They're 3D, longer-lasting, and might just raise a few eyebrows.
The new year's plastic surgery trends are also an extension of injectable trends, to some extent. Patients who are used to tweaking their face with Botox or filler may be looking for more long-lasting or aesthetically different results. "Right now, the biggest fear that most people have about doing cosmetic treatments, whether it's surgical or nonsurgical, is looking unnatural," says, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Chicago and Los Angeles.
But to some extent, a facelift is a facelift is a facelift — and by that we mean, it's still surgery and not a walk in the park . But with less lifting to do, the recovery time is shorter. Instead of two weeks of swelling and bruising, "I can often get somebody back in the public eye in a week," says Dr. Few. A little bit of laxity typically comes back after five to 10 years, which is less than the 10-year window of a traditional lift that involves more pulling and tightening.
And there's more at play with these early facelift adopters: A facelift in a patient's 40s or 50s is typically just one part of a whole future program, observes Dr. Few: "It's similar to scheduled maintenance for a car." The goal of getting a facelift earlier is to have less of that maintenance — and less expense — in the long run. "The attitude is, ‘I want to limit my use of fillers and so I want to get a lift,’" says Dr. Few.
But, all trends aside, finding a good surgeon is always key and that means staying miles away from anyone shilling on Instagram. "A facelift is the least-standardized procedure between physicians — each surgeon tailors individual aspects of it to each patient and the surgeon's own aesthetic — so it really matters who you go to," says Dr. Teitelbaum. "There are some people who try more aggressively to restore or create a younger look at the price of looking 'done.
