Choosing to undergo a surgical procedure, such as facelift surgery, is a personal decision, sometimes motivated by a desire to address the effects of ageing. While reasons for exploring these options vary and are unique to each individual, we share some common motivations that bring people to consider undergoing a surgery.

If you are thinking about a cosmetic procedure, it’s important to consult with your GP and a qualified surgeon. Together, they can help assess your suitability for the procedure and provide personalised advice to support informed decision-making based on your unique goals and health needs.

To potentially reduce visible lines and wrinkles

Over time, natural ageing can lead to the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

To potentially address skin laxity

Sun damage, genetics and ageing are the leading causes of loose or excess facial skin that usually occurs below the cheeks and jowls. Patients may seek a facelift to explore ways to potentially address these age-related changes.

To potentially adjust volume 

As we age, one common change in facial structure is the gradual loss of volume. This is due to a natural reduction in fat, muscle, and bone density in certain areas of the face. A facelift repositions the fat in the cheeks and along the jawline to firm and target jowls.

Having realistic expectations and understanding the risks and benefits of the procedure are important factors in making your decision. To determine if you may be a suitable candidate for a facelift, consult with your GP and a qualified surgeon, such as Dr Jack Zoumaras. He will assess your individual concerns and discuss options tailored to your needs and goals. Book a consultation today.
