How to Maintain Long-Lasting Facelift Results

Your facelift marks a new beginning — and with the right care, you can keep your refreshed, youthful look radiant for years.

A beautifully performed facelift can turn back the clock by lifting sagging skin, refining contours, and restoring balance to your features. But just as important as the surgery itself is what comes after.

Longevity isn’t luck — it’s the result of mindful care, healthy choices, and consistent maintenance. At The Aesthetics Centers, Dr. Siamak Agha helps every patient build a personalized plan to protect and enhance their investment for the long term.

The Role of Surgical Technique

A long-lasting result starts in the operating room. Dr. Agha’s facelift approach focuses on deep structural rejuvenation rather than surface tightening.

By lifting and repositioning the underlying SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) — the tissue responsible for facial sagging — he achieves results that are both natural and enduring. This method avoids overstretching the skin and creates support that holds for many years.

Because of this foundation, most patients enjoy their results for 10 years or more, with gradual, graceful aging that maintains balance and refinement.

Prioritize Skin Health

Healthy skin enhances and prolongs the results of any facelift. Once swelling has resolved and healing is complete, adopting a consistent skincare routine helps preserve elasticity and glow.

Focus on:

• Hydration: Keep skin supple with moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides.
  
  
• Sun protection: Daily SPF 30 or higher prevents UV damage that accelerates aging.
  
  
• Topical antioxidants: Vitamin C and E serums help defend against free radicals.
  
  
• Retinoids: Improve texture and collagen production under your doctor’s guidance.
  
  

Dr. Agha often collaborates with patients on customized skincare regimens to complement their surgical results.

Maintain a Stable Weight

Significant weight fluctuations can affect facial contours, potentially loosening skin or altering proportions. Maintaining a consistent weight supports the longevity of your results by keeping tissues stable and preventing unnecessary strain on newly tightened structures.

A balanced diet rich in lean proteins, healthy fats, and antioxidants also nourishes collagen and keeps the skin strong and resilient.

Avoid Smoking and Excessive Alcohol

Both smoking and alcohol can interfere with the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. Nicotine reduces circulation, delaying healing and accelerating the breakdown of collagen. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and contributes to puffiness and inflammation.

Patients who avoid these habits often find their facelift results last significantly longer, with smoother texture and better tone over time.

Non-Surgical Maintenance Treatments

In 2026, non-surgical rejuvenation techniques have become more sophisticated and gentle, offering a powerful way to maintain facelift results without additional surgery.

Some of the most effective options include:

• Radiofrequency and ultrasound skin tightening to boost collagen.
  
  
• Laser resurfacing for fine lines, texture, and pigmentation.
  
  
• Dermal fillers to maintain subtle volume where natural aging continues.
  
  
• Botulinum toxin treatments to prevent deep expression lines.
  
  

At The Aesthetics Centers, these services are integrated seamlessly into ongoing care plans, allowing patients to maintain a youthful, natural look year after year.

The Power of Hydration and Sleep

Hydration and rest play a bigger role in facial longevity than most people realize. Dehydrated skin loses elasticity, while lack of sleep disrupts cell renewal.

Drinking plenty of water, minimizing caffeine, and ensuring seven to eight hours of rest each night all contribute to glowing, well-rested skin that enhances your facelift results.

“True rejuvenation isn’t about one moment in time — it’s a lifestyle of care and consistency.”

Schedule Regular Follow-Ups

Even after full healing, regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Agha are recommended. These visits allow for professional monitoring, early detection of any changes, and adjustments to your maintenance plan as needed.

This long-term partnership ensures your facelift results evolve gracefully with you, maintaining balance and natural beauty as you continue to age.

The Art of Aging Beautifully

The goal of a facelift isn’t to stop aging — it’s to reset the clock and allow you to age gracefully from a refreshed starting point. With proper care, those results can remain beautiful for more than a decade.

At The Aesthetics Centers, Dr. Siamak Agha and his team combine artistry, science, and personalized care to ensure that every patient enjoys not just transformative results but confidence that lasts.
