Debunking 4 of the Most Common Facelift Misconceptions
FACELIFT NORTHERN VIRGINIA
A facelift in Northern Virginia continues to be the gold standard for rejuvenating skin and achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Despite this fact, there are still a number of misconceptions about facelifts that could cause some patients to feel hesitant about undergoing the procedure.
In order to help you make a well informed decision, continue reading as we debunk 4 of the most common facelift misconceptions.
4 OF THE MOST COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT FACELIFTS
1. ALL PLASTIC SURGEONS ARE EQUALLY-QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED
While many plastic surgeons in the DC area offer facelifts, not all of them are board-certified specialists, with advanced training and extensive experience, like Dr. Rostami and Dr. Naz.
That’s why it is extremely important to research a surgeon’s credentials and qualifications, assess before and after photos, and schedule a thorough consultation before undergoing a facelift or any type of cosmetic procedure.
2. FACELIFTS MAKE YOU LOOK ARTIFICIAL
This is one of the most common misconceptions about facelifts and couldn’t be further from the truth.
In the hands of a highly skilled plastic surgeon, a facelift rejuvenates tissue, lifts skin, repositions fat, removes excess skin, and tightens underlying muscles to produce extremely natural-looking outcomes.
This is especially true when all aspects of the individual’s unique anatomy are taken into account to create a customized surgical plan.
3. BOTOX AND FILLERS CAN PROVIDE THE SAME EFFECTS
While Botox and dermal fillers are able to temporarily smooth wrinkles and restore volume, they cannot produce results that are as long-lasting and dramatic as a facelift.
4. FACELIFTS CAN ACCELERATE THE AGING PROCESS
Facelifts are able to reverse many signs of aging to improve facial definition and achieve smoother skin. As such, they certainly do not speed up the aging process.
That being said, a facelift cannot stop a person from aging entirely.
That’s why it’s a good idea to work closely with your plastic surgeon to develop strategies, including a skincare regimen and noninvasive treatments, that can help you enjoy your facelift results for many years to come.
