Although the facelift has steadily remained one of the leading plastic surgery treatments over the years, it saw some decline in correlation with the rise of non-invasive procedures like dermal fillers. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons now reports that the face lift has made a comeback amongst the baby boomer generation. Does this mean that dermal fillers are on the decline? Not at all. Reports indicate that the face lift is now used in conjunction with non-invasive procedures to improve the total results of the cosmetic procedure.
The jump in face lift surgery was rather large with nearly a 15% increase in the population of people aged forty and older. It's both men and women in this baby boomer generation that are causing the increase. The rise may be due to a number of factors but one that has been cited is that people are starting to realize that non-invasive procedures only work for a limited amount of time and may not be the most beneficial option for those people whose faces are seriously starting to sag.
Question of the Day: Does it cause you any sense of surprise to learn that facelifts are rising in popularity?
