What's the best procedure that works like a facelift with minimum fuss? I am 52 years old and have decided that I want to improve the look of my face. My choices are filler injections or the new signature lift, which takes about 90 minutes. After reading some of the reviews on the injectables, I am a little apprehensive. I have a wedding to attend in July and I want to look my best. Can someone please let me know about the best procedures that I can do that does not require general anesthesia, with minimal down time and allows me to look like I had a facelift?
Answer: A facelift is best If you want the results of a facelfit, then get a facelift. It is the best way to improve the laxity in the lower face, no question. A minilift can be performed in the office setting and requires no general anesthesia. Downtime is minimal and you should look good in a week, and great in 2-3 weeks. If you desire a non-surgical alternative, then combination therapy is probably best. I would personally recommend a combination of fillers, botox, and Ultherapy. Ultimately, your particular facial anatomy and desires will determine what is best for you. I'm all about customization. Make sure you see someone who can provide you with multiple different options so the best option for you can be selected. Andrew C. Campbell, M.D. Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Non-Surgical Face Lift / Skin Resurfacing with Renuvion/J-Plasma -- add Lasers, Microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy, FaceTite In our practice, we perform a non-surgical face lift / skin resurfacing treatment using Renuvion Helium Plasma Radiofrequency. To get the most improvement with skin tightening, we combine Renuvion (formerly J-Plasma) with lasers (Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Ultherapy and InMode FaceTite. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Facial lifitng without surgery I would recommend you visit with a plastic surgeon who does both surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenating procedures. In my practice, I often a variety of dermal fillers to restore volume to the face, and use energy devices to tighten and restore lost support to the face.

Answer: Liquid facelift A liquid facelift combines Botox and injectable fillers, like Juvéderm or Restylane, in a single treatment. The treatment injects hyaluronic acid and Botox to your face where wrinkles, creases and sagging exist. It achieves results that last a few months. A surgical facelift will achieve results that last longer, however it comes with the risks related to surgery.
