New Year, New You: 3 Ways a Facelift Can Boost Your Confidence

The new year has arrived, and with it comes a host of resolutions. You’re going to work harder, build better habits, save more money, and learn more.

All of those things are great goals, but they require sustained effort. Here’s one resolution you can accomplish right away: a facelift.

A facelift isn’t just for appearance’s sake, either. It can affect your entire outlook on life. Read on to learn three ways a facelift can boost your confidence as we head into a new year, courtesy of our expert team at Frederick H. Watkins.

1. Restore your youthful look

Let’s start with the obvious. As you age, your skin reveals the wear-and-tear of the years. It becomes looser and duller, complete with deep wrinkles, creases, and fat deposits. Look at photos of yourself when you were younger — the difference will be noticeable. 

 A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, tightens and lifts the skin on your face and neck, making your skin smoother, fresher, and more youthful — just like those photos. Your skin’s tone, texture, and volume will all improve.

2. Improve your self-esteem

The change a facelift can bring about isn’t just in your physical appearance. Restoring your youthful look can also restore your self-esteem. 

You won’t feel like you have to hide in photos anymore, and in professional settings, you’ll be free to focus entirely on your performance rather than on worries about how you look.

You’ll also feel more secure, ready to lead and take on new responsibilities, and willing and able to connect socially with others. 

3. Make your external age match your internal age

Possibly the biggest way a facelift can bring you confidence is by matching your external age with your internal age. You may have all the energy in the world, but if your face looks tired and older, it could hold you back.

Staring into the mirror and realizing that you now look like you feel can be a huge confidence boost. A facelift isn’t about changing your physical features to look like someone else. It’s about revealing the vibrant, energetic version of yourself that’s been in hiding for a while.

If you’ve decided to give your confidence a lift this year, let’s start with giving your face one too. To schedule an appointment at Frederick H Watkins, call our location nearest you today — Rockville, Maryland, or McLean, Virginia — or use our online scheduling tool anytime.
