Well-executed Facelift benefits for life

How long does a facelift last? What factors determine how long a facelift will last?

Patients who have well executed facelifts will benefit from them for life. This does not mean that the features are frozen in time, just that the aging appearace is ratcheded back a decade or so. 

Obviously, the initial magnitude of benefit will be dependent upon the surgeon, the technique, the quality of the patient's skin, and other variables.  Most "lesser" lifts are poor substitutes for a well-executed thorough operation.

The vast majority of patients who have facelifts do so only once in their lives. Too many repetitions yield unnatural unanimated faces.
