Increasing trend of Face Lift surgery . .

Not long ago, a facelift was considered by many to be reserved for movie
stars and celebrities. Today, a facelift is not just for the rich and famous.
More and more people are realizing that a face lift is the perfect way to
bolster sagging self esteem and most importantly, finally let your outside
appearance match your inside feelings.

And it is fast becoming one of the most well-accepted and most
frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the world. "The middle
aged people in today's times are readily opting for cosmetic procedures
like face lift to look young and are not shying away from going under the
knife" says Dr Ruchika from Indicure. According to her, healthy men and
women aged 40 to 70 who have noticeable signs of ageing around their
face & neck are the most common people seeking facial rejuvenation.

Over time exposure to the sun, fluctuations in weight, genetics and many
other factors like smoking and exposure to pollution express their effect
in the appearance of our face. Facial skin gets loosened, wrinkles and
furrows develop, and the muscles of the neck, jowls, and forehead get
weakened with age.

Technically known as a rhytidectomy, the process can help reverse
the effects of age, gravity, genetics and sun damage, among others.
Face lift is among the most popular plastic surgery procedures, and
the most likely to turn back the clock on the visible signs of aging.
A face lift surgery helps in improving sagging facial skin, jowls, and
loose neck skin by removing excess fat, tightening muscles & redraping
skin. The duration of results is for several years and sometimes
even permanent.

An important question mostly arising in the minds of people planning
for face lift surgery is how to determine whether they are good candidates
for the same or not. Dr Ruchika from Indicure says "If you feel that your
face looks excessively old or tired, due to sagging, drooping, excessive
facial creases, or a slack jaw and neck line, or if you have loose skin,
wrinkles, or excess fatty tissue in the neck, deep line that runs from
the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth, deep wrinkles in the
cheeks, and sagging skin near the cheekbones or do not have a well
defined jaw line you are a good candidate for the face lift surgery"
