Laser treatments and inyectable fillers or Botox cannot beat surgical facelift yet, as these techniques cannot meet the needs of patients with deep brow lines and wrinkles. Still, inyectables come together with surgical treatment as are key adjuncts to help restore volume and mantain surgical improvements last longer.
The best solution for patients aged 45 and older to get a facelift is by means of a surgery as it is the natural procedure to be followed so as to achieve the desired results when the patient has a remarkable degree of facial agying. According to ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) statistics, facelift is the second most popular surgical procedure for people over 45 years old. Statistics show that almost 102,000 individuals aged 40 and older had a face lift in 2006. As Brahaman Guyuron, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and study co-author remarks, “Whether injectable fillers, surgery or a combination of both, the procedure selected should fit and meet the needs of the patient. With the youngest boomer turning 42 and the oldest turning 60 this year, the demand for surgical procedures that produce results without the tell-tale signs of having had a facelift are going to continue to increase. The oficial medical journal of the ASPS shows a new facelift technique that gives patients a different option, as follows: The authors placed the facelift incision, in a specific angle, within the side burn and temple areas (place above the ear in tradicional techniques). The scar, hidden within the hair, allows hair to grow back through it; therefore, women can pull their hair back without exposing a scar and men to grow sideburns without the discomfort of showing missing hair. This procedure allows a better repositioning of tissue, reducing the risk of the “wind blown”, overdone look. ASPS is the largest organization of board-certified plastic surgeons. It has more than 6,000 members and is a leading authority on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. http://www.plasticsurgery.org
