How Long Does a Facelift Last?

Learn How to Maximize Your Investment

As we get along in years, it is natural to be on the lookout for ways of maintaining vitality and a youthful appearance. As a result, it's not uncommon for people to turn to facelift surgery to maintain their appearance. But have you ever considered how long a facelift surgery lasts? Is it a 'one and done' procedure, or will you need to get another one again in the future?

What Are the Benefits of a Facelift?

Most facelift candidates undergo a facelift to minimize the visible signs of aging on their neck and face. The benefits of facelifts are numerous; these are some of the key ones:

Long-Lasting Results

A facelift will not prohibit the natural aging process, but the results of a facelift can last a long time (up to 10 years). The reason for this lies in the procedure, which addresses the underlying structures leading to longer-lasting improvements compared to non-surgical treatments.

Customizable Procedure

Facelifts are different for everyone; the procedure can be tailored to meet your individual specifications and desired outcomes.

Rejuvenation of the Overall Facial Appearance

Facelifts can address multiple signs of aging, such as reducing the appearance of wrinkles, deep creases, skin that has lost firmness, and loss of volume, as well as elasticity. This results in a more refreshed and youthful look.

Facelift Results: How Long Will They Last?

The natural process of aging is inevitable, and although a facelift can provide long-lasting results, it is important to acknowledge that as time goes on, the effects of aging and gravity will gradually affect the results of the facelift.

That said, many facelift candidates continue to look younger even years after their facelift procedure. On average, the results of a facelift can last up to 10 years, but your age, skin quality, lifestyle, and the facelift technique used by your surgeon are all factors that affect longevity.

Get The Most Out Of Your Facelift

Choose a Skilled and Reputable Surgeon

In the field of facelift surgery, it's essential to be cautious as not everyone is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. To ensure the best results, it's recommended to thoroughly research and choose a reputable facelift surgeon with a history of successful procedures.

A Healthy Lifestyle Goes A Long Way

Leading a healthy lifestyle will help optimize the results of your facelift. Eat well, exercise often, reduce alcohol intake, and have a healthy sleeping pattern to promote overall skin health.

Protect Your Skin From The Sun

Excessive sun exposure will adversely affect the results of your facelift. One of the best things you can do for your facelift's lifespan is to be very uncompromising about using sunscreen on a daily basis all year round.

Maintain A Healthy Skincare Regimen

It's best to invest in good skincare products and to have a good daily skincare regimen. Additionally, consult with a professional to create a personalized routine for your specific skin type.

Consider Complementary Treatments

Surgeons may suggest additional treatments such as BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM to enhance the effects of a facelift and reduce wrinkles.


Additional Factors

The longevity of facelift results depends on genetics, lifestyle choices, and skincare routine. Although the results can last for years, remember that aging is natural and inevitable.
