What Happens During a Consultation?
During your facelift consultation, you’ll get one-on-one time to discuss your treatment goals and plan out your ImageLift™ Facelift procedure. Your Care Advisor will evaluate your facial anatomy to develop a personalized treatment plan and provide treatment recommendations. They’ll then explain exactly what you can expect leading up to, during, and after your surgery. This is a great time to ask any questions or bring up any concerns you may have about your ImageLift™ Facelift.
How Long Do Facelifts Last?
There are a lot of variables that contribute to the longevity of a facelift, including how you take care of yourself, general health, genetics, skin care, weight gain/weight loss, stress, etc.
What is the Right Age for an ImageLift™ Facelift?
Oftentimes, patients are concerned that they are either starting too early or waiting too long to start their cosmetic treatments. Generally, if you’re pulling your skin back along your jawline and like what you see, you could probably benefit from one of our ImageLift™ treatments regardless of your age.
Are ImageLift™ Facelift Incisions Noticeable?
Our ImageLifts have 3 total incision points. For each ear there is an incision that runs along the tragus, under the earlobe, and behind the ear. The last incision is located just under the chin. These placements ensure that your incisions are well hidden.
