Many people go in for a face lift and are surprised to find out that the face lift will not fix all or some of their wrinkles. When thinking about wrinkles and your facial skin, you must think about a sheet that has been crumpled up in the corner for a couple days. You can stretch and try to flatten that sheet as much as possible without an iron ant the wrinkles will not disappear even when there is a lot of tension. The same concept can be applied to your skin. As we age our skin looses its natural elasticity and can no long full spring back into shape. Wrinkles and sagging become to be more apparent until finally you decide to go in and have a face lift done.

While the larger wrinkles can be smoothed out by the face lift the smaller ones cannot. The reason for this is that the larger wrinkles are not wrinkles at all, but they are more of folds. In general our facial skin floats freely over our fat and muscle cells, but it is attached in certain areas. As our skin ages and loosed elasticity, the parts where it is connected stay in place while the rest simply bulges out giving the appearance of what we commonly call a wrinkle.

The true wrinkles are those fine lines around the mouth and eyes and even the forehead where the skin has more than exceeded it elastic abilities. Not only can wrinkles be present here but also the skin can be cracked and ripped as well. To remove these you can get a chemical peel or other alternative, or you can have your surgeon do a laser resurfacing during the face lift. The laser resurfacing is like sand paper for your facial skin and smooths out the high spots leaving the lower spots. This makes a smooth finish that will eventually grow out even and the redness will disappear.

You cannot remove the wrinkles with a face lift alone, you need to have the :fine wrinkles” attended to since they are the only true wrinkles on our face. Once these have become resurfaced and the skin on your face has been tightened you will look years younger, both physically and mentally.
