Plastic surgery doesn’t stop the aging process. Facial cosmetic surgery procedures aren’t permanent, but should wind back the clock significantly. The effects of cosmetic surgery can last 10 years or more. Liposuction is permanent as long as patients can maintain a stable weight. Rhinoplasty is also permanent. Tummy tuck, leg and arm lifts, Brazilian butt lift…all of these procedures will bow to the effects of gravity and time eventually…but for most patients it is many years into the future.
