE GOLD STANDARD

There are several reasons why facelift is still the gold standard, including unparalleled results. Patients often choose to have surgery because it removes excess skin and fat to tighten, lift, and reshape the face. It also works beautifully with an autologous fat transfer to restore volume to the midface.

All of these combined benefits provide fully harmonious facial rejuvenation that cannot be matched by any noninvasive techniques, regardless of their technology.

HOW LONG DO SURGICAL RESULTS LAST?

Longevity is one of the main reasons why surgery is still the gold standard. Unlike dermal fillers which only last 6-18 months and require ongoing maintenance, surgical results can be enjoyed for up to 15 years.
