When you don’t look as young on the outside as you feel on the inside, you may feel ready for a facial rejuvenation procedure at our cosmetic plastic surgery practice in Tallahassee, FL. But surgery isn’t the whole story when it comes to looking youthful, vital, and vibrant. Healthy skin is often the secret ingredient for excellent results that look as natural as possible and last for years.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the role skin care plays in facial plastic surgery and share tips for revealing smoother, brighter, more hydrated skin, no matter your age.
Why Healthy Skin Matters for Facial Surgery Results
Facial plastic surgery may tighten skin and reposition facial tissues to rejuvenate your look, but it does not improve the quality of the skin itself. Healthy skin is youthful skin, so proper skin care is essential. A great routine protects against damage, reverses or prevents signs of aging, and improves the skin’s youthful look to enhance results.
Southeastern Plastic Surgery surgeons put all facial plastic surgery patients on a custom skincare routine to achieve great results. This includes recommendations for products to use before and after facial surgery that keep the skin hydrated, protected from UV damage, and cleansed of any excess oils and debris.
Your 4-Step Cleansing Routine
Healthy skin starts with proper cleansing. Follow these steps to keep your skin squeaky clean:
- Wash your hands: This prevents bacteria from transferring to the face.
- Use an oil-based cleanser: Remove makeup, SPF, excess oils, dirt, pollutants, and dead skin cells, leaving hydrating oils behind.
- Use a traditional cleanser: Massage this in an upward and outward motion to get deeper into your pores, and don’t forget your jawline and neck.
- Double cleanse: Cleansing twice makes sure all debris is cleared.
Once your skin is completely clean, you’re ready to apply serums, moisturizers, and other products recommended by your surgeon.
