Facelift Maintenance Tips
It’s inevitable, as you get older your face will change. If you have become unhappy or uncomfortable with your appearance because of visible signs of aging, a facelift will help. The benefits of facelifts include removing years from your facial skin and tightening your facial muscles.
After you have received a facelift, you are probably wondering how to maintain your new look? Follow the tips below to increase the longevity of your facelift.
- Maintain a healthy diet. Have you ever heard the saying you are what you eat? There is truth to that sentiment because what you put in your body will show up in your skin. It is important to maintain a healthy diet filled with foods that are rich in nutrients. Eat dark, leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean meat. Be sure to eat foods that have antioxidants.
- Stop smoking. Patients undergoing plastic surgery are advised to stop smoking for a few weeks before and after the surgery. If they can and want to achieve longer lasting results, they should stop smoking altogether. Smoking delays the healing process and can result in skin tissue death. In addition, smoking accelerates the aging process.
- Wear sunscreen. The sun breaks down skin’s elasticity and cause brown spots. Prior to surgery, it is very important to wear sunscreen. This will help reduce swelling and discoloration.
