Facelift: How Long Does a Facelift Last? | Aesthetic Surgical Images
Plastic surgeons are frequently asked “How long does a facelift last?” The answer to this question really depends upon a lot of different variables. For instance, we know that the surgeon's skill, the patient's genetics, the type of procedure chosen, and lifestyle decisions such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and sun exposure, can all dramatically impact how long these procedures tend to last.
We oftentimes say that as plastic surgeons we set the clock back, but we never totally stop it from ticking. For this reason, if we make somebody look 15 years younger, in 15 years they're going to be back at their original starting point. When we do larger procedures that are more aggressive, it tends to set the clock back further. When we do a total SMAS facelift, it's a more aggressive procedure. Those patients are going to look younger. It's going to take them longer to get back to where they were. When we do a procedure that's maybe not quite as aggressive such as a mini facelift, patients maybe won't look quite as young as they would have otherwise looked with the larger procedure, and it's not going to last quite as long.
It's important that when we perform these procedures that each patient be analyzed on an individual basis. No two patients are ever alike. Their social situations are different. Their genetics are different. The type of procedure that they have is different, and their surgeon's skill is different. As a result of this, it's hard to project going forward how long any procedure is going to last. It's important to realize that in the vast majority of cases, facelifts typically last about ten years. It's also important to remember that that response is variable depending upon all those different factors.
