Question:
Will I experience more wrinkle reduction from a true facelift or from Botox injections?
Answer:
Wrinkle reduction is usually carried out from a combination of skin care, Botox in the indicated areas, and possibly laser or chemical resurfacing. A facelift can assist with wrinkles if it is associated with other signs of aging such as jowl formation or neck laxity. A fat transfer may also be used to help improve wrinkles if volume loss is part of the cause. In general a consultation will be the best method to determine which procedure will benefit the patient most.
