Why Facial Fillers and Facelifts Complement Each Other

When it comes to combating facial aging, there are a multitude of treatments that patients consider when deciding what procedure is best for them. Two of the most common treatments I perform for facial aging are facelifts and injectable facial fillers. Most patients believe that they have to pick one or the other, but I highly recommend both of these procedures in conjunction to achieve the most comprehensive results.

While injectable facial fillers and facelifts seem like two very different procedures, I prefer to treat them as complementary to each other. A facelift is a surgical, cosmetic procedure that combats the signs of aging by tightening the skin around the neck and face and giving the facial tissue a more youthful contour. Non-surgical, injectable facial fillers such as Restylane®, work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by filling in the wrinkles and plumping your skin.

In the video below, I explain exactly how these two treatments work together and what my recommendations are for a more youthful appearance.
