Many people hesitate to get a facelift because they worry about looking “too pulled” or “too catwoman” after surgery. Plastic surgery reality shows present facelifts that require hospitalization, general anesthesia, and long and painful healing periods. Typically, the traditional facelift requires more than 4 hours to perform and 4 weeks for healing. It also requires extensive bandages and dangling drains. The widespread bruising and swelling make it uncomfortable for many people to leave their homes for weeks.
The duration of the results are variable and are highly dependent on the individual. If the patient has a healthy lifestyle, follows a good diet, exercises regularly and refrains from cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol, the results can last for more than 10 years.
In today’s world, people want a younger looking face but don’t want to take significant time away from their busy schedule. Most people lead very active lives and are reluctant to sit at home and wait for weeks until their face heals.
