"Bargain shopping" can be tempting to a patient wishing
to get a facelift for less, but the increased chance of risk complications
alone should convince a patient to properly and carefully research
and choose the most qualified
plastic surgeon. In addition to risking your life for a cosmetic
procedure when visiting an under qualified surgeon, you are also
trading the experience necessary to achieve optimal aesthetic results,
a reason for cosmetic surgery to begin with.

| Cosmetic surgery has found itself in the news more
and more as improvements in surgical techniques and a growing acceptance
of the procedures have allowed a more openness and less of a stigma
amongst Americans. A survey conducted found four out of five American
women would not be embarrassed if people knew they had plastic surgery,

An ideal candidate for any type of plastic surgery, including a
facelift, understands the limitations the surgical procedure has.
The facelift candidate should understand why they wish to have a
facelift, what their goals are, and what they expect the final outcome
of the facelift surgery to be. An individual who is unrealistic
about the expectations they think they can attain through a facelift
or who lack a strong self-image is not an ideal candidate for a
facelift. Someone who has just had a major life crisis or transition
is also not a good facelift candidate because the individual may
be trying to overcome or move on with a certain aspect of their
life through the means of altering their physical appearance.
The majority of ideal facelift patients has a strong self-image
but possesses a physical trait or characteristic that they wish
to improve. Some people have been born with some type of a physical
defect that has increasingly made the patient more and more self-conscious
and can start to affect a healthy self-image over time. Getting
a facelift can sometimes dramatically improve the way an individual
feels. Common motivations for facelifts are:
- To look as young on the outside as an individual may feel.
- Wishing to maintain a young and healthy appearance, often times
motivated by one's profession.
- Unhappy with loose skin, wrinkles, excess fatty tissue, a loss
of defined jaw line, or has developed a deep line running from
the corner of their nose to the corner of their mouth.
It has been shown that any cosmetic surgery candidates that have
undergone procedures for the purposes of doing it for someone else
end up feeling much greater levels of disappointment and dissatisfied
with the results. Although certain plastic surgery procedures, including
a facelift, can greatly improve one's self-image, it should not
be used strictly for those intentions. When used properly, a facelift
can encourage a stronger self-image by allowing a small change on
the outside to drastically change how an individual feels on the
inside.

As people age, the natural aging process, in combination
with a lot of other factors like previous sun exposure, smoking, environmental
influence, and other things can speed up the aging process that shows
in the form of sagging skin and wrinkles. To restore the appearance
of youth, some people opt to undergo the cosmetic surgical procedure
called a facelift. For people with deep wrinkles, loose skin, excess
fatty tissue in the neck area, the loss of a defined jaw line, or
the deep line running from the corner of the nose to the corners of
the mouth, a facelift can drastically improve the appearance by smoothing
out the skin and the fatty deposits in certain areas of the face and
neck.
