Would a facelift help with acne scars?

The emotional impact of acne scars is very often more debilitating than the scars. Depending on the appearance and type of scarring, surgical procedures can be very helpful in the treatment plan. Unfortunately, the skin will never look as good as it did before the acne and scars occurred. A facelift may be a great option as a stand alone procedure or in combination with fillers, fat transfer, laser skin resurfacing, PRP, or energy based devices like RF.  A facelift is essentially a more aggressive form of subcision which will also tighten and remove the excess skin which is creating the "accordion" effect that can accentuate the appearance of acne scars.  The best way to know which treatment options will help achieve your desired results is to have an in person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has experience in a wide variety of acne scar treatments (including facelifts).  Ask to see before and after pictures. 

Thank you for your question. A facelift alone will not improve your acne scars, but a skin resurfacing with Face Lift could be a good option for you.
I hope my answer will help you to your question.Before undergoing any surgical procedure, please seek a board certified plastic surgeon

As we age, the skin loses its supply of collagen and other regenerative substances. Unfortunately, this can make scars and other imperfections look worse. A facelift is a procedure that is designed to lift and tighten sagging skin. While it can produce an overall rejuvenating effect, it is not specifically indicated for the treatment of scars. Complementary procedures, such as dermal fillers and laser resurfacing, may help improve the texture and appearance of the skin. If you are considering a facelift and are concerned about acne scars, you should consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. A qualified surgeon will be able to tell you the benefits and limitations of the procedure.
