Why Are Millennials Skipping Ahead to Facelifts?

When you think of cosmetic surgery and facelifts, the first thing that comes to mind is often women over 50 looking to minimize the signs of aging and restore a more youthful appearance. While this is still the case, plastic surgery trends are changing for millennials.

Rather than waiting for the signs of aging to appear, many millennials are instead turning to facelifts and mini facelifts in order to prevent the early signs of aging and maintain their youthful appearance.

Nonsurgical Options No Longer Providing Results

While many millennials still turn to noninvasive facial procedures, such as BOTOX, dermal fillers and facial threading, others are finding that these procedures are not delivering the results they really want. These treatments can offer some benefits, but they’ll never be able to match the results achievable through plastic surgery.

Early Facelifts Keep the Signs of Aging at Bay

While you may not always notice it, skin laxity typically begins in your 30s. While this loose skin may not yet contribute to the classic signs of aging, such as jowls or marionette lines, as long as you have at least one centimeter of pinchable lax skin in the lower portion of your face, you may be a good candidate for a facelift. This is why some millennials are choosing to have a facelift or mini facelift in order to tighten the skin and maintain their youthful appearance for longer.
