Face Lift/Y Lift/Thread Lift/Fillers, it's all so confusing. What do I choose?

We are lucky to live in a time when there are so many effective options for combatting the signs of aging. However, it can be quite confusing to decide which will be best for you over the long term. At 60 years old, you would probably benefit most from a full rhytidectomy (facelift) with fat grafting and a neck lift. You may need fillers to even out your eye troughs. It's important to find a facial plastic surgeon for your facelift to get the best results and to not look “done.” Take the time to interview surgeons who understand facial anatomy and aesthetics and are committed to enhancing your own natural beauty. A good facelift should last at least 10 years. As for a tummy tuck, whatever numbness that may follow should resolve over time. I hope this helps.

Any procedure which relies on marketing as its selling point should be discounted.  A facelift, done correctly, will outperform any of these overly hyped procedures.  An experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will be able to  provide safe, consistent, and durable results.

Hello and thank you for your question.  At age 60, there may be many different options for you to achieve your goals.  The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  If good technique is used,
a facelift can be done with minimal scarring and can result in a natural look, not
over-done look, with rejuvenation of your face.  Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect
is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel on the inside, a facelift may be the solution to help you look and feel younger. During your consultation, your doctor will evaluate your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure. Based on this evaluation, he/she will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. Your doctor should make sure you have a full understanding of what results to expect.Always insist on a board certified surgeon!

The important thing with any cosmetic procedure is seeing a surgeon with the skill and training to deliver exemplary results. So, I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best facelift technique for your needs. And no, tummy tuck patients are not permanently numb.
