An interesting question

Facial rejuvenation by facelift if one of the most powerful tools we have as plastic surgeons.  But there are a lot of factors that first determine the initial result then determine the longevity of the result.

Initially how ptotic and face is, especially the neck, and what the quality of the skin is like plays a significant role in the acute outcome.  Often these factors are due to genetics, diet, weight, sun damage and skin care.  So these factors come into play again as you continue to age after the facelift.  If you maintain good health and diet as well as a good skin care routine you should not expect to need a revision for 7-10 years.
