Many of my Houston facelift patients will ask how long their facelift will last before they may need another one.  This depends on the type of facelift performed.  A deep plane facelift will last 10-15 years before you begin to notice more skin laxity, jowling, and descent of tissues that may require a repeat facelift.  Other facelifts may not last as long.  A facelift does not stop the aging process.  A repeat facelift may not require as extensive of a lift as the first facelift.
