Top tips for maintaining facelift results
The key to maintaining facelift results is to take good care of your skin. The following top tips will help you look younger and more refreshed in the long term.
Smoking can contribute significantly to the ageing process, and we would recommend stopping smoking sooner rather than later. Not only will your skin show improvement, but your heart and lung health will also benefit. Stopping smoking will help your skin regain its natural elasticity and tone. Smokers will be asked to stop smoking at least six weeks before and after facelift surgery, as smoking can increase the risk of impaired wound healing, which may lead to wound breakdown or wound infection. Having a facelift could be the ideal opportunity to quit smoking for good.
Maintaining a consistent home skincare routine with medical-grade skincare products is vital. Having a good skincare routine before facelift surgery may help the tailor the procedure to your needs and requirements, and you should certainly practice good skincare after the procedure. Here at Centre for Surgery, our aesthetic practitioners use high-quality cosmeceutical skincare products and will advise you on the best ones to use both before and after your procedure. Many products are specifically designed for patients who have undergone facial rejuvenation surgery.

Avoiding excessive exposure cannot be emphasised enough. Regardless of your skincare routine, be sure to apply appropriate sunscreen to your face if you plan to go out in public soon after your facelift procedure. You should wear sunscreen SPF 30 or higher, as this helps to protect the skin from the unwanted effects of UV radiation.
Although being out in the sun can help to enhance emotional well-being, the skin is susceptible to the effects of strong sunlight. It can have a impact and cause skin dehydration. Dehydrated skin is more likely to develop fine lines and wrinkles. Hyperpigmentation, including age spots, is also more common in individuals who spend a significant amount of time in the sun. The risk of skin cancer increases significantly, with melanoma having high incidence rates in sun worshippers. You should also bear in mind that applying sunscreen is not just something to be considered in the summer months. UV radiation and sun damage can occur at any time of the year, so it is best to be liberal with applying sunscreen.

Foods rich in zinc, such as nuts, can help maintain a smooth skin texture. C-containing foods include many types of citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons, and can help strengthen the immune system. Vitamin E is commonly found in many kinds of seeds and has properties, which help to protect the skin from damage. Berries are also rich in and will help reduce the impact of skin damage over time.
