Getting off on the Right Foot With Dr. Anthony
To achieve long-lasting results from your facelift treatment, step one is to have your surgery completed by Dr. Charles Anthony II. As a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, he has the advanced knowledge and training needed to promote the best possible outcomes now and in the future.
To ensure the longevity of your facelift procedure results, he often recommends the following bits of advice:
Keep Up With At-Home Skincare
Impurities in the pores and dryness are just some common factors contributing to prematurely aging skin in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and other blemishes. Retinol creams and serums help to unclog and cleanse the pores as well as exfoliate blemishes. Using moisturizing products containing hyaluronic acid will also hydrate the skin for a continuously smooth look and texture.
Protect Yourself from the Sun
Damage from the sun’s harmful UV rays is one of the leading causes of accelerated skin aging. When you go back out in the sun with your rejuvenated face, wear a wide-brimmed hat to keep it out of direct sunlight. If this isn’t possible (like during swimming), wear sunscreen rated SPF 30 or above and reapply throughout the day.
Drink Plenty of Water
Hydrating isn’t all about topical creams; it’s about what you drink, too. The more H2O in your system, the better your skin’s elasticity, reducing the risk of your jowls and other sagginess returning.
Eat a Healthy Diet
In order for your body to keep up its collagen and elastin production, it needs the right fuels like omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.
Don’t Smoke
Dr. Anthony will most likely have you refrain from smoking starting weeks before your facelift surgery to encourage a safe operation and smooth recovery period. Since tobacco and nicotine are detrimental to your dermal tissue, staying away from this bad habit will allow you to enjoy your new face for much longer.
