Consider the Benefits of Getting a Facelift

plastic surgery Lubbock

Your identity as an individual begins with your face, and if aging takes a toll on your face and gives you a worn out or tired look, it can also take a toll on your confidence levels. While there are many benefits of a facelift plastic surgery, Lubbock surgeon Dr. Rowley knows that beyond restoring a more natural and youthful look, this surgery allows your personality and confidence to radiate from your face as you enjoy the years to come.

Some of the benefits of a facelift include:

Repairing loose skin

Aging causes the elasticity in the skin to relax leading to that saggy-skin appearance we see over time. A facelift can carefully trim and tighten the skin on the face to restore the youthful and natural look you desire. This process should not overly tighten the skin, causing a “pulled” look to the face, but simply lift.

Tightening facial muscles

The superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (SMAS), or in other words the underlying structures of your face, will also loosen and sag due to weakness from aging. While trimming and lifting skin during this plastic surgery, Lubbock surgeon Dr. Rowley will first tighten and correct this underlying structure to support a more pleasing configuration. This restructuring will also help reduce the strain on your skin over time and results of the procedure will last longer.

Improving facial contours

A facelift will restore youth to your neck, cheeks, and eyes and give you a more attractive jawline. This surgery can be paired with other procedures as well like liposuction in the neck or jowl area to turn back the clock on this incredibly important part of your identity–your face.

Top Reasons to Getting a Facelift

As we get older, time and gravity aren’t always kind to our skin of our faces and give us a tired, old appearance. Both men and women will start to notice less definition around their neck and chin areas. Your face can become more droopy and tired looking. Sometimes deep wrinkles will appear around our noses or mouths. Dr. Jane Rowley is an expert in the area of facelifts with the goal to help people in Lubbock have a more youthful look but maintain a natural appearance.

  • Improves the Appearance of Muscle Tone and Skin Elasticity

Over time, your skin and muscles lose their elasticity and tone. This sagging appearance can make you look and feel old and tired. Tightening the skin and the superficial muscle layer under the skin helps to restore a younger-looking appearance.

  • Improves Facial Wrinkles and Deep Creases Around Mouth and Nose

You have some non-surgical options intended to smooth out wrinkles on your face. But, some wrinkles are too deep and can only adequately be helped with a facelift. This procedure is the gold star treatment for deep creases and wrinkles that form because of muscle tone loss and saggy skin.

  • Improves Definition in Neck and Chin

The sagging in your face continues to your chin and neck. A facelift can also target your neck and chin giving your face a more sculpted look. Tightening the skin on your neck and taking away the excess fat in the area of your jowls provides you with a more defined neck and chin.

The overall appearance of your face, chin, and neck is lifted with better skin and muscle tone to give you a younger-looking appearance. When considering a facelift for the right reasons, you can have an improved self-image leading to greater confidence. You can expect the results of a facelift to last 5-10 years.

Increased Popularity of Arm Lifts in Lubbock

Society seems to be increasing its obsession with staying young and looking as good as possible. In Lubbock, you can also see a growing emphasis on being healthy which includes weight loss. The extreme at the other end of the spectrum is the growing rate of obesity in America. When weight gain gets out of control and beyond the help of diet and exercise, some people are turning to more drastic measures to lose significant amounts of weight. When weight has been high then is quickly lost, the body will have stretched skin that hangs and sags. Not just weight loss can cause your upper arms to sag. Excess skin can become loose as a result of age and heredity. Brachioplasty, or an arm lift, can have a dramatic effect on the right patient to tone and reshape the upper arms.

Are You a Good Candidate?

If you are bothered by excess, saggy skin that causes you to be self-conscious of showing your arms, you can consider an arm lift procedure. Patients should be in overall good health and be able to tolerate anesthesia before considering surgery. Since smoking inhibits your healing, you should make sure you have stopped smoking before you schedule your surgery.

What to Expect in Recovery

Arm lifts will take less time in the operating room than a more extensive surgery like breast augmentation. The procedure takes about one hour on an outpatient basis. Patients usually have compression bandages on for about two weeks and can expect to resume regular activities in about seven days.

The Results

People are worried about the extent of scarring from an arm lift. Finding a highly skilled, board certified plastic surgeon will always give you better results. The placement of the incision, the skill of your doctor, and the neatness of the closure will have an effect on the amount of scarring.  Even with subtle changes in your arms, your body can have an overall look of being more slender and younger.
Breast augmentation is still one of the most popular plastic surgery choices. But, arm lift procedures are becoming more common. Dr. Jane Rowley is the board certified surgeon who will carefully listen to your surgical goals and make a plastic surgery plan to fit your individual circumstance.
