There are many times we arrive at a turning point as we age. One of those is when we believe we reach a stage at which our appearance no longer matches our exuberance for life, or does not reveal our true energy and force. There are many paths to take at that point. It all depends on your beauty philosophy and stage of grace in aging.
If you are an advocate for a little intervention, you have options. These include fillers, neuromodulators (as Botox and Xeomin), thermal devices as lasers, and plastic surgery. If you experience sagging skin of the face and neck, a facelift may be beneficial to help rejuvenate your appearance and lift your spirits. This operation is expensive (and you're worth it!), both in terms of time and cost. Nevertheless, a surgical facelift is a time-tested, tried and true, reliable operation that delivers desirable results that last years.
However, the field of plastic surgery continues to innovate to offer patients more options for their time, preference and budget.
If a surgical facelift is not an option for you, you may be a candidate for a thread lift. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses sutures (or "threads") to help subtly lift sagging skin of the face. Benefits over a traditional facelift include reduced downtime and barely perceptible, minimal scarring.
Recovery from a thread lift is shorter, and the procedure is relatively no-risk. Results are admirable and may last up to three years. The ideal candidate is aged 45-60 and has mild to moderate skin laxity or skin sagging. The procedure may be performed in an office setting and can be combined with other procedures.
