I’ve been considering getting a non-surgical facelift

Question:
I’ve been considering getting a non-surgical facelift, but I really have no idea what kinds of options are available. What is the best non-surgical facelift alternative for a 51-year-old woman, non-smoker, with sagging facial skin?

Answer:
There are many options available for non-surgical facelifts. Sometimes and individual will have sagging of the skin because of loss of facial fat and what works best in these scenarios is facial augmentation with either dermal fillers or autologous fat transfer. If the quality of your skin is not what it used to be and the facial sagging is due to loss of skin elasticity then rejuvenation of the skin with laser treatments will not only smooth your skin, but will also tighten your skin for a non-surgical facelift. I have found that even in surgical facelift procedures, a combination of skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, and facial augmentation with fat or dermal fillers gives the best results with no additional recovery time.
