A facelift addresses the mid to lower face and neck. It will not correct sagging eyebrows, eyelids or reduce wrinkles around the eyes or forehead. It can, however, be combined with other procedures to address these areas.
Although a facelift is likely to succeed in ‘turning back the clock’ it cannot stop it. Your face will continue to age as normal. The results of the procedure depend on many individual factors and your surgeon will discuss these with you in detail and let you know what can realistically be achieved.
Smoking and sun exposure accelerate the ageing process. This means the beneficial effects of a facelift may be lost earlier.
