For those looking to erase signs of aging, facial rejuvenation procedures can look enticing. This blog discusses two popular facial rejuvenation options: the deep plane facelift and the thread lift. We go over the benefits of each and why surgical options have longer-lasting benefits.
Searching for a Solution to Halt Aging Signs?
Most everyone wants to look good, no matter their age, but the simple truth is that there are more challenges to looking good as one ages. Growing older comes with new experiences, challenges, and memories. When signs of aging inevitably start creeping in, many people want to find a solution to stop them. It can be difficult to feel like your face is slowly changing in ways you dislike, especially when you think those aging signs make you look older than you really are. When wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin develop, many are eager to try whatever they can to reverse them.
With so many facial rejuvenation options available, it can be difficult to make an informed decision about what is best for you. The question on many patient’s minds is: surgical or non-surgical? With so many non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments, these can be an appealing option for those who are not ready or comfortable committing to a surgical procedure. On the other hand, the youthful results from facial surgery procedures are often unmatched. The best facial rejuvenation treatment for each patient will depend on their areas of concern and aesthetic goals.
Facial Rejuvenation Options: Facelift vs. Thread Lift
When it comes to facial rejuvenation, many patients are looking for skin tightening, firming, smoothing, and contouring. Some may want dramatic results, while others want subtle improvements in their skin’s appearance.
People often seek facial rejuvenation once aging signs start to form, as it’s nearly impossible to hide one’s face in daily life. While other body areas can easily be covered up with clothing, the face is typically fully visible. Two popular facial rejuvenation treatments are the deep plane facelift and thread lift.
Deep Plane Facelift
A facelift can provide transformative results for patients who want to correct signs of aging in the mid and lower facial areas. Dr. Lee uses the deep plane facelift method to adjust the underlying facial tissues and muscles and tighten the skin to eliminate sagging. A deep plane facelift can improve skin elasticity and muscle tone and remove sagging jowls, leaving you with smoother, youthful-looking facial contours.
Thread Lift
In recent years, thread lifts have gained popularity as one of the first minimally invasive skin tightening procedures. A thread lift involves temporary sutures that stitch up targeted areas of the skin, resulting in a lifted and tighter skin look. This procedure also works as a catalyst for the body’s collagen production to increase, further improving the appearance of the skin.
Why Should You Choose a Facelift with Dr. Lee?
With options like the thread lift and deep plane facelift, many patients want to know which one will be best for them. While there are benefits to both options, it is important to note that surgery is often the best option for long-term, dramatic results.
A facelift smooths out wrinkles and lines and eliminates sagging. A thread lift can temporarily tighten the skin, but it does not provide the level of correction that a facelift does, and it doesn’t do anything to smooth the surface of the skin. People who are looking for full facial rejuvenation that has long-lasting results may be good candidates for facelift surgery.
It’s beneficial to seek out the expertise of a facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Harrison H. Lee, who has years of proven results and demonstrated skill. Dr. Lee works with you every step of the way to tailor your facelift procedure to meet your facial rejuvenation goals.
