No One Needs To Know You've Had Work Done

In the past, the philosophy regarding facial cosmetic surgery was to wait until the signs of old age were dramatic before seeking correction. It was quite common for women and men to wait until their late 50's and beyond to restore their more youthful looking face. Facelifts were approached as a full correction with very distinctly noticeable results.

With years of clinical research, advanced technology and techniques the philosophy and approach to facial cosmetic surgery has changed dramatically. Now everyone can be a part of the elite, ageless society which was only reserved to the super wealthy and Hollywood types. It is now much more common for women and men to consult with a facial cosmetic surgeon about options for treatments in their early forties.

By choosing cosmetic surgery early rather than later

You will experience a wonderful improvement in your skin's appearance because the underlying muscles are in good shape. While each case is different it is fair to say that someone in their forties can easily erase ten years or more with a minimally invasive mini facelift.

Since the amount of correction needed is so little, less invasive techniques are utilized. The results are incredibly natural looking. Your family and friends will compliment your beautiful appearance without ever thinking you had “work” done.

The healing process will be much faster, which means less time

off work.

Two of the most commonly requested procedures by women and men in this younger age group are forehead and/or brow lifts and mini facelifts. An endoscopic forehead and brow lift is particularly popular because involves a smaller incision, no general anesthesia, reduced bruising, quicker recovery time, and less lift. A mini facelift, or otherwise known as a weekend facelift, is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal recovery time. Choosing a skilled surgeon, particularly one specializing in facial cosmetic surgery, is paramount for natural beautiful results.

If you have mild to moderate laxity in the upper or lower part of the face and just want to look like your younger self you may be a good candidate for a mini facelift. Similar to the effects of makeup, it will only enhance your naturally beautiful features.

For men, societal changes have resulted in pressure to maintain your vitality and youthful good looks. A mini facelift will only enhance your features and anyone looking will be none the wiser. Imagine attending a reunion and hearing the phrase, “Wow, he hasn't changed a bit.”
