Nonsurgical facelift using fillers and threading
Aging is a natural but undesirable process; many ladies choose to age gracefully and do not pay attention to age lines crawling into their faces. Others are more concerned about their look and try hard to defy time and keep younger skin and face. It is a way of dealing with life and getting older. The first thing that people look at when they interact is the face. People are taking way more pictures, especially selfies, than before. Photos are way more accessible than at any time back. Therefore, we noticed that the trend has shifted dramatically in the last couple of years, and more women are concerned about their looks and appearance.
What is a facelift?
A facelift is a cosmetic procedure that helps tighten the face and reshape it to make it more defined and give it a younger look.
What is the difference between surgical and nonsurgical facelifts?
A surgical facelift, as its name indicate, is a full surgery. The patient will be under full anesthesia and have a long recovery time. The main advantage of the surgical facelift is the surgery complications. The results are also non-reversible. It is costly as well.
Nonsurgical facelift:
The non-surgical facelift has many advantages:
1- No downtime or preparation
The procedure takes about 1:30 hours, and no special preparation is required. The client should arrive about 15 min before her appointment to apply the freezing cream. Once the procedure is done, the client can go back to her normal life
2-More affordable
The cost of the complete treatment is 3-4K; it is a significant number, but not if compared with the price of the surgical facelift, which might reach 25K
3-Reversible
Suppose the client can reverse the results at any time for whatever reason. The fillers can be dissolved by injecting a particular enzyme, and the threads can be extracted with a minor cut.
4-High safety profile
The new fillers are considered safe in most cases. Some rare cases may happen when we have to interfere and dissolve it directly after injections. The surgical facelift has many risks as it is a full surgery under full anesthesia.
What do we use in the nonsurgical facelift?
Fillers
The filters are the most important part of any surgical facelift. The injection sites are mainly on the upper cheek and around the mouth. The upper cheek injection handles the Malar atrophy and the nasolabial folds. The Filler around the mouth helps with the depressed oral commissure, marionette, and lip lines. I also tend to inject some filler into the jawline’s deep place to help shape the face and give it a higher definition.
Botox
Botox is injected into two main muscles to help slim the face and give it a more smiley figure; these muscles are the Masseter and the Anguli oris.
Threading
PDO threads are a fairly new technology that helps lift the face in a way that defies gravity. Fillers are great but tend to drop over time due to their heavy weight. The Barb thread has a special structure with miniature claws that hold onto the skin from the inside to lift it.
