Even though there are several anti-aging cosmetic treatments available, plastic surgery is often the best treatment when you're dealing with sagging skin. There may come a point when cosmetic treatments won't give the results you want, and then it's time to consider surgery. Here are some types of anti-aging plastic surgery you may want to help you have a more youthful appearance.
1. Facelift
A facelift tightens and lifts your mid and lower face to get rid of sagging that comes along with aging and facial fat loss. A facelift can be combined with a forehead lift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery to give your entire face a younger appearance. Your plastic surgeon wants to understand your goals so they can choose the type of lift surgery that delivers the improvements you want.
Everyone ages differently, and you may find your main concern is drooping upper eyelids. You may only need eyelid surgery to open your eye area, but if you have sagging along your jowls too, you may need eyelid surgery along with a facelift.
2. Neck Lift
The neck area also shows signs of aging. You may have noticed changes to your neck before you saw changes to your face. If you have sagging in your neck, a neck lift could be the best solution. The doctor can remove excess skin, tighten tissues, and reshape your neck so it looks more like it did in your youth.
3. Breast Lift
Breasts naturally droop with age as skin gets lax due to loss of collagen. Plus, if you've been through pregnancy and breastfeeding, your breast drooping may be more pronounced. Even if you're happy with the size of your breasts, you may not like their shape.
Plastic surgery to lift your breasts may involve repositioning your nipple and removing excess skin. The exact procedure depends on how badly your breasts sag. You may need a breast augmentation at the same time to maintain the size of your breasts or to enlarge them if you have volume loss too. This might entail putting in implants or doing a fat transfer from another part of your body.
4. Buttocks Lift
Another area of your body that gets saggy with age is your buttocks. If you exercise, but still can't get the shape you like, talk to your surgeon about doing a buttocks lift to restore the shape of your buttocks so you feel more confident wearing clingy clothing and a swimsuit.
Plastic surgery can help you feel better about your appearance, especially if you still feel young but your sagging skin makes you look older. The surgery won't stop the aging process, so sagging may return at some point, but until then, you can enjoy a more youthful face, neck, and body.
