The results of a forehead lift are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying the benefits for 10 to 15 years or more. The longevity of the results depends on various factors, including the surgical technique used, your skin type, lifestyle choices, and the natural ageing process.
Factors That Influence the Longevity of a Forehead Lift
- Surgical Technique:The method used by your surgeon can impact how long the results last. At iQonic, our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure optimal and long-lasting outcomes. For example, endoscopic brow lifts, which involve smaller incisions, are known for delivering durable results with minimal scarring.
- Skin Type and Elasticity:Your skin type and its natural elasticity play a significant role in the longevity of your results. Patients with good skin elasticity tend to experience longer-lasting effects. However, those with thinner or less elastic skin may notice changes sooner as the skin naturally ages.
- Age at the Time of Surgery:The age at which you undergo the procedure can also influence how long the results last. Younger patients typically enjoy longer-lasting results, as their skin has better elasticity and fewer signs of ageing. However, older patients still benefit significantly, though the results may be affected by the existing extent of skin laxity.
- Lifestyle Choices:Your lifestyle choices can have a major impact on the durability of your forehead lift. Factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and alcohol consumption can accelerate the ageing process and shorten the lifespan of your results. Protecting your skin from the sun, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are essential to prolonging the benefits of your surgery.
- Post-Surgery Care:Adhering to the post-surgery care instructions provided by your surgeon is crucial for achieving long-lasting results. Proper care during the recovery period, including following guidelines on skincare, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments, will help ensure that your results last as long as possible.
To enhance and prolong the effects of a forehead lift, many patients choose to combine it with other cosmetic procedures, such as eyelid surgery, facelift, or non-surgical treatments like Botox or dermal fillers. Combining treatments can address multiple areas of the face and provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation, helping you maintain your youthful appearance for even longer.
