How many time in whole life can I have face lift and still look natural? I see lot of people get addicted to having face lift and ended up looking like monster.but they don't realized they look like that. Most of full face lift seems last maximum 10years , and if I continue having face lift every 10years . How many time is maximum that I still look natural and scar doesn't look bad?
Answer: How many Facelift Procedures can I have? The best thing about Facelift procedures are that you can have as many as you need. A typical facelift will last 7-12 years. But, there are patients who benefit from a "tuck-up" procedure earlier. A typical Facelift involves tightening and supporting the SMAS layer which will result in a natural and lasting result. The Lifestyle Lift Company recently closed its doors as a result of poor outcomes secondary to facelifts being performed without proper suspension and tightening of the the SMAS layer. This is one of the most important and critical aspects of facelifting procedures.Some very reputable facial plastic surgeons have suggested that all patients undergo a "tuck-up" facelift about 12 months after their facelift. I do not feel this is necessary in most cases. However, we do agree that certain patients who lack great anatomy, who have poor elasticity, or have significant sun damage do in fact benefit from these minor tuck-up procedures.Facelifts are now commonly performed under local anesthesia so that performing facelifts more frequently is not risky and an be performed safely.

Answer: Facelifts Can Be Performed Every Decade The unnatural look you are referring to can arise from poor technique on the part of the facial plastic surgeon, a loss of volume in the patient's midface that could be easily corrected by performing a fat graft during surgery, or a psychological affliction such as body dysmorphia that compels the patient to undergo surgery again and again – even though it's not needed.

Answer: Most patients should have no more than two facelifts. A well executed facelift should last many many years. Occasionally a revision needs to be done. Almost never is a third facelift required.

Answer: How many facelifts Good question and sure to get a variety of answers. One poorly performed facelift can ruin your whole day and set the stage for more difficult revisions later. However, a good surgeon can do multiple facelifts on a person because they are properly performed. More importantly, it is not necessary to keep repeating the same procedure as there are intermediate procedures which can "tuck-up" the result and reinforce the original result. Find yourself a competent surgeon who you trust and relate well with and follow their advice. Many of my patients have been with me over 30 years and the dialogue between Dr. and patient is critical to good decisions.

Answer: How many time in whole life can I have facelift ? The short answer is as many as you feel you need. But the real issue is that it depends on how the facelift was done, and especially on the incision design. Most of the unnatural looks are created by poor incision design and placement. The incision should not cause hair loss (or shifting of the hairline) at the temple/ side-burn area or hair loss of the hairline behind your ears. You never want to have your ear change it's shape or position especially around the earlobe and the area in front of the ear. And you don't want to see visible thick scarring. All of this will make you look altered/ operated, and limit future surgery options. Consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon and discuss these issues.
