Before we get into the question of whether a facelift can restore skin elasticity, we would like to introduce the causes of facial skin aging. How does facial aging occur? Facial aging is not only a change in the appearance of the skin, but also a change in the location and structure of the deeper tissues, resulting in a variety of different aging manifestations. Its histological changes for the dermis papillae become low, elastic fibers lose elasticity and break, collagen fibers renew slowly and appear degeneration, intercellular hyaluronic acid reduces, dermal water content decreases, sweat glands and sebaceous glands atrophy, manifested as thinning, dry skin, loss of elasticity and sagging, and the emergence of folds and age pigmentation spots. How does a facelift combat facial aging? A facelift is a surgical procedure that involves pulling back and upward on sagging facial skin to keep it taut, and at the same time lifting and tightening the deeper layers of facial fascia and other tissues in different directions. Some candidates need to remove excess skin during the surgery. Through the introduction of skin aging, and the principles of facelift surgery to combat aging, we can draw this conclusion: facelift surgery is equivalent to a spring that has become sagging and lengthened, part of the excision, the face looks tight and full again, the process will not restore the skin’s elasticity, but the skin’s elasticity will be improved due to the traumatic nature of the facelift surgery. Why? When the skin is traumatized, it initiates self-repair. A facelift is more traumatic, and the external stimulation through facelift lifting activates the function of self-repairing cells in the body, which can effectively stimulate the reorganization of new collagen within the skin. Collagen is a substance that we should not be unfamiliar with. 1, moisturizing: collagen itself has moisturizing water factor, can make the skin watery. 2, brightening: collagen itself brightening effect depends on its own water content, so that the skin more shiny. 3, skin tightening: when collagen is absorbed by the skin, reduce the pores, make the skin taut and elastic. 4, repair: can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, the skin tissue for deep recovery. Although the facelift surgery can not make the candidate’s facial skin elasticity, restore to the degree of youth, but there will be a certain degree of improvement.
