You might not even need a facelift, or possible a mini face lift

Jonathan Hoenig, MD answers: Which Facelift procedure should I choose?

I am 40+ and interested in getting a facelift. However, browsing through the Internet, I came across so many options that I'm now confused about which one is best for me. Can those who have done a facelift recently please educate my choice. Thanks in advance : )

Most patients in their early 40s only need a mini-facelift or possibly just fillers and botox (sometimes referred to as a liquid facelift). If you have alot of loose skin and/or recent large volume weight loss, then you might need a more extensive procedure. Everybody's different though, so I suggest you go on a few consultations and talk to different doctors to get their opinions and see what makes sense to you.

A: Pick the surgeon, not the procedure

Don't be misled by the catchy names of procedures-this is only a marketing ploy.

Choose an experienced plastic surgeon, and let him tell you the pros and cons of doing things in different ways, based on your specific issues.

See live patients of long-term photos, at least one year after surgery.
