Six ways to make your Facelift last longer

Looking at photos of Ozzy Osbourne that have surfaced in the press this week, it’s hard to believe that he’s already had a career in music spanning over 40 years. His youthful appearance defies his 64 years, leading many to speculate that he may have had some cosmetic assistance.

However, if this is the case – it’s unlikely that he’d deny it. Both him and his wife Sharon have openly discussed their love of plastic surgery, with his wife admitting to have spent over £120,000 on procedures in the past. In 2005, Ozzy revealed that he had undergone both a facelift and rhinoplasty, saying “I’ve had a facejob and a rhinoplasty – it boosted my confidence no end. My philosophy is that if, when you look in the mirror, all you can see is the double chin or the big nose, and it makes your life easier to have them cut off, do it.”
Judging from the smoothness of Ozzy’s skin in these latest pictures, it appears that the Black Sabbath front man may well have had some more work done. Many people will opt for facial fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm as a non-invasive means of maintaining ‘natural looking’ youth compared to the dramatic effect of facelift.

If you have had a facelift here are our Top 6 tips to making your facelift last longer:

1.Protect your skin against sun damage

This step is essential. To effectively protect your skin against the sun’s harmful rays, experts recommend using sun block with an SPF of 30 or 40 daily.

2. Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Exercise, hydration and a healthy diet will go a long way to maintaining the effects of your facelift over time. Smoking and fluctuations in weight will have a negative impact on the effects of your facelift and should be avoided.

3. Enhance with injectables

Refreshing the results of a facelift with injectable fillers is becoming an increasingly popular option. Dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm can improve the appearance of wrinkles in areas of the face that a traditional facelift doesn’t touch.

4. Refresh with an Ultherapy treatment

Ultherapy is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound with visualisation (MFU-V) energy to tighten skin immediately while gradually stimulating collagen production, offering long-term benefits that complement those of a facelift.

5. Treat with laser resurfacing

Laser resurfacing treatments refresh the skin, reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone and encourage the formation of new collagen.

6. Use professional skincare products

Professional FDA approved skincare products penetrate deeply to create proven improvements in the appearance of the skin that can’t be achieved with over the counter products. Contact your physician for more information.
