In this blog, we’ll take you through everything you want to know, so that you can make your decisions with wisdom and empowerment on the steps in your aesthetic journey.
What Is Face Lifting and Why Is It Done?
Face lifting, also called rhytidectomy, is a beautification technique for lifting and tightening facial tissues that have begun to sag. It is also used to remove the visible signs of aging in the face and neck by building on the skin behind the ears and suturing under the chin. This is done by tightening muscles and fascia on top of the incision to give a visibly smoother and slimmer appearance over time.
Basically, a facelift is a surgical technique that seeks to reduce some of the wrinkles and blemishes on the neck and face associated with aging, and aside from helping to define the details of the face to look younger, it also helps to restore its balance. As someone who desires natural-looking enhancement, you deserve more than just quick fixes.
From tiny touch-ups, carefully crafted one cut at a time, to major restructuring, face-lifting is something you can wear with pride and confidence. All the while with a refreshed look and ready to take on the world again! This is where The Aesculpir jumps into the picture, our goal is not to change what you are, but to uncover a revitalized and bold you.
Is Face Lifting Permanent?
Let’s be real, we all want long-lasting results, don’t we? And you might ask whether the results of the facelifting procedure are permanent or not? The answer is not quite yes, but it’s stunningly durable. A surgical facelift does not halt the natural aging process, but it can turn back the clock by several years and keep you looking rejuvenated for many years to come.
Consider it an investment in yourself, one that keeps paying you dividends. If you keep up a healthy lifestyle and are careful with your skin care, you’ll reap the rewards long into the future and will feel proud every time you see yourself in the mirror.
With Dr. Diksha Dixit and Dr. Heena Kudyar, our professional plastic surgeons at The Aesculpir execute face-lifting plastic procedures with efficient, durable, and natural results. They tighten deep tissue in the deeper layer of your skin, not just on the surface, making your results last longer.
Types of Face Lifting Procedures and Their Longevity
Depending on what goals you are pursuing, the structure and condition of your skin will determine which of several types of procedures is best suited for you. We believe that your facelift should be as individualized as you are. Each one carries different effects and lasting timespans, so here’s a closer look at what’s on offer.
-
Traditional Surgical Face Lift (Rhytidectomy)
This is the most comprehensive option for redefining your jawline, lifting sagging cheeks, and tightening the neck. It targets deep tissues and not just the skin, which makes results look more natural and last much longer. With minimum maintenance, typically, patients can enjoy those results for as long as ten years.
- Longevity: Up to 10 years
- Perfect for: Deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and significant volume loss.
-
Mini Face Lift
If you’re looking for a subtle yet noticeable improvement, a mini lift targets the mid-face and jawline. It involves smaller incisions and a faster recovery time, making it suitable for younger clients or those with early signs of aging.
- Longevity: Around 5 years
- Perfect for: Early aging signs, mild sagging
-
Thread Lift
This minimally invasive technique lifts sagging skin using dissolvable threads. It is an ideal choice if you aren’t quite ready for surgery but want a lifted, youthful appearance. The effect is immediate but temporary.
- Longevity: 1–2 years
- Perfect for: Mild sagging, quick refresh
-
Non-Surgical Face Lifting
Procedures such as Ultherapy and radiofrequency (RF) therapy use heat to promote collagen production, and the skin becomes gradually tighter.
- Longevity: 12–18 months with repeat sessions
- Perfect for: Fine lines, skin laxity, no downtime
At the Aesculpir, Dr. Diksha Dixit and Dr. Heena Kudyar offer personalized consultation, taking into account your goals and lifestyle, and showing you the best way forward. It doesn’t matter if you are ready for surgery or want touchups; we are here to help you fix everything you want so that you feel confident again.
What Affects the Duration of Face Lifting Results?
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for even the best face-lifting surgery. There are several key aspects that determine how long your effects will last. Being aware of these elements enables you to set reasonable expectations along the road and make wiser judgments so that you can know how long it will take you to see the results of your facelift surgery.
-
Your Skin Quality and Age
The younger and firmer your skin is, the longer you will enjoy that lift. If, however, your skin has lost a lot of collagen or you have had significant sun exposure over time, then even amazing results may not last very long at all.
-
Type of Face Lifting Procedure
Surgical facelifts last a lot longer than non-surgical options because they involve advanced technological intervention procedures that fix the skin from the deep layers and give long-lasting and better results than any other non-surgical options available. If you are looking for a permanent change, go for a traditional facelift by a competent plastic surgeon like Dr. Diksha Dixit or Dr. Heena Kudyar at The Aesculpir.
-
Lifestyle Habits Post-Procedure
What you do after the surgery is what matters a lot. New behaviors could make your results last longer or cut them short:
- Sun exposure: Accelerates aging; always wear sunscreen.
- Smoking: Affects skin healing and elasticity
- Diet and hydration: Keep your skin firm and radiant
- Skincare routine: Maintain collagen and skin health
-
Genetics and Facial Structure
Genetics plays a big role. Some people age more gracefully than others because of their bone structure, skin type, or levels of collagen. With high cheekbones and better bone definition, you can maintain the positive results of a lift longer. Genetic predisposition to sagging or loss of volume can also determine what happens with that skin over time after surgery.
When you choose The Aesculpir, it’s not just about an operation but also an individualized beauty plan that is good for the long haul. At the hands of those most trusted in plastic surgery in India, Dr. Diksha Dixit and Dr. Heena Kudyar, you receive not only a procedure, but a transforming experience suited to your individual beauty goals.
How to Make Your Face Lift Results Last Longer?
You’ve made the brave leap toward a more youthful appearance, now let’s keep it moving forward. Even though a facelift already provides dramatic results, your post-op diligence can greatly prolong its reach. Here’s what you can do so you look fresh longer.
-
Stick to a Medical-Grade Skincare Routine
Use skincare products that are medically formulated and recommended by your surgeon. These are recommended to keep your skin firm and maintain the level of collagen. Use products rich in retinoids, peptides ,and antioxidants for quick healing times as well as long-lasting effects.
-
Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable
Avoiding SPF will not do the task of healing your skin. It has long been known that UV rays account for the majority of skin aging we observe today in our society. Always use high-quality sunscreen, preferably broad-spectrum (with an SPF of at least 30), and you should reapply it every two hours if outdoors, to give effective protection from sun damage to your skin.
-
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
What you put into your body reflects on your skin. Focus on:
- Balanced nutrition: Especially foods rich in collagen, vitamins A, C, and E
- Regular hydration: Keeps skin plump and elastic
- No smoking or excess alcohol: Both break down collagen faster
-
Schedule Follow-Up Treatments
After a facelift, treatments such as radiofrequency therapy, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing can help preserve the results of your operation. In fact, the collagen production that these non-surgical treatments promote will reduce fine lines and improve skin texture. Regular visits will enable early signs of aging to be dealt with and allow you to recover the benefits from your primary time at any co
