Not long ago, a facelift was considered by many to be reserved for movie stars and celebrities. Today, a facelift is not just for the rich and famous. More and more people are realizing that a face lift is the perfect way to bolster sagging self esteem and most importantly, finally let your outside appearance match your inside feelings. And it is fast becoming one of the most well-accepted and most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the world.

“The middle aged people in today’s times are readily opting for cosmetic procedures like face lift to look young and are not shying away from going under the knife” says Dr Ruchika from Indicure. According to her, healthy men and women aged 40 to 70 who have noticeable signs of aging around their face and neck are the most common people seeking facial rejuvenation.

Over time exposure to the sun, fluctuations in weight, genetics and many other factors like smoking and exposure to pollution express their effect in the appearance of our face. Facial skin gets loosened, wrinkles and furrows develop, and the muscles of the neck, jowls, and forehead get weakened with age.

Technically known as a rhytidectomy, the process can help reverse the effects of age, gravity, genetics and sun damage, among others. Face lift is among the most popular plastic surgery procedures, and the most likely to turn back the clock on the visible signs of aging.

A face lift surgery helps in improving sagging facial skin, jowls, and loose neck skin by removing excess fat, tightening muscles and redraping skin. The duration of results is for several years and sometimes even permanent.

An important question mostly arising in the minds of people planning for face lift surgery is how to determine whether they are good candidates for the same or not.
Dr Ruchika from Indicure says “If you feel that your face looks excessively old or tired, due to sagging, drooping, excessive facial creases, or a slack jaw and neck line, or if you have loose skin, wrinkles, or excess fatty tissue in the neck, deep line that runs from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth, deep wrinkles in the cheeks, and sagging skin near the cheekbones or do not have a well defined jaw line you are a good candidate for the face lift surgery”
