In short, the answer to this is &#8211; yes. Patients undergoing a facelift procedure to lift and tuck the lower face and upper neck are undergoing a permanent change in their appearance. By definition, lifting the facial skin, then tightening the SMAS layer, followed by removal of the excess skin, is considered a permanent change to the face. Perhaps a better question to ask is &#8216;how long should my facelift results last?&#8217; Because the reality is that facelift patients will resume the aging process at the moment I place the last suture during their procedure. Assuming you continue to age at an appropriate rate and take care of yourself, most facelift patients can enjoy 5-10 years before having to consider another lift or tuck. In many cases, patients undergo a facelift procedure and never elect to have any further surgery down the road. But the changes that are made during a facelift procedure are definitely considered a permanent change in the anatomy of the face."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.drhilinski.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Are The Changes From A Facelift (Face lift) Permanent?","item":"https:\/\/www.drhilinski.com\/blog\/are-the-changes-from-a-facelift-face-lift-permanent\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
