Consider this before undergoing face upliftment surgery

New Delhi, June 9 After a certain age, our skin starts to sag around cheeks, chin, or neck area. Getting a face-lift could help tighten skin and eliminate harsh lines giving you an overall more youthful appearance. Face-lifts can be scary, especially if they look unnatural or too obvious.

Choosing to undergo a particular type of procedure is no small commitment, and there are many things to consider before making a decision.

Geeta Grewal, Cosmetic Surgeon and Wellness Expert, 9Muses Wellness Clinic, Gurugram, tells life: "Face-lifts are ideal for addressing signs of ageing, tightening excess skin, lifting the corners of your mouth, and removing deep creases. As you age, bone density decreases, leaving you with thinning facial bones. Skin begins to droop on your face, leaving you with an aged appearance. Components of your skin like collagen and elastin also start to diminish, face-lifts work by reshaping the bottom half of the face and lifting the skin."

Before you consider a face-lift, you should make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. A face-lift will not make you look like a different person, but rather it should give you a more rejuvenated and renewed appearance. Being happy with the results of your face-lift begins with having realistic expectations around the procedure. However, one should start taking good care of the skin in their early ages so that one doesn't have to go under the knife.

What types of procedures are available and what should you expect? Grewal answers:

* Liquid Facelift: The liquid facelift uses injectable known as dermal fillers, along with Botox, to help plump up, relax, and fill in the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. It can restore youthful volume to the face, reduce sagging of the skin by filling it up from the inside, and re-contour drooping facial features or hollow eyes. It is one of the latest anti-aging trends in non-invasive cosmetic procedures and is touted as a less expensive and less risky alternative to a traditional facelift. Soft tissue augmentation treatments last from three to 12 months.

* Radiofrequency
