Facelift Before And After Case Studies – Enhancing Your Natural Look

Our facelift before and after case studies are a very useful tool for people considering liposuction or any facial surgery. Dr Lanzer has built up a collection of hundreds of real facelift before and after case studies, so that you may be able to get an idea of what your result may look like. Since the procedure can be performed in many different ways on the lower part of the face and the mid face, and be combined with other procedures, these case studies can be quite interesting. Mostly (except in makeup section) patients are not wearing make-up, which of course enhances every result.

Can I Use Makeup After A Facelift Or Other Facial Rejuvenation Procedures?

For facial rejuvenation procedures such as laser resurfacing, and even treatments that included the removal of excess skin, our beauty therapists will be able to advise you on the makeup and skincare products recommended. One of these products is called Lycogel, which is a ‘pharmaceutical foundation’ especially designed for patients who have had resurfacing to the skin. It is very safe to use, even on skin which has just undergone dermal needling (such as Dermapen). We also have a range of mineral makeup which is also quite suitable to use on recently treated skin.

Our range of skin care products includes cleansers, serums, moisturisers and creams from ‘Osmosis’. This is an exciting new range to the clinic which has outstanding reviews and enhance the results displayed in our facelift before and after case studies.

Good skincare does not solely apply to patients who had a facelift, it also applies to patients who had other treatments such as breast augmentation, lip augmentation, fat transfer, neck lift, and even liposuction. Of course, those who did not have a cosmetic treatment should also take excellent care of their skin.

What Other Non-Surgical Tips Could Enhance The Results Displayed In The Facelift Before And After Case Studies?

Taking care of yourself in general will contribute to the overall result of whatever surgery it is you are having. Hairstyles can definitely enhance one’s appearance and make them look more youthful when it comes to result enhancement post-facelift. Teeth are also a factor, which can contribute to aging, therefore ensuring you maintain your dental health is very important. Teeth whitening can help to make you look fresher and more rejuvenated.

Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise is very important to maintain results you have obtained from a facelift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, laser resurfacing, and particularly if you are undergoing a liposuction procedure. We have a dietitian who can recommend an appropriate dietary intake for you in combination with exercise as well as recommend supplements which will best support your body and facelift results.

Mental beauty is also important, so make sure you take time to look after your levels of stress and anxiety, as these will definitely contribute to pre-mature aging and the long-term results of your facelift.

How Many Years Does Facelift Surgery Take From The Face?

One of the interesting questions that come up after the cosmetic surgery and often before cosmetic surgery is, “How old do I look?” and “How many years have been removed by me having surgery?” When judging a person’s age, Dr Lanzer looks at the skin texture for wrinkling, at the eyelids for heaviness and loss of upper eyelid, at the drooping of the skin particularly seen around the mouth and jowl area, and at the angle of the neck.

In the post-operative photograph, we have intentionally included makeup to point out how makeup can enhance natural results as well as give patients better skin protection. However, makeup cannot cover the aged effects that we have described earlier. In the post-operative photograph one can see that nearly all the lines on the cheeks have gone and the skin is smooth. Makeup would not cover the lines before.

Secondly, one can see her entire upper eyelid, which now could have some eye shadow. Note that the sagging and hooding of the outer eyelid has also mostly resolved. The sagging of the mid-cheek to the upper lip has been improved and she now has a more natural, youthful curve rather than the sagging fold. The jowls are probably most dramatically changed in this lady, as she now has extremely tight neckline and the sagging, drooping and heaviness of the neck has totally been removed. Interestingly, she now no longer has a shadowing effect of her face but rather a shadow under the chin because of the very sharp margin. One can visualise the area in front of the ear and that the scars from the mini face and neck lift surgery are not visible. Makeup certainly can be used to cover those areas.

Are The Results From Facial Rejuvenation Permanent?

A question that could be asked is “How long would she expect these results to last?” Dr Lanzer expects that the eyelid surgery would last her for most of her life, as would the changes on her neck and skin texture. The lifting of the face with the mini facelift can relax in time.

Deciding on a facelift procedure can be a major step for patients, so it could help to get some insight into the procedure and the results that could be obtained from it. On our site, prospective patients can find several before and after photographs taken from patients who had a facelift at The Dr Lanzer Clinic. Even though results obtained from this surgical treatment are unique for each patient, the before and after photos give patients some additional insights into the possibilities before they make their initial appointment.

There are several surgical and non-surgical treatments that could have a rejuvenating effect on the face of the patient and reduce visible signs of ageing, so it is a good idea to discuss your expectations from the procedure with your cosmetic surgeon. Based on your requirements, the surgeon could provide you with the most appropriate treatment and evaluate how that treatment could affect the aesthetics of the face. Of course, the patient needs to be comfortable with his or her surgeon to convey their wishes properly, so it is best to choose a surgeon you are fully comfortable with for your facelift.
