Unfortunately, there is No such thing as one type of treatment that will return you to your former self. Here is why: You age in 3 ways redundant skin and underlying supporting structure laxity,volume shifts (loss of volume in the cheeks, gain in the jowls and submental), and skin surface aging - wrinkles, large pores, age spots). It is important to understand that facelifts are meant to remove major folds and wrinkles, not fine wrinkles. A facelift which removed every line and fold would be too aggressive and would result in an unnatural result. The goal of our surgeons is to make your facelift look as natural as possible. Face lifts do not change the quality of the skin and volume issues are best managed by fillers or fat transfer. Skin aging is accelerated by smoking .Fine lines and wrinkles are better addressed by skin treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, which we also offer at our office. Many of our facelift patients enhance their surgical result with these nonsurgical procedures.
The short answer is no. ... The longer answer is that if you post a picture, I can let you know what will work for you.
If you post pictures, I could probably tell you if this would be worthwhile for you. Any degree of tissue ptosis will be better treated with face and neck lift. The device will not treat the platysma, the SMAS or the fatty deposits. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
In part the answer also depends on price point. You are likely to have some help. Will you feel like it was worthwhile? This may depend on what you paid and your expectations. These treatments are not facelifts. On the other hand there is minimal down time. It is good to remember that the very best results end up in the before and after marketing pictures. A very modest improvement is realistic.
Never heard of the clear lift, so you can be sure there is nothing so revolutionary or fantastic about it. Stick with a surgeon who has a good reputation and go with the tried and true, otherwise, you are setting yourself up for a dissappointment.
