How long does a skin-only facelift last?

Hi,

A skin-only facelift typically yields results that last around 2 to 5 years. The exact duration varies depending on factors like skin elasticity, age, lifestyle, and genetics. Since this technique doesn't address deeper facial tissues, the skin is solely responsible for sustaining the lift, which can lead to earlier signs of sagging due to the skin's natural tendency to stretch.

Patients seeking more enduring results might consider procedures that incorporate deeper tissue layers, such as the SMAS or deep plane facelifts, which can extend the longevity of the outcome to 10 years or more.

My comments and recommendations are solely based on your text and are subject to change. I always recommend a face-to-face consultation with a specialist to plan the treatment.

Best wishes, Dr. Surmeli.

Skin only treatments usually do not give long lasting results. If you are going to have a facelift surgery please try to get a deep plane facelift for a long lasting result.
