Will Thermage Help After Previous Facelifts?

Thermage stimulates collagen production which helps to tighten the skin even after facelifts.  Make sure you go to a doctor with experience as it is a specialized procedure.

I have treated many older patients - both men and women -who were adament that they did not want a facelift.  The results of Thermage will not replace a facelift but definitely provided skin tightening and produced new collagen in their skin.  My patients have been very happy.  As long as you have realistic expectations and do not want surgery you will be pleased with the results.  You need to find someone very experienced with this procedure before proceeding.

It's tough to say without seeing you in person if Thermage could be helpful in your particular case but in general Thermage is a great adjunct to a previous facelift. Thermage can tighten the skin and stimulate collagen. We've had some great results with patients who have had previous facelifts as well as those who are hoping to put off having one off for a while.  In addition to Thermage, there may be some other non-surgical options to improve that lower face like Botox and Fillers (like Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse).  We have many options for patients not wanting surgery but a face to face consultation is the best way to get all of your best options.

Take care,
