How to Preserve Facelift Results for Long-Lasting Beauty


Undergoing a facelift and/or midface lift is a transformative experience that can restore youthful facial contours and boost your confidence. To make the most of your investment and ensure long-lasting results, thoughtful lifestyle choices are key.

Here are Dr. Albert Cytryn’s top recommendations for maintaining your rejuvenated appearance:

  1. Prioritize Sun Protection
    UV rays are a leading cause of skin aging. Protect your skin daily with broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), wear a wide-brimmed hat, and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
  2. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
    Balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and staying hydrated support overall skin health. Avoid smoking, as it accelerates aging and impairs skin elasticity.
  3. Stick to a Customized Skincare Routine
    Invest in high-quality skincare products tailored to your skin’s needs. Retinoids, antioxidants, and hydrating serums can help maintain your results by supporting collagen production and reducing fine lines.
  4. Consider Maintenance Treatments
    Non-surgical cosmetic treatments like BOTOX® injections, dermal fillers, or laser skin resurfacing can prolong the effects of your facelift by addressing subtle changes over time.
  5. Follow Post-Op Instructions
    For optimal healing, follow Dr. Cytryn’s aftercare guidance closely. Avoid strenuous activities and allow your body to fully recover to support long-lasting results.

With proper care, your facelift can keep you looking refreshed for many years. For personalized recommendations, schedule a consultation with Dr. Albert Cytryn in Bethesda, MD. His expertise in facial and oculoplastic surgery ensures that your journey to enduring beauty is in the best hands.
