Myths
About Face and Neck Lifts
| 1.
Once you've had a facelift, you have to
keep on having them. |
|
False.
A facelift
can make you look five or ten years
younger, and that improvement is permanent.
That means that if you happen to be
55 now, and look 45 after surgery, you
will continue to look ten years younger
as the years pass. Many people have
second operations when they again reach
a point that they look older than they
feel. Surgery can not stop you from
aging, but it can help you look much
better for your age.

| 2.
Facelifts leave your skin looking stretched
and unnatural. |
|
False.
When
facelifts were done twenty years ago,
they often resulted in that stretched
look. The advanced techniques used today
at NYU never produce this result. The
result we strive for is a natural and
unoperated look.
|
| 3.
Facelifts are for old people. |
| False.
Facelifts
are for anyone, man or woman, old or young,
who would like to look younger. Many people
ask, "When am I ready for a facelift?"
The answer is whenever you are dissatisfied
with something along your jawline or neck
that looks droopy, lumpy, or poorly defined.
A facelift done at 45 will allow you that
much longer to enjoy the results of your
surgery. We will assess your features
carefully during our first consultation
and talk to you in detail about what face
and neck lifts can and can not do for
you. |
