It has been debated among plastic surgeons for many years as to how much younger apatient looks after facial rejuvenation surgery.
A group of plastic surgeons recently set out to answer this question. This study included 54 women and 6 men, ages 45 to 72. They all underwent cosmetic facial rejuvenation surgery. The study revealed that those who underwent face-lift and necklift surgery alone, looked an average of 5.7 year younger.
By adding eyelid surgery, another 2 years were gained. Adding a brow-lift, another year. People who had all four procedures on average looked 8.4 years younger. All the procedures were performed by the same plastic surgeon.
Facial rejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment (or series of cosmetic treatments), which aims to restore a youthful appearance to the human face. Facial rejuvenation can be achieved through either surgical and/or non-surgical options.
Procedures can vary in invasiveness and depth of treatment. Surgical procedures can restore facial symmetry through targeted procedures and facial restructuring and skin alterations. Non-surgical procedures can target specific depths of facial structures and treat localized facial concerns such as wrinkles, skin laxity, hyper-pigmentation and scars.
