A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging while preserving your natural beauty. When performed by a board-certified surgeon, a facelift can rejuvenate your appearance by addressing loose skin sagging fat and loss of muscle tone, restoring facial volume, and softening the appearance of wrinkles. The result is a refreshed, more youthful look with natural, balanced contours.

## Facelift FAQ

### How long does a facelift last?

Our unique Palmer technique provides long-lasting results, with the average patient enjoying the results of their facelift for about 12 years. Non-surgical facelifts using dermal fillers and other injectables last upwards of 24 months.

### What is a good age for a facelift?

Generally, the recommended age range for a facelift is 40-70 years old, with more comprehensive procedures being recommended for advanced signs of aging. Smoking, genetics, stress, and other lifestyle factors may speed up the aging process, making some individuals consider a facelift earlier.

### Is a facelift better than botox?

Botox or other popular injectables are used to deliver non-surgical facelifts, known as 'liquid facelifts.' While this procedure is suitable for early signs of aging, surgical facelifts deliver more noticeable and long-lasting results.

### How painful is a facelift?

Facelifts are an approximate 6/10 in terms of pain. Dr. Palmer's unique Palmer technique, known as the P.A.L.M.E.R. Lift provides exceptional results and a more pain-free surgical and recovery experience.

### Does insurance cover facelift surgery?

No, insurance typically does not cover facelift surgery as it is considered a cosmetic, elective procedure. However, Palmer Cosmetic Surgery offers a wide array of financing options, available to suit all budgets.
