You must have noticed significant changes in your face by the time you reach your late 40s, crow’s feet deepening, slight sagging to your jowl, or maybe even a bit of double chin. While facials, Botox, and fillers can help manage some signs of ageing, there is a time at which they simply won’t work. Hence, this is when many people begin to think of a Facelift in Bangalore.

Is 50 Too Old for a Facelift?

There are no age restrictions on a facelift. Skin’s elasticity and health are the key factors. As per many plastic surgeons, facelifts done in the 40s provide longer-lasting results than those done in their 50s. If you are relatively well and have a reasonable view on the outcomes, a facelift done earlier than age 50 is worth a thought.

Facelift or Mini Facelift- Which one to choose?

The standard facelift entails lifting muscles of the face, moving fat, and removing excessive skin to regain lost youthful appearance. Mini or endoscopic facelifts are less invasive procedures aimed at mild skin sagging with acceptable skin elasticity. If done early, the chances of optimum results are higher.

Areas Where Facelift is Performed

• Forehead-To smoothen deep lines and lift sagging skin, with scars hidden far beyond the hairline.
• Eyes– The first area to age. Blepharoplasty or “eyelid surgery” removes droopy skin and opens the eyes, leaving the rest.
• Cheeks- Volume restoration to sunken cheeks lifts the face and softens deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
• Jowls- Define a youthful jawline by correcting sagging skin.
• Neck- A neck lift will often accompany a facelift to tighten loose skin and double chin, and rejuvenate the lower face.

Why Consider a Facelift Before 50?

As skin quality and collagen levels decline, one can go for an early facelift. Better elasticity at a younger age means longer-lasting results- often over ten years. Hence, touch-ups with minimal injectable fillers may be all that is required afterward.

Some swelling, numbness, and discomfort will occur after surgery at first and will gradually improve. After surgery the surgeon suggests discontinuing smoking and ensuring a good lifestyle to promote healing.

A facelift before the age of 50 is not about looking “different”; it is about looking like a fresher, younger version of yourself. If everything goes well, you could attain natural-looking results with the help of a good and cosmetic surgeon in Bangalore, Dr. Sandhya Balasubramanyan. She can help you rebuild your confidence and help you feel youthful on the outside as you are on the inside.
