Is a Facelift Without Surgery Possible?

Posted in Facelift, Facial Procedures, Latest News, Ultherapy®

In many cases, particularly those involving severe levels of skin laxity, jowling, and wrinkles along the face, a surgical facelift is the only procedure available to provide the most significant rejuvenation with the longest-lasting results. That said, there are alternatives to facelift that do not require surgery and can effectively address certain aesthetic concerns. For the right patient, these options can achieve numerous goals without the need for surgical intervention and extensive recovery times.

Once our board-certified plastic surgeon meets with you for an initial consultation, he will evaluate your skin and determine whether a non-surgical facelift alternative will be able to meet your needs. For mild to moderate signs of facial aging, one of the most advanced options available at our practice is Ultherapy^®. This treatment utilizes ultrasound technology to “lift” the skin of the face and neck. Ultherapy^® can penetrate deep dermal layers and stimulate collagen, ultimately helping to tighten the skin and yield a firmer, more youthful appearance.

A “Liquid Facelift” is another non-surgical alternative that offers a number of benefits. This procedure involves a combination of cosmetic injectables, such as BOTOX^® Cosmetic and dermal fillers, to temporarily smooth away wrinkles and fine lines and/or to enhance volume in the lips or cheeks.

Both Ultherapy^® and injectable treatments can be performed right here at our practice and typically do not require lengthy recovery periods. While these treatments will not produce results that last as long as a facelift, they can often be a good alternative for patients who may not need or desire a surgical procedure to achieve their goals. Dr. Daniel C. Mills can explore these options with you during the consultation and present his recommendations once you’ve been examined.
