While our patients will certainly look refreshed, younger, and more rested, their bodies and skin will still continue to age after their facelift. Austin patients will usually be able to enjoy the results of their facelift for years–depending on certain factors.

How Long Does a Facelift Last?
When it comes to a facelift, Austin patients often assume that their results will last forever. Unfortunately, this is not the case since patients will continue to age just as they did before. So how long can patients expect to enjoy the youthful results attained from their facelift? This is another one of those frustrating questions that are difficult or impossible to answer since it depends on so many factors.
Some doctors say that facelift results can last between 8 to 12 years. Others say they can last up to 20 years. Here are some of the factors that can influence how long your results last from your facelift. Austin patients, by the way, will be able to discuss all of these things with Dr. Tjelmeland during their consultation.
- Smoking – Smoking makes your skin age faster. It also makes your skin thinner and less elastic. It also slows down healing.
- Genetics – If you got lucky with good genes, then your facelift results may last longer. Look at your parents and grandparents to see how they aged, and that might give you an idea of how you will too.
- Sunlight – The UV rays in sunlight can cause incredible damage to your skin. Always wear sunscreen and protect your skin to make sure your facelift results last longer.
