In this time of economic downturn, there are many folks looking for an alternative to traditional facelifting for rejuvenation. Perhaps they can't take the time off from work, or maybe they just don't feel comfortable treating themselves to rejuvenation when so many people are in financial troubled waters, but whatever the reason, it is good to know that facelift alternatives exist, and they work!
I'd have you consider medical skin care in concert with chemical resurfacing (a deep chemical peel), or laser resurfacing, plus injectables. Injectables inlude Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Sculptra, and especially liposculpture (fat transfer). Liposculpture takes your own fat from one part of your body and puts it back into your face with relatively amazing results that last! Another way to combat jowl formation is with a special chin implant called a prejowl implant, so this is another item to consider. Submental liposuction and neck muscle tightening also needs to be on you list of facelift alternatives.
So, talk to an experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation to discuss all these exciting (and effective) options!
