Credit : depositphotosAccording to research reported in Psychology Today, 56 percent of women are dissatisfied with their overall appearance. That naturally drives the cosmetic surgery industry as women are increasingly seeking out ways to battle the hands of time and stay looking young and fresh. A facelift is an option for many women and is one of many ways to smooth fine lines and wrinkles on the face and take some years off. There are many great reasons to consider a thread lift, a specialized facelift that doesn't require surgery and has very little down time. Keep reading to find out what they are.
Boosts Self Confidence
One of the most common reasons to consider a facelift is that it can boost confidence and self-esteem. When you don't like what you see in the mirror, it can make you feel bad about your entire appearance. However, making changes to the way you look so that you like what you see can make you feel better. There are many benefits to a healthy self-esteem, including positive relationships, the ability to master new skills, higher motivation and a generally happier mood.
Ideal for Most People
A facelift is generally considered a safe procedure for most people. That means you can undergo the treatment at virtually any age and the recovery and downtime is fairly short and easy to manage. Of course, it's best to talk the decision over with a cosmetic surgeon first to make sure you're a good candidate and that it will be safe to have a facelift.
Helps You Look Healthy and Well Rested
As you get older and your skin starts to thin and sag, it can give you a permanent tired appearance. Whether it's dark circles around your eyes or drooping eyelids, a facelift can help smooth the skin, get rid of wrinkles and open up your eyes so that you look well rested and healthier in general. A facelift can't replace a healthy sleep routine, but it can counteract a tired appearance, even when you're getting plenty of rest.
It Works on Your Neck Too
Another reason to choose a facelift over other procedures is that it can also help restore the youth in your neck area. Much like the skin on your face, aging can make the skin on your neck saggy and wrinkled, giving away your age, even if your face looks younger. A facelift pulls the skin in the neck area too, restoring it to its younger years. Unlike dermal fillers, which only target the area where they're being used, a facelift provides overall benefits for your entire face and neck area at the same time.
Helps with Mental Health Problems
People who don't like the way they look often avoid socializing and may feel symptoms of anxiety and depression due to the way they feel about themselves. Both of these mental health conditions can interfere with a healthy life so taking steps to treat them is important. A facelift can help if you're feeling down about your looks but should never replace traditional treatments for anxiety and depression. However, a radical overhaul to your appearance can make you feel better and get you out more. Being around other people boosts mood and helps create a higher quality of life.
Permanent Results
Makeup and other methods of covering up signs of aging on your face only work when you're using them. On the other hand, a facelift provides a more permanent solution that allows you to put your best face forward, makeup or not. This allows you to enjoy life without spending an inordinate amount of time on your looks every day. Once complete, you can help the results of your facelift stick around by eating right, getting enough exercise and taking care of your skin with appropriate skincare products.
A facelift may be just the solution you're looking for to turn back the clock and look and feel younger and fresher. However, it's best to talk the decision over with a cosmetic surgeon first to ensure that it's right for you. Of course, it's also important to follow aftercare directions and continue to take care of your skin and body for the best results.
