Facial Rejuvenation for Different Ages: Customizing Your Approach

At some point in our lives, most of us struggle with visible signs of aging. Whether it be fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, or volume loss, the hands of time find us all. But there is a way to address these concerns, and it’s with facial rejuvenation treatments. The most predictable and lasting options are cosmetic surgical procedures.

Let’s take a look at what exactly facial rejuvenation includes and how it can help you look your best.

What is Facial Rejuvenation?

Facial rejuvenation is an overall term that encompasses a variety of cosmetic procedures that address visible signs of facial aging, symmetry issues, and the quality and health of your skin.

What Procedures Are Included in Facial Rejuvenation?

A facelift is likely the first procedure you think of when you hear the terminology “facial rejuvenation,” but it’s much more than that. Facial Rejuvenation can include one or more cosmetic procedures, including:

• Brow lift/Temple Lift
• Neck lift
• Chin augmentation
• Fat transfer
• Upper eyelid surgery
• Lower eyelid surgery

The procedures above are used to address several common complaints, like sagging facial skin, fine lines and wrinkles, recessed chin, volume loss, double chin, puffy eye bags, drooping eyelids, and a number of skin concerns.

Good Candidates for Facial Rejuvenation

When considering facial rejuvenation, it’s important to figure out whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure. During your consultation at Cruise Plastic Surgery, Dr. Cruise will provide a thorough examination of your health history, facial components, and complaints, along with asking questions to determine if surgery is right for you.

Some of the qualifications include:

• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations
• Visible signs of aging or other issues that can be addressed with surgery

 

Different Types of Facial Rejuvenation

There are different facial rejuvenation procedures depending on where your visible signs of aging are. With the help of Dr. Cruise, you can determine the best option for you and your goals.

Upper Face Facial Rejuvenation

Upper facial rejuvenation is often used to tighten sagging skin and smooth wrinkles in the forehead and eye areas. The procedures and treatments used typically include upper or lower eyelid surgery, a temple lift, or a brow lift.

Mid-Face Facial Rejuvenation

Facial rejuvenation for the middle of the face is used to address the cheeks, nose, and surrounding areas.

Volume loss, loose skin, and fine lines and wrinkles around these areas are addressed with fat transfer and/or a facelift surgery. This type of facial rejuvenation can provide you with the natural-looking results you’re looking for.

Lower Face Facial Rejuvenation

As the name suggests, lower-face facial rejuvenation addresses issues in the lower face. This can include concerns like sagging excess skin and fat, fine lines, wrinkles, thin lips, and a recessed chin. 

Depending on what you’re struggling with, a lower-face facial rejuvenation may consist of a facelift, neck lift, chin augmentation, and/or lip augmentation.

It can also balance the overall appearance of the face and give you a more enhanced profile.

Recovery & Results

How long your recovery time is after facial rejuvenation surgery depends greatly on what you have done. If you only have a facelift, it may take less time to recover than if you have a variety of procedures done. That being said, the healing process shouldn’t take more than a few weeks. You will likely have some swelling and bruising in the first week or two after surgery.

Additionally, when you see the results of facial rejuvenation also depends on what you have done. For some procedures, the results show up fairly quickly, while other treatments take time before you see their full impact.
