When it comes to facial rejuvenation, many people assume that surgery is the only option. However, non-surgical facelifts have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the reasons why you might choose a non-surgical facelift.
Non-surgical facelift options
There are several different types of non-surgical facelift procedure available, including dermal fillers. Each treatment targets specific areas of the face and, when administered by an experienced plastic surgeon who knows how much substance to inject in exactly which sites, can give impactful results.
The benefits
One of the biggest benefits of a non-surgical facelift is that it requires little to no downtime. This means you can return to your daily activities right away, without the need for an extended recovery period. Non-surgical procedures are often referred to as ‘lunchtime procedures’ because they can be completed in just a short amount of time, making them a convenient option when you’re busy!
Another advantage is that non-surgical treatments are more affordable than a surgical facelift.
In addition, non-surgical procedures can produce natural-looking results without the need for incisions or general anaesthetic. These procedures can help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, add volume to the face, and lift sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
The downsides
It’s important to weigh up the downsides too. One of the main disadvantages of non-surgical facelifts is that their effects are typically temporary. While results can last anywhere from several months to a few years depending on the treatment, they will eventually wear off and require additional treatments to maintain the desired appearance.
Also, while non-surgical facelifts are generally considered to be less risky than surgical procedures, they still carry some risks and potential complications. For example, some people may experience bruising, swelling or infection at the injection site. In rare cases, complications such as nerve damage or allergic reactions may occur.
Another potential downside is that non-surgical procedures may not be as effective as surgery for more severe signs of ageing or significant sagging of the skin. In these cases, a surgical facelift may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
In summary, a non-surgical facelift can be a great option if you’re looking to achieve a more youthful appearance without the cost, risks, or recovery time associated with a surgical procedure. However, it’s important to discuss all your options with our experienced plastic surgeons who will help you determine which treatment is best for you. With the right approach, you can achieve the results you want and feel confident and happy in your own skin.
