Anyone can develop saggy skin. In some cases, significant weight loss can lead to loose flaps of skin. More commonly, though, skin starts sagging as a result of the aging process… and one of the first places you’re likely to notice it is around your face and neck. But there are medical ways if you want to lift sagging skin.
It’s for precisely this reason that so many men and women seek facelift procedures. With a facelift, you can have your skin pulled tighter, not only eliminating sagginess but potentially smoothing over fine lines, creases, and wrinkles, as well.
There’s just one problem: Getting a facelift requires surgical intervention, which in turn requires a lengthy post-operative downtime. And frankly, a lot of our patients just don’t have that kind of time.
The good news is that there is now a way to get a non-surgical facelift to lift sagging skin. Specifically, we can offer a non-surgical intervention known as the Silhouette Instalift, which provides many of the same benefits of a surgical facelift, but without the need for you to go under the knife or to receive anesthesia.
So what is this non-surgical facelift procedure? And are you a good candidate for it? Take a moment to learn more about getting a non-surgical face lift with Instalift in Charlotte, NC, right here at H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery.
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Before discussing ways to lift sagging skin, let’s take just a moment to explain what causes skin to sag in the first place. One of the big factors is that, as we age, the skin begins to decrease its production of collagen and elastin, both of which are essential for keeping the skin firm and for its ability to be stretched, then snap back into place. As your collagen and elastin levels go down, the skin loses some of that elasticity; as a result, you may begin to see drooping and sagging, particularly around your neck.What is a Non-Surgical Facelift?
How does a non-surgical facelift address this problem? Essentially, it works with dissolvable sutures. These sutures are placed just under the skin, where they can help reposition and lift sagging skin. This lifting effect is immediate, and can help you address issues with jowling, or with loose skin around your neck, cheeks, or nasolabial folds. Over time, the Instalift procedure will also trigger the production of fresh collagen, which helps restore some of your skin’s elasticity, and ultimately makes the effects of your non-surgical facelift last longer.Am I a Good Candidate for Instalift in Charlotte, NC?
