Thank you for your question. A facelift will help, but there is no replacement for sheer volume inside.  The dentures are a big deal.  I suggest you shop for other places of obtaining them.  I hope this helps.

Steve Laverson, MD, FACS · Answer

Facelift may help diminish the skin envelope proportionate with your shrinking bone mass, but in your situation, I often augment facial skeletal volume with implants as well to restore youthful, natural contours.  There are so many nice implants available for this purpose, in solid silicone, porous polyethylene, and teflon.  After restoring more robust osseous convexities of face and jaws, less skin repositioning is necessary, and the outcome more naturally beautiful in many cases.  Photos taken in your youth and your present features may help guide selection of implant size, shape, and position.

I am sorry but I am not aware of the bone loss that you are referring to.  That being said, a facelift does not generally restore volume in the lower face but this can be done with fillers or fat injections.

A facelift addresses tightening of soft tissues of the neck and face which includes  tightening the  jowls, tightening the neck muscles and of the face and neck and tightening the excess skin. A facelift has no bearing on the bone loss from dentures

Constance M. Barone, MD · Answer

No facelift does not restore bone loss appearance.   It is best to go with implants first to restore thr bony foundation first.   Later address the skin envelope with a facelift , if it is still necessary. Good Luck
