You join a long line of people praying to the gods of beauty to bring some non-surgical answer to their prayers for facial rejuvenation. It is truly the Holy Grail of plastic surgery. Unfortunately, there is no non-surgical way to get the same results as a facelift. There are, however, a variety of treatments that can provide some rejuvenation and bridge the gap for those who just don't want to go under the knife. Anyone advertising a non-surgical facelift is performing some combination of the procedures described below. To begin, everyone over the age of 35 should be using some kind of skin care. At a minimum, even at younger ages, everyone should be using sunblock. Beyond that there are a large number of skin care lines which can greatly reduce sun damage and aging of your facial skin. Good skin care can be prescribed by a plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or even an experienced aesthetician. Its something you can do now without any real downside and a lot of potential benefit. The next type of treatments include injectable products. The most popular option here is Botox/Dysport. These products are injected into muscles to relax them and stop the progression or the production of facial wrinkles. Its very safe, effective and affordable. You will need to have these treatments every 3-4 months to maintain the results since their effects are temporary, but they are VERY effective. Frown lines between your eyes and in your forehead as well as crows feet can be treated very well with Botox or Dysport (same basic stuff, different companies). For the deeper lines like the ones from the corner of your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds) you might consider filler injections. There are many products available with the most popular ones being made of hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Hydrelle and Prevelle). These can be injected to soften (but completely alleviate) deeper lines and folds in your face. The results can last from 2 months up to a year depending upon the product used and the location of the injection. There are other products that can be injected to add volume depending upon your needs. In fact, one of the best options is taking fat from other areas of your body and injecting it into your face to add volume. You can discuss all of your options with your surgeon. The last group of options are for tightening and/or resurfacing of the skin. This is usually done with lasers though there are other types of machines that can be used as well as chemical peels that can be very effective. The best options currently (in my opinion) is fractional CO2 laser treatments. With that treatment (the one I use is called the Matrix by Sandstone Technology) a resurfacing laser is used to treat your skin with little dots leaving spaces of normal skin in between. This allows your skin to heal very quickly (usually within one week) and still get a nice improvement. You can see some tightening of the skin with this and other treatments, but it will never equal the benefit of a facelift. Always discuss your options with board certified plastic surgeons. You can choose the options that sound the best to you and make a plan together to achieve your goals. If you have excess hanging skin, you will probably need to have it removed which means surgery. In the end, if you need surgery for the best results, you will never match it with non-surgical options. I hope this info helps!
