Face Lift Alternatives Increasing In Popularity

As elective cosmetic surgery became more popular and literally exploded with a dramatic increase in plastic surgery options, techniques and technologies, face lift procedures became immensely popular. One of the main reasons men and women seek elective cosmetic surgery is to look healthier, younger, and more rested. Face lift surgeries were designed to fight the effects of sun exposure, age, gravity, and loss of skin elasticity as the years go by. Men and women flocked to the operating room with the hopes of turning back the hands of time and erasing telltale signs of aging from their faces, neck and jowls.

However, face lift surgery had its share of drawbacks and risks. It is a highly invasive surgery with a number of incisions placed along the hairline or near the ears. It requires the use of general anesthesia and results are highly dependent on the skill and technique of the plastic surgeon doing the work. All of these elements combined can result in dramatically beautiful results, but can also result in disaster. A lot of patients ended up complaining that the results were not what they wanted and many people are now finding that face lift techniques can give a fake look. However, men and women across the country and around the world still desired a way to help erase the telltale signs of aging and keep them looking younger.

This is where dermal injectables came on to the scene. First made popular with the use of botulism toxin that paralyzes small muscles of the face, dermal injectables are now made of a variety of materials with a variety of purposes. Whether you are trying to erase crow’s feet or eliminate frown lines, dermal injectables can plump wrinkles and help prevent future lines from being formed. Dermal injectables are relatively safe and risk-free. They can be administered by almost any type of physician trained in their use and the risk of adverse effect from poor technique is much lower than with face lift operations. Because they don’t require the use of general anesthesia or operating room time, dermal injectables are much cheaper than more invasive verions of age-erasing procedures.

Face lift still remains a popular elective procedure among many men and women looking to turn back the hands of time and erase years from their face. Most plastic surgeons today are trained in new techniques and technologies that keep this type of procedure from looking fake or obvious. It is a highly dramatic procedure that gives incredible results in a short period of time. Although dermal injectables are becoming more popular, they will never be able to meet or exceed the dramatic results possible with face lift elective cosmetic surgery.
