Should You Improve Your Skin before Getting a
Facelift?

• You have a facelift surgery scheduled in a few
  months to help restore a more youthful
  appearance. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, reduces
  the signs of aging by addressing sagging skin and
  jowls as well as deep facial folds and wrinkles.
• But, what about other skin issues, such as brown
  spots, sun damage, fine lines, or lost facial
  volume? Will skin treatments before a facelift be
  beneficial to your overall appearance and
  recovery, or are you better off waiting until
  after your facelift procedure?
• While not every surgeon will give you the same
  answer, there are benefits to both options.

Healthy Skin Contributes to Positive Facelift
Outcomes

• Good general health and healthy skin contribute
  to a good outcome when it comes to facelift
  surgery. When it comes to your skin, things like
  smoking, many years of overexposure to the sun,
  or poor dietary habits can often result in loose
  skin and can affect the outcome of a facelift
  procedure.
• As you prepare for your facelift surgery, it is
  recommended that you do everything you can to get
  your body and skin in optimal shape. This
  includes quitting smoking, eating a healthy and
  well-balanced diet and drinking plenty of water.
  This can also include various treatments to treat
  skin concerns like sun damage.

Will Skin Treatments Make a Difference Before a
Facelift?

• When considering pre-facelift skin treatments,
  you should evaluate your facial concerns. A
  facelift addresses issues such as sagging skin,
  but not other concerns such as sun damage or fine
  lines. Addressing these conditions with
  treatments such as micro needling or chemical
  peels can enhance your overall facial appearance.
• In addition, some plastic surgeons suggest these
  treatments to prep your skin for surgery.
  Treatments such as these help stimulate the
  skins blood supply and collagen production,
  which can aid in healing after your facelift
  procedure.

What About Skin Treatments After a Facelift?

• While skin treatments before a facelift have
  their benefits, there is also an argument for
  them after you have healed from your facelift.
• While addressing many concerns such as sun damage
  and fine lines, many skin treatments also address
  scarring.
• If you have a scar from your facelift that
  doesnt heal as you had hoped, there are skin
  treatment options to help minimize scarring.
