Aging gracefully is often easier said than done. While drugstore creams and serums can provide short-term results, they rarely work for signs of aging like sagging neck skin, loose jowls, and facial volume loss. At Maglic Plastic Surgery, we believe everyone deserves to feel great about the way they look. Dr. Dino Maglic is proud to offer facelift surgery to help patients achieve a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Below, our team covers some common signs you may be ready for this life-changing procedure. Whether you're interested in a mini facelift or have questions such as, "How long does a facelift last?", we're here to help you navigate the process. Call now to book a consultation in Draper, UT, and get started.

How does a facelift work?

A facelift can address one or more signs of aging in the face and neck. During the procedure, Dr. Maglic will make small incisions near the hairline and ears to remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and reposition fat deposits.

Did you know that not all facelifts are the same? Some address the entire face, while others focus on targeted areas like the neck or cheeks. For those seeking subtle improvements, the mini facelift involves smaller incisions and provides a less invasive solution. On the other hand, a full facelift may be needed for more significant changes or to address multiple areas.

Is it time for you to consider a facelift?

There are a few signs that indicate it may be time to consider a facelift in Draper, UT. These include:

  • Over-the-counter products no longer provide results: If you've been using various skin care products but are still not satisfied with your appearance, a facelift may be the next step.
  • Significant sagging or deep wrinkles: As we age, our skin loses elasticity and sags. This can result in loose jowls, drooping cheeks, and prominent wrinkles. A facelift can tighten and smooth out these areas for a more youthful look.
  • Facial volume loss: Another common sign of aging is a loss of overall facial volume. You may experience hollowed-out cheeks and temples that make you appear sad or tired. Facelift surgery can redistribute fat deposits to restore fullness to the face.
  • Neck laxity: Sagging neck skin, also known as "turkey neck," is a common concern for many people. A facelift can include a neck lift to tighten and smooth the skin in this area, resulting in a more defined jawline.

How long does a facelift last?

Cosmetic surgery is far more effective and longer lasting than creams or serums. But, how long does a facelift last? The good news is that you can expect refreshed results anywhere from 5 – 15 years, based on your age and skin care routine. It also depends on whether you get a mini facelift or a full (traditional) facelift. While a mini procedure may last for around five years, a traditional facelift can last for ten years or more.
