Commonly, individuals curious about facelift surgery are those who are bothered by visible lines and wrinkles around the middle and bottom sections of the face. Facelift surgery can target various concerns, depending on your unique needs. Candidates should note that age won't always determine the best time to receive a facelift. There are numerous unique factors and also multiple lift types to take into account. The method chosen will vary for patients under 50 when compared to those in their 60s and 70s. Skin laxity is one of the most important elements in the planning process. Depending on your individual needs, there are numerous facelifts available. Some facelifts treat the upper portion of the face while others focus on the middle and lower. It is also common for some patients to have a brow lift, forehead lift, or fillers and BOTOX® to complement and enhance their results.

Which facelift technique is best for me?
The best technique for you will vary based on your concerns, goals, degree of skin laxity, areas being addressed, and other factors. To produce the results you want, our team of skilled surgeons will go over the different surgical techniques during your consultation. We will then help you decide which technique is best for you.

What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Injectable wrinkle fillers and relaxers, like BOTOX and JUVÉDERM®, have become more popular to improve fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments are good for early signs of aging; however, the results are temporary. A facelift can produce more significant improvements compared to injectables with results that can last for a long time. Ask our team about nonsurgical wrinkle treatments in your consultation.

Many patients worry that facelift surgery will make their skin look shiny, overly tight, or like they are in a wind tunnel. At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we focus on giving you a natural-looking result, so you appear refreshed and not fake. We will listen to your concerns and goals before creating your personal treatment plan to produce the best results.
