Cellulite is a condition that affects many people today in our current lifestyles. Whether you are a man or a woman, thin and healthy or overweight cellulite is present in almost every person, though you may not always see it as the severity of cellulite can differ depending on the individual.

There are different grades of cellulite that affect people and is more noticeable in women than men. This is because women’s bodies have different ways of distributing fat that makes cellulite symptoms more obvious. The severity of cellulite in the body can be determined as the following:

Grade 1 (Mild Cellulite) – A minimum amount of depressions in pinched skin causing an ‘orange peel effect’. There may be a slight sagging appearance to the skin.

Grade 2 (Moderate Cellulite) – More depressions are noticeable in a pinched area of skin where the fat cells are more noticeably affecting the skin with a ‘cottage cheese appearance’

Grade 3 (Severe Cellulite) – There are deep depressions in the skin which can be noticeable even without pinching the skin. The skin sags quite a lot and has the appearance of a ‘mattress effect’.

The effects of cellulite are more noticeable in women who are overweight and older than 25 years of age. However, the signs of cellulite can still be found in teenagers and healthy, slim individuals. This is due to a range of factors including hormones, genes, diet and lifestyle. You can reduce the appearance of cellulite with a healthy lifestyle but there is no guarantee that you will be able to rid yourself of cellulite completely.

There are many benefits to having a facelift including the ability to look younger, feel more confident and reducing the signs of aging and wrinkles. There are different ways you can go about getting a facelift but what is the difference between a surgical and non-surgical facelift?

A surgical facelift generally involves a procedure performed under anesthetic that can last up to 5 hours. Multiple incisions are made to the face so the surgeon can reach the underneath of the skin along with the fat and muscle beneath. The excess skin and fat is removed and the incisions closed.

After this a drain may be inserted under the skin to clear any excess fluid or blood after surgery. Bandages are also applied to the individual’s face to protect the closed incisions. The healing process after surgery can result in time off work until everything has healed and the bandages can be removed.

After a facelift surgery, when the bandages are removed the results may not be what you expect. There have even been some horrific stories where people have received major scarring or implications due to facelift surgery. In the best case scenario there is still a small amount of scarring on an individual’s face where the incisions have been made.

In comparison, non-surgical facelifts do not involve anesthetic, incisions, down time or the possibility of scarring. It is non invasive and works with the skin to tighten and reduce the signs of aging. This is an excellent alternative for people on the go and who want to avoid surgical procedures.
