Taking care of your skin is an important dedication to your health. That being said, your skin will eventually begin to sag and droop, no matter how diligent you are. While this is a natural part of life, loose skin on the face and neck can be frustrating. That’s why many people choose to have a facelift done to remove the loose skin on their face and neck. However, you may be wondering how long facelifts last. Let’s take a closer look at the longevity of facelifts and why they last as long as they do.
How Long Do They Last?
The results of a facelift will last around ten years before starting to degrade. That being said, a facelift is technically a permanent procedure. A facelift is the removal of loose skin, tightening of skin, lifting of muscle, and tightening of muscle. The work done doesn’t just disappear after ten years. Instead, the aging process will continue to happen. Skin will continue to loosen over time. This happens because of sun damage, muscle loss, and aging.
Skin usually loosens because of a loss of collagen. Collagen is an essential component of the skin. Collagen helps promote skin elasticity, healthy skin, and tightness of your skin. You naturally lose collagen as you age, and things like excessive weight gain or sun damage can further reduce collagen. That being said, a facelift will let your skin will start from a “younger” point. This is why many people will get a mini facelift after 5 to 10 years to upkeep results.
