Do running and weight lifting impact longevity of facelift results?

I had a deep plane facelift and a necklift procedure a year ago m. - 40 year-old male. I regularly go to gym, weight lift and run. I am worried that repetitive downward movements when running and use of neck muscles when lifting weight started to slightly relaxed tightness of my face muscles and skin and negatively impact longevity of facelift results. Are my worries valid and do running and weight lifting impact longevity of facelift results?

It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but your lower lids don't look like they have droopiness or fat hernation so I don't know what a lower bleph would do. Fat transfer would be a good idea, though, to help fill the tear trough as well as other areas of volume loss in the face. A deep...

Thank you for your question and photos. It looks like you had a good result from your surgery, particularly with the neck banding, but it is important to realize a facelift will not stop the aging process, it simply resets the tissue which has already descended. Depending on the technique,...

Yes, having had a corset platysmaplasty and submental liposuction 11 years ago does not automatically disqualify you from being a candidate for a deep plane facelift and neck lift. In fact, an 11-year interval is significant, and most tissues have long since healed and revascularized. Surgeons...

The carotid artery supplies blood to the majority of head and neck structures including the brain. A deep plane facelift does not, in and of itself, pose a risk to the carotids BUT a stenotic (narrowed) or occluded artery pose a high risk to your overall health. The occlusion is typically from...

Hi, thank you for your question. A facelift alone is not sufficient to correct facial asymmetry, especially when the asymmetry is dynamic and related to muscle movement. A facelift focuses on repositioning skin and soft tissue, but it does not change muscle function. Dynamic asymmetries can only...
