I have had multiple treatments for acne scaring such as fillers, microneedling, active fx, deep fx, fraxel, tca cross, bellafill with subcision and now doing viva venus. My question is I am 32 years old and still see rolling scars although my skin has improved I am still not happy, would it be good for me to get a mini face lift which would target my lower face because that is where my rolling scars are at. Would the skin after the lift go back to what it was and still show the rolling effect.

Answer: Acne scars Shallow acne scars can be successfully treated with laser or light peels. For the deeper scars skin tightening, deep lasers, fat injection and dermabrasion individually or in combination could be used. If you could post your pictures or e-mail your pictures I would advise you more meaningfully. Alternatively you can consult a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Answer: Acne Scars Sounds like you have been through a lot! Photos and/or physical exam needed to provide proper advice. Generally speaking, I am not sure Mini-Facelift is your answer. Direct excision of deeper scars may be an option. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your options. Good luck!

Answer: Mini lift and acne scarring I'm sorry to hear about the troubles with your skin. Unfortunately, I would not expect a facelift of any type to make a meaningful and lasting improvement in the scarring. Plus, you are still really too young to get much benefit out of a facelift procedure. It's a tough problem. I would focus on continuing the SkinPen and laser resurfacing you've been doing routinely. They tend to help a little bit more each time. Best wishes.

Answer: Mini lift for rolling acne scars? Hi, I have performed many facelifts over the past 30 years. I have performed my minimally, invasive SMAS facelift in cases of moderate to severe acne scarring. As the SMAS and skin are tightened and removed, the acne scars flatten out which improves their overall appearance. The underlying SMAS layer, of the face, must be dissected, lifted, trimmed and re-sutured (not merely folded or suspended with threads or sutures that will not last). The excess skin is then removed and the facelift incisions closed.
