I cannot afford surgery and wondered if I could benefit from a Nefertiti facelift ?
It is my impression that the "Nefertiti Lift"is injection of Botox into the platysma and the lower face to try and achieve a lifting effect. It is also my impression that there are better ways to spend your money on creating this effect that will last much longer. The treatment algorithm to consider is Ultherapy on the minimally invasive side or a surgical lift on the more invasive side.
Hello and thank you for your question. It depends on your skin laxity. With poor skin elasticity, a necklift will be best. If you have good skin elasticity, then submental liposuction will help. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspectis to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seekconsultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluateyou in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
