Hi, I am 42 years old and am starting to notice the facial "drooping" associated with aging. I had a consult and was recommended fillers, and my questions are 1) would having a mini-facelift now instead, and every several years, assure a more natural result over time and 2) if I did have fillers now and wanted a facelift later, would the presence of filler make it more difficult to know where to place things during surgery. Thank you
Answer: Can Early Facelift Be Better Than Fillers? Fillers Are Only for Early Aging; Mini Lifts and Facelifts Provide More Dramatic and The answer to your question depends on how much “drooping” you have. If you have reached the point where you have jowls or loose neck skin, then surgery is the best option. If you just feel that your face looks a little lower than it used to, you may be able to benefit from a liquid facelift with fillers. However, these can be quite expensive to maintain over time and will eventually be inadequate.

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: Fillers vs lift It depends on what concerns you now. If you have jowls, neck bands, or ptotic cheek tissues, fillers will generally not work and I would recommend a lift. However for loss of volume in your cheeks, lips or mild nasolabial folds or marionette lines, fillers should be fine. Fillers will not affect your ability to get a proper lift when the time comes.

Answer: When to Lift vs when to Fill Thanks for sharing. "Lifting" and "fillers" complement one another. If you are at the point that fillers are not producing the desired result then it may be time for some type of Lifting. Lifting will help the "sags and bags" and Fillers will help the "fine lines and wrinkles". A mini lift should not be repeated every several years as that is too frequent. Normally, fillers prior to a facelift would not make the procedure any more difficult. Consult with several experienced board certified surgeons for opinions.
