How many years does a face plastic surgery lasts?

Facelift is one of the most commonly performed facial plastic surgeries to achieve a rejuvenated appearance. This procedure consists in restructuring skin tissues of the face, through incisions that eliminate excess flaccidity and thus make the skin look firmer. 

Regarding the duration of the results, it is important to understand that lifting does not stop aging, given that skin follows its natural course as the years go by. What this surgery does is keeping the signs of aging out of sight during the time the results last. 

So, how long do the results of the surgery last?

The results of facial plastic surgery last between 8 and 10 years, however, it will depend a lot on certain factors that we are going to discuss here. 

The type of skin has influence on the duration of a facelift surgery

Each person has a different skin type, as there are those who have dry skin, oily skin or mixed skin, as well as those who have thin skin or thick skin. All these factors influence the duration of a face surgery. 

Lifestyle also plays a role in the duration of results.

Lifestyle, such as healthy eating and physical activity, also contribute to long-lasting results from facial surgery. It is also important that this lifestyle includes constant cleansing and moisturizing of the skin. 

It must be taken into account that there are certain habits that can be harmful to the quality of the skin, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. If you want to achieve long-lasting results, better avoid these habits. 

Do not forget that sun exposure is harmful for the skin.

Extended sun exposure is one of the most frequent causes of premature aging of the skin, which means that if you want your face surgery to last long enough, you must avoid spending many hours in the sun and always use sunscreen.
