Many patients wonder how to preserve the results of a deep facelift and how long they can last. Therefore, Dr. Tarek Zahra, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, shares some important tips for maintaining the results of a deep facelift using the 5D technique, as well as the factors that affect the longevity of these results.
How long do the results of the 5D facelift last?
Dr. Tarek Zahra offers the 5D Facelift, which achieves amazing results using his unique technique, which works in five dimensions to target the deep layers of the face: skin, fat, muscles, ligaments, and deep tissues, tailored to each patient’s individual needs and goals. The 5D Facelift achieves a younger-looking face that lasts for approximately 10 years, thanks to Dr. Tarek Zahra's development of the details of the Deep Facelift procedure.
However, it's important to maintain these results, as a facelift doesn't prevent natural aging; rather, it delays the appearance of wrinkles and signs of aging. Therefore, maintaining the results is crucial, as certain factors and bad habits can accelerate the reappearance of aging signs.
Key tips to preserve the results of a 5D facelift:
Following post-surgery instructions will help you achieve the best results and avoid complications. Some long-term tips should also be followed to ensure the procedure's results last as long as possible. Some of these tips include:
1- Adherence to post-facelift instructions:
It's important to adhere to recovery instructions, which include proper wound care, taking prescribed medications regularly, and adhering to the recommended sleeping position after surgery. Strenuous activities that increase blood flow to the face should also be avoided to reduce swelling. It's also important to drink adequate amounts of water to maintain skin freshness.
2- Avoiding excessive sun exposure:
Excessive exposure to harmful sun rays causes facial pigmentation and scarring, and it also accelerates the appearance of signs of aging after surgery. Therefore, avoid excessive sun exposure and protect your skin from its harmful rays by:
• Applying sunscreen with an appropriate SPF (sun protection factor).
• Wearing hats and sunglasses when exposed to sunlight.
• Avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours to prevent ultraviolet rays that negatively affect the results of surgery.
3- Commitment to a proper daily skincare routine:
Following a proper skincare routine is one of the most important factors and tips that enhance and preserve the result of a deep facelift and delay the signs of aging.
A skincare routine is tailored to each individual, based on their skin type. Certain cosmetics can also be used to nourish the skin. Laser and peeling sessions can also be performed to stimulate collagen production, thus enhancing the longevity of the surgical results.
4- Avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption:
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can cause severe post-surgical complications, as they impede blood flow to the tissues, negatively impacting the healing process. Alcohol also leads to dehydration and inflammation, while smoking accelerates the signs of aging, negatively impacting the longevity of your facelift results. Therefore, it's essential to avoid smoking and harmful substances during and after your recovery period.
5- Maintaining an ideal weight:
Maintaining an ideal and stable weight contributes to sustainable results from a 5D deep facelift, as facial appearance is significantly affected by weight loss or gain. Therefore, it's important to follow a healthy, balanced diet and engage in regular exercise.
