Non surgical facelift

A facelift is a procedure that tightens skin and readjusts the deep tissues of the face. The results from a skillfully performed facelift are dramatic and very long lasting. There is no treatment that even comes close to achieving what a facelift with ancillary procedures can. The down time before returning to public life is about two weeks, faster in some patients who are not having a lot of ancillary procedures (cheeklifts, blepharoplasties, minimally invasive browlifts, LiveFill etc.).... more

Nonsurgical facelifts do not work the same way as facelift surgery

"Non-surgical facelift" is a bad term--it should be called "Non-surgical facial rejuvenation." There are a number of different approaches: 1. Energy transfer. In this case, energy of some type (radiofrequency, infrared, etc) is used to 'heat' the deeper facial tissues and ostensibly cause tightening of the face. The first and most 'famous' was the Thermage system but several others exist. Most reputable studies have shown that these systems (at least... more

Non-Surgical Face Lifts

In today’s current technology, there is no such thing as a non-surgical face lift. There are promising new technologies out there, both with ultrasonic and radio frequency wave technology that may eventually tighten the skin in a very methodical orderly fashion. These are promising, but they are truly just to tighten minimally loose skin only and also potentially for patients who have a minimal secondary neck deformity after a facelift. There is no true, real substitute at this time... more

There are no miracle non-surgical procedures

Everyone would like a miracle cure for aging and the result of a well performed natural appearing facelift without actually having a surgical procedure. There are no miracle non-surgical procedures or treatments, including fillers, acupuncture, muscle stimulation, lasers, or skin creams, that can produce the same results as a facelift.

Facial Volume Loss versus Facial Volume Descent

In order to determine the ideal solution for your facial aging concerns, it is important to differentiate whether your aging is due to volume loss or volume descent.  If you maintain an angular jaw and neckline, but exhibit prominent nasolabial folds and marionette lines, you most probably have volume loss and may benefit from filler or fat grafting.   However, if you have volume descent,  you will exhibit excess skin and poor definition of the neck, jawline, and cheeks.... more

Liquid Facelif is not the same as a facelift

A facelift is still the best way to tighten jowls and skin laxity in the face It depends on the deformity the patient has…The aging process is composed of not only skin relaxation but also displacement of the underlying tissues like muscle and fat as well as bony reabsorption. If the patient has minimal lines around the eyes or forehead one may use Botox or other fillers. Deflation of the cheek area and jaw line may also be addressed with fillers.

Non Surgical Facelift is a Misnomer

When a patient has the aging changes (jowls, platysmal banding, mid facial descent, skin laxity) and the desire, Facelift is truly the gold standard for facial rejuvenation. There is no procedure, invasive or non invasive, that approximates the result of Facelift. Non surgical Facelift is truly more of a marketing description for minimally invasive procedures (fillers, Botox, IPL, non ablative laser treatments). At the same time, not every patient with significant aging changes wants to,... more

Nonsurgical Facelifts "Liquid Facelifts" Are Often Recommended By Nonsurgeons

Often the marketing term "Non-surgical facelift" or "Liquid Facelift" is used by doctors who cannot perform a real facelift because they are not trained to do so. Because they can't do a facelift, these doctors attempt to rejuvenate the face using only injectable products such as Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Radiesse and Botox Cosmetic. Many of these patients would be better served by a combination of skin tightening using a facelift, cheeklift, or necklift along... more

Maybe but...

Yes there are great advantages to dermal fillers. They can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Botox as well, in the right circumstances, can also be useful. In addition using a good skin care regimen which includes tretinoin is important. None of these have much down time. The next line of treatment would be peels and lasers. But you do have to do your homework when it comes to lasers. If they say it's painless it doesn't do anything. Some lasers can help tighten skin... more

There are definite options for a non surgical facelift

There are different options to rejuvenating a person's face. You don't necessarily have to undergo a major facelift with long incisions to make yourself look better. A great option is facial fat transfer. When people age, they lose volume in the face and this contributes to the facial skin drooping and the wrinkles to form. It has been the practice of surgeons to cut away skin that appears to be excessive to what it used to be. This approach is not always the best way to make a person... more

Facelift vs. Mini facelift vs. nonsurgical facelift

Facial aging is due to a loss of skin quality; loss of fascial support; and atrophy of soft tissue. Skin quality and soft tissue can be improved nonsurgically, however, fascial support must be addressed with surgery. Thus, nothing is superior to a facelift in restoring facial harmony.

Depends how much corrrection you want for your face lift

It really depends on how much correction you are looking for and to what degree. Aging is a process that effects skin, muscle, fat, and bone. Using a treatment that corrects only one aspect of aging gives you a unidimensional correction. If the only aspect of aging is loss of volume than a filler such as restylane would be a great option. However, if you smoke, tan extensively, have osteoporeosis or dental disease, weight loss, etc, then you would need significantly different options for... more

Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation is possible

While it is not possible to truly "lift" a face non surgically, rebalancing facial volumes with injectiable fillers can create a dramatically rejuvenated appearance. In combination with Botox for muscle tone rebalancing and skin care or peels for brown spots and fine wrinkles, nonsurgical rejuvenation of the face can make amazing changes. Nonsurgical rejuvenation falls short, however, in treating actual looseness of the jawline and neck. For those areas, the most effective... more

Non-Surgical "Facelift"

Of course the non-surgical procedures "work", and they have their place. That is why the injections have become so popular. And there is almost no down time. But they do not compare to the long-lasting dramatic improvements seen with full Face-lift, Browlift and Neck-lift procedures. These procedures need to be done carefully and with attention to detail, not under local anesthetic in an hour or two. They also take longer to heal, but as you can see from the "worth... more

There are many new technologies developing in the field of Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine. They include new devices that employ radio frequency, ultrasound, and other forms of non-invasive energy that can help reduce skin laxity and give a minor improvement in facial contour. However, these technologies currently do not provide results comparable to a surgical facelift, thus this procedure remains the gold standard in rejuvenative facial procedures.

Non Surgical Face Lift vs. Traditional Face Lift

Non Surgical Facelift or a liquid facelift in the case of using fillers such as juvederm or restylane will not provide the same results as a traditional facelift. If there is a loss in volume or wrinkles then a liquid facelift may be in order. For drooping features created by skin laxity then a traditional facelift is the optimal way to go.

Ageing can be broken into components

Aging is a constellation of events. In the face it is laxity of ligaments which allow deeper structures to descend. On the skin, the elasticity is slowly lost. To best address the aging face we need to adress both components. Non surgical approaches cannot address both components. That said, non surgical facelifts have a place as long as you understand what it's limitations are as well as its ability to withstand the test of time.

Yes there are alternative to surgery

One is a liquid lift which uses combinations of fillers, lasers, etc. to create the appearance of a facelift (without the surgery).

Face lifts without surgery

No. You need surgery. Fillers are great. But they do not replace face lifts. You will waste money and time on fillers, and can easily spend more for no result, than you will having surgery. The recovery? With a good surgeon and the new techniques, it's amazingly easy. You may have a headache until the bandage comes off (24 hours). There is little bruising, if the face is taped after surgery. You will be swollen. That will begin to go down in a week. I... more

A short recovery is possible with less invasive facelifts such as LifeStyle Lift, S-Lift, Quick Lift, LiteLift, MACS and others.

Yes you can achieve very nice improvement of facial aging changes with fillers and fat and Botox or Dysport. As we age the fat in our face atrophies or is lost. The effect on our face is similar to what happens when you let the air out of a baloon-the skin loosens and folds and lines or wrinkles appear.

Is there a non-surgical facelift that works?

Yes, up to a point. Of course it isn't a true facelift, but that is just semantics. Faces look old for several reasons: skin deterioration, loss of volume, and loss of elasticity are the main ones. These all contribute to sagging and various shadows and hollows that make a face look old. Good skin care followed by an injectable product to replace lost volume can sometimes make an amazing difference. Then add a procedure like a Fraxel laser to tighten and resurface the skin, and you can... more

Non surgical facelift. Does it work?

When the human face ages, several things happen. We loose fat, muscle and bone mass. But we also loose skin elasticity. It really depends on the degree of aging. The fillers can help and give improvements, but often one needs to correct the skin laxity. This is why you need to go to a surgeon who can give you what you need and not just what he is able to do.

Nothing can replace a facelift

There are alternatives such as fillers ("liquid facelift"), skin resurfacing, or skin care, but nothing can replace the repositioning, lifting, and fixation that occurs during a facelift.

When a facelift not a facelift

Because a facelift is only one option among many for facial rejuvenation, it needs to be defined and distinguished from all of the procedures claiming to be a facelift without surgery. A facelift is a 3-dimensional operation, so part of what it does is elevate sagging skin, part reshaping volume. So skin tightening procedures like Thermage only address one aspect, while injectable fillers address a different thing.
