Question:
I'm looking into non-surgical alternatives to a face lift. I've heard of two different methods. I'm a 52 year old woman. I smoked for 25 years, but I quit 10 years ago. Which procedure: the threadlift, or laser lift, would be more likely to yield the best results for me? Answer:
Recent studies have shown that the thread lift does not provide appreciable long lasting results. This has led many surgeons to abandon this procedure. I personally do not perform this operation. I do however believe that CO2 laser resurfacing provides an overall tightening of the facial skin. Many former smokers who have deep wrinkles and moderate sagging of the skin benefit from full face laser resurfacing. This does, however, sometimes cause lightening of the skin, and healing time can be just as long as standard surgical facelift. Posted by William E. O'Mara Jr., M.D. |
