When do lines and wrinkles first appear?

Fine lines and wrinkles are among the earliest signs of facial aging for most men and women. Depending on your genetics, lifestyle, skin type, and other factors, you are likely to begin noticing lines and wrinkles in your 30s or 40s. Some risk factors for developing early signs of facial aging include:

• Genetics
• Smoking
• Poor diet
• Sun exposure
• Inconsistent skin care routine

Once lines, wrinkles, and loose skin become noticeable and escape the control of topical products, many patients turn to cosmetic treatments and procedures to restore smoother, firmer, more youthful skin. Some of the most popular nonsurgical treatments for combating the signs of aging include:

• Injectable wrinkle relaxers
• Injectable dermal fillers
• Microneedling
• Chemical peels
• HydraFacial®

However, patients with moderate to advanced signs of aging may benefit more from a surgical procedure.

What is a VIP facelift?

The VIP facelift in Oklahoma City is a custom-tailored facial rejuvenation procedure designed to address each patient’s unique face. Based on the nature and severity of your concerns, your desired outcome, and other personal factors, Dr. Sawan will formulate an individualized surgical plan that best meets your needs. VIP facelift surgery often includes one or more of the following:

• Muscle tightening
• Excess skin removal
• Fat grafting/fat transfer
• Injectables

Dr. Sawan may also recommend the addition of an eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or another procedure to further enhance your VIP facelift results.

What’s the youngest age for facelift surgery?

Because everyone experiences facial aging at different rates, there is no “best” age for facelift surgery. In some cases, a facelift can be used to reverse advanced signs of aging for men and women in their 60s and 70s. For younger patients, a facelift can still be useful for addressing early to moderate symptoms as well as delaying the progression of facial aging.

Depending on your age and the severity of your concerns, a VIP facelift may be performed using one of the following approaches:

• Full facelift
• Mid-facelift
• Lower facelift
• Mini facelift

Oftentimes, the full facelift is reserved for older patients with deep lines, wrinkles, and hanging skin, while the mini facelift may be more appropriate for younger men and women with more isolated concerns on the lower face. During your initial consultation for facelift surgery in Oklahoma City, Dr. Sawan will thoroughly examine your concerns, discuss your goals at length, and recommend the most fitting type of facelift for you.
