Non-surgical Facelift or Neck Lift Options?

I'm a fair skinned 51 y/o redhead, and I need my jowls/neck lifted. Due to my thin skin and tendency to scar easily (scars from 20 y/o tubal and 10 y/o breast reduction still keloid/red), I'm looking into a "non surgical face/neck lift". Do I have any other options that wouldn't involve scars in front of my ears? How much would it cost? If the results last typically 2 years, can it be repeated later, or once done, that's it? Thank you!

Non-surgical facelift for a bad scar-er?

Facelift scars are not like breast scars. also get those red scars treated, they need some TLC, simple kenalog injections should do the trick. the preauricular incision in fair people is a low scar risk, even in you. I promise, I haven't ever had to revise a preauricular scar. good luck

Non-surgical neck lift

A non-surgical neck lift does not exist. There are some skin tightening lasers that may gie about a 20% improvement to the skin but do not produce a neckl ift.

A Non-Surgical Facelift is Like a Non-Driving Car: It Doesn't Work

In Facial Plastic Surgery, I have one piece of advice: beware of gimmicks. When a patient wants to have significant changes in the neck and jowls, there is only one option that works. That option is a skillfully performed Facelift. Some minor benefit may be achieved with Thermage and skin tightening treatments, but a significant result is unlikely. Likewise, a quickly performed "branded lift" as seen on infomercials is likely to leave you a few thousand dollars poorer and... more

Neck and jowls are harder to treat without some type of surgery

There are many different lasers out there that are tightening skin without large incisions. These, I think, are still in the experimental phase but some really believe in this mode of non surgical face and neck lift. The results are usually subtle, and require more than one treatment for better results.A traditional neck lift is the best way to pull up the jowls and neck laxity. Other options include fat injections in the face to volumize the face to pull the jowls and some of the neck... more

Look for credibility and results of non-surgical facelift

In a short note, a surgical face and neck lift will not be replaced by a non-surgical procedure any time soon. Options to consider include: - Laser-like "skin tightening" - i.e. Thermage etc. Look through this website for thoughts and experiences. I don't do it and only see the disappointed patient for a facelift - Volume enhancement: Can improve the appearance of jowls but not the neck. Best for cheek and lower eyelid improvement. In the lower face, I use it as an ancillary... more

See a plastic surgeon who is a facelift specialist.

I'm asked this question often by patients with body scars that are bad. I have never had a patient have a keloid from a facelift. I have seen this only when the skin is stretched too tight. We make the incision inside the ear so you don't have an obvious scar in front. Thus, you will get the best result from this surgery because the excess skin will be removed. A "non- surgical" facelift fills or peels wrinkles but does not remove skin. The cost varies depending on whether someone... more
