My pores are so large that my skin sags and looks like fine wrinkles. If I were to have a facelift, would it have an adequate effect on tightening them? I would assume they would soften, just like any other facial wrinkles. I am aware that a facelift is not a solution for acne scarring, but my main concern is pore size.
Answer: Fat Grafting Is Better Than Facelifting For Pore Size. Since you describe laxity that causes wrinkling along the large pores you might see some improvement in the appearance from a facelift because the laxity will be less. I notice in many patients the a facelift will "iron out" irregularities especially along the cheek skin. I would strongly suggest adding fat grafting to your procedure as this will transfer stem cells which appear to rejuvenate the skin and reduce pore size. In summary, you will almost certainly improve your appearance with a facelift, but add fat grafting to also help pore size. The importance of fat grafting to add back missing volume in the face and rejuvenate the skin can not be overstated. After 15 years of doing facelifts, I feel it truly raises the bar to a new level.

Facelifts do not address textural issues on the surface of the skin; rather, they help to tighten lax, sagging skin and create a better neck and jaw contour. If you are concerned about surface issues such as pores or acne scars, laser rejuvenation, chemical peels, or microneedling may be better for you. I suggest visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can assess your skin during an in-person consultation and come up with a custom treatment plan to address your concerns.

Answer: Pores and facelift Unfortunately, pore size won't be greatly improved with a facelift. It may reduce their appearance a bit, but probably not to the extend you'd like.

Answer: Facelift for large pores A facelift will not tighten large pores. However, it will tighten loose skin and many times patients with acne scarring obtain benefits as well. Without photos, it is impossible to know what procedure you would benefit from. You may need some form of resurfacing as well as a facelift performed.

Answer: Facelifts Do NOT tighten pores - but Resurfacing procedures do
NO, a facelift surgery will not tighten pores. Only a resurfacing procedure such as laser or chemical peels will do this. We personally prefer the Obagi Blue Peel due to its safety and quick recovery.

Answer: A facelift will not improve pore size
Hi Sebastiana. No, a facelift will not affect pore size. It may improve the overall appearance of your face and neck skin and skin texture, but pore size itself will not change.
