Face Lift: The Best Choice for Youthful Beauty
Everyone desires a youthful, radiant face. But as time passes and age increases, the skin inevitably shows signs of aging—wrinkles, sagging, and uneven texture.
A Face Lift has become one of the most popular procedures for restoring youthfulness and vibrancy to the face.At BLS Surgery Center, our board-certified plastic surgeons offer professional consultation and facelift services to ensure the best possible results.
If you’re wondering where to get a facelift, whether it’s worth the investment, and how long the results last—this article will guide you through the benefits and value of facelift surgery with Dr. Earth, our lead surgeon.
What Is a Face Lift?
A Face Lift is a high-efficacy aesthetic surgery that lifts and tightens facial skin, especially for those with deep wrinkles and sagging.
It not only firms the skin but also visibly rejuvenates the face. There are various facelift techniques tailored to individual concerns:
- Forehead Lift: Reduces expression lines and smooths the forehead
- Brow and Outer Eye Lift: Corrects brow ptosis and drooping outer eyes for a brighter, younger look
- Midface Lift: Lifts sagging cheeks and softens nasolabial folds for a fuller, youthful appearance
- Neck Lift: Tightens sagging neck skin and reduces wrinkles for a smooth neckline
What Does a Face Lift Help With?
A Face Lift is a professional aesthetic procedure that restores youthfulness and firmness to the face.
Here’s what it can do:
- Lift and tighten sagging skin caused by aging or collagen loss
- Reduce wrinkles and deep lines on the forehead, cheeks, and around the mouth
- Correct skin laxity by restructuring deeper layers for long-lasting firmness
- Boost self-confidence through a refreshed, youthful appearance that enhances personal and social interactions

How Long Do Face Lift Results Last?
Generally, Face Lift results last 5–10 years, depending on several factors:
- Age: Younger patients tend to retain results longer due to better skin elasticity
- Skin condition: Well-hydrated, elastic skin prolongs results; sun protection helps maintain skin health
- Post-op care: Following medical advice, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding smoking extend results
- Surgical technique and technology: Advanced methods and experienced surgeons ensure high-quality, long-lasting outcomes
Is a Face Lift Worth It?
Absolutely. A Face Lift is a valuable investment—not only restoring youthfulness but also enhancing confidence and personal image.
A refreshed face boosts self-esteem in all aspects of life—work, social settings, and daily interactions.
It leaves a lasting impression and promotes a healthy, vibrant appearance.
With long-lasting results, a facelift is ideal for those seeking enduring beauty and youthfulness.
You’ll experience a clear, sustainable transformation—not just firmer skin, but renewed confidence in every moment.
Non-Surgical Alternatives to Face Lift (For Mild Sagging)
For those with mild skin laxity who prefer non-surgical options, BLS Surgery Center offers effective alternatives:
BOTOX — Smooth Wrinkles, Look Younger
Botulinum Toxin injections relax facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles—around the eyes, forehead, and nasolabial folds.
BOTOX also subtly lifts the face for a smoother, younger look.
Dermal Fillers — Plump Deep Lines
Hyaluronic Acid fillers restore volume to deep wrinkles and folds, enhancing fullness and youthfulness.
They can also reshape facial features—lips, cheeks—for balanced, dimensional beauty.
Laser — Skin Tightening Technology
Laser treatments stimulate collagen and elastin production, firming the skin and reducing wrinkles without surgery.
They also even out skin tone and fade pigmentation.
Why Is a Face Lift More Worthwhile Than Other Procedures?
When it comes to long-term facial rejuvenation, Face Lift stands out for its effectiveness—especially for significant sagging.
Here’s why it’s more valuable than other treatments:
- Long-lasting results: Unlike BOTOX or fillers that require frequent touch-ups, a facelift lasts 5–10 years, making it a smart long-term investment
- Comprehensive correction: It addresses sagging and wrinkles across the forehead, cheeks, and neck—areas other treatments may not fully cover
- Natural-looking outcomes: Modern techniques deliver youthful results without an over-pulled appearance
- Deep structural improvement: It lifts not just the surface but also deeper layers, ensuring durable and complete rejuvenation
Confidence and quality of life: A firmer, younger face directly enhances self-esteem and overall well-being

Post-Op Maintenance: How to Care for Your Skin After Facelift Surgery
Even though facelift surgery tightens and rejuvenates the face, the natural aging process and gravity continue to affect the skin over time. That’s why post-operative maintenance is just as important as the surgery itself. To help patients maintain their results and enhance skin vitality, BLS Surgery Center recommends five specialized programs from Blossom Clinic:
1. Ultraformer III Program – Non-surgical Continuous Lifting
- Uses HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to tighten skin and stimulate deep collagen
- Prevents future sagging and prolongs facelift results
- No incisions, no downtime
Start time: 1 month post-op, once incisions have healed
2. Botox Program – Smooth Wrinkles, Lock in Lift
- Targets dynamic wrinkles (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet)
- Relaxes facial muscles to prevent new lines
- Enhances and extends facelift results
Start time: 3 months post-op, per doctor’s advice
3. Filler Program – Restore Volume and Facial Balance
- Fills areas not addressed by surgery (under-eye hollows, temples, sunken cheeks)
- Adds fullness and symmetry
- Immediate visible results
Start time: 1–2 months post-op, based on doctor’s evaluation
4. Pico Laser Program – Fade Scars, Even Skin Tone
- Uses Pico Second Laser to break down pigmentation and fade surgical scars
- Ideal for facelift, neck lift, and breast surgery scars
- Reduces redness and prevents hypertrophic scarring
Start time: When incisions are dry (~2 weeks post-op) or 1–3 months depending on skin condition
5. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – Deep Healing with Pure Oxygen
- Accelerates wound healing and reduces inflammation
- Enhances blood circulation and skin immunity
- Ideal for early post-op recovery
Start time: Shortly after surgery, based on doctor’s assessment
Additional Tips for Long-Term Results
- Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen daily
- Use nourishing skincare consistently
- Stay hydrated
- Get adequate sleep and avoid late nights

Frequently Asked Questions About Face Lift
Q: How long is the recovery period?
A: Minimal downtime. Swelling may occur in the first 7 days. Cold compresses and elevated sleeping posture are recommended. Stitches can be removed around day 14.
Q: What are the steps of SMAS deep layer facelift?
A:
- Design incision hidden along the hairline
- Open skin and dissect fat layer
- Tighten the SMAS layer
- Close SMAS and remove excess skin using hidden sutures
Q: Does hiding the scar in the hairline cause hair loss?
A: Rare. Temporary hair shedding (3–5%) may occur but regrows in 3–4 months. Permanent hair loss is extremely rare due to precise surgical technique and magnification tools used at BLS.
Q: How long do SMAS facelift results last?
A: Typically 5–10 years, depending on age, skin condition, and post-op care. Regular follow-ups and maintenance treatments help extend results.
Q: Will the face sag again after facelift?
A: Aging continues, but SMAS tightening delays sagging. With proper technique and maintenance (e.g., sunscreen, Ultraformer III, Botox, Filler), results remain natural and long-lasting.
Q: Can facelift be done without removing excess skin?
A: Yes. For mild sagging, Endoscopic Face Lift (Endo-Face Lift) lifts the SMAS layer through a small 2–3 cm incision hidden in the temple hairline—no visible facial scars.
Q: At Age 40+, Should I Choose a Filler Program or a Face Lift?
A: The Filler Program and Face Lift Surgery are two procedures that share similarities but are not the same.
For patients with mild skin laxity, the Filler Program is suitable.
The principle is to add volume and support the skin, helping it lift and firm.
However, if the laxity becomes more severe—such that filler or laser tightening no longer provides sufficient lift—then Face Lift Surgery may be more appropriate.
A facelift can correct deep-layer sagging, reaching the SMAS layer of the skin, and delivering structural lift that effectively addresses facial laxity.
