Face Lift

There are several procedures for face lifting in Singapore, including traditional liquid face lift, Thermage FLX skin tightening, HIFU, Ellanse collagen stimulator and thread lift. The best procedure for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or aesthetic doctor to determine the best procedure for you based on your individual needs and expectations.

The average age at which a woman gets a facelift can vary depending on a number of factors. However, many women in their 40s and 50s are beginning to notice signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume in their face, and may consider a facelift as a way to address these concerns. Some women may opt for a facelift earlier, while others may wait until they are in their 60s or 70s. Ultimately, the best time to consider a facelift is when the individual feels that their appearance is no longer reflective of how they feel inside and wants to improve their appearance.

A facelift can make a person look younger, but the exact amount of years younger is difficult to determine as it depends on the individual’s skin quality, underlying health condition, healing process, and the technique used by the surgeon. A facelift can improve the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume, all of which can make a person look older. However, it’s important to note that facelift is not a fountain of youth and it will not stop the aging process. Also, facelift won’t make you look like you are in your 20s again, but it will definitely help to smooth out wrinkles, jowls and give you a more youthful and rested appearance.

Facelifts are typically performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be asleep during the procedure and will not feel any pain. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, swelling and bruising, which can be managed with pain medication prescribed by your surgeon. Some people report feeling tightness or a pulling sensation in the face and neck, but this should subside as the swelling goes down. Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, but most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within 2-4 weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for yourself during the recovery period and how to minimize any discomfort.

A well-performed facelift can result in a natural-looking appearance. The goal of a facelift is to restore a more youthful, refreshed look rather than creating an artificial or “overdone” appearance.

The key to achieving a natural-looking facelift is to select a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who has a good understanding of facial anatomy and an artistic eye. The surgeon should also be able to understand the patient’s specific concerns and goals and tailor the procedure accordingly.

A natural-looking facelift should restore a more youthful contour to the face and neck while preserving or restoring natural facial expressions and movements. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that facelift will not make you look like you did when you were 20 years old, but it will definitely help to smooth out wrinkles, jowls and give you a more youthful and rested appearance.

There is no set limit on how many times a person can have a facelift. The number of times a person can have a facelift depends on the individual’s skin quality, underlying health condition, and their desired outcome. However, it’s important to note that facelift is a major surgery and it’s not recommended to have multiple surgeries in a short period of time.

It’s also important to note that each time a facelift is performed, the skin is stretched and the underlying tissues are manipulated, which can cause scarring and can weaken the skin over time. Therefore, it’s important to have realistic expectations and to consider the long-term effects of multiple facelifts.

Also, a good facelift result should last for a decade or more, but as time goes by, the aging process will continue, and you may consider a revision or a second facelift to maintain or restore the youthful look, but it’s important to wait for the right time, and have enough time in between surgeries to let your skin and body heal properly.

A facelift can make a person look younger. It can improve the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, loss of volume & stimulates collagen which helps to achieve a more youthful look.
Non-invasive face lift treatments also fast procedures without going under the knife and have minimal to no downtime. However, it’s important to note that non-invasive facelifts are not permanent treatments but they can help to slow down the aging process.

Non-invasive facelift such as Thermage FLX skin tightening & Ultherapy lasts for at least 12 months. HIFU & liquid facelift treatments are recommended to do twice a year for best results.
Ellanse collagen stimulator used for specific target areas is able to last from 1- 3 years depending on the brand selected. Face thread lift lasts for 18 months whereby collagen will be stimulated.

Results of non-invasive face lifts are natural-looking. The goal of a facelift is to restore a more natural, youthful & refreshed look. It is still best to talk to our aesthetic doctor to align the goals and expectations of your ideal facelift treatment.

After the procedure, you may experience some swelling, redness or bruising but those will subside in a few days time. Non-invasive facelift has little to no downtime hence most patients are able to return to work and normal activities after treatment.
