Rhytidectomy (or a face lift) cannot stop the natural process of aging. However, it can camouflage the wear-and-tear that ends up on your face, neck and chin.
As you age, your skin sags. The loss of the firmness of your skin is a breakdown of two agents; collagen and elastin; two substances, that keeps your skin firm. A face lift removes excess skin from your face and neck, leaving you looking more vibrant than before. It will not transport you back to the days of youth and health. You will still have the same body, just a younger face.
Cosmetic surgery usually only been available to the famous or the wealthy, is now available to anyone who pays the price. Adults wanting to appear more attractive, even teenagers who have bought into the hype that “beauty is skin deep” are flocking to plastic surgeons.
Because of this new-found popularity, plastic surgeons are improving their face-lift techniques. One of the new techniques is the Thermage technique. Using radio frequency technology and achieving the same results as a face lift.
Instead of a twenty day recovery period, you have no anesthesia, instant results, and no pain. The Thermage Technique stimulates the collagen in the skin to continue reproducing. Costing substantially less than a face lift; the results can last two years.
In a society where people are served fast foods, and one-hour photos, it is increasingly obvious that not too many people believe in the adage of growing old gracefully.
