How long does a facelift last?

Every case varies.

One of the benefits of a facelift is softening the jowls of the jaw line and elevation of the cheeks. A facelift also reduces the creases between the side of the nose and corner of the mouth, removes and tightens loose and wrinkled skin, and elevates the cheeks back into a more youthful position.

Typically a facelift can last 10 to 15 years. In addition to a facelift, a skin care regimen to maintain your optimum results will often be designed specifically tailored to each patient. A skin care regimen will keep your skin looking beautiful for many years to come, and will extend the effectiveness of your facelift to its maximum potential.

Lower facelifts cannot stop the aging process, but they can give you a more youthful appearance.
