Can Botox or injectables/fillers replace a facelift?
Injectables, otherwise referred to as fillers (such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra), and Botox are great tools that we often use to rejuvenate the face. They are VERY effective alone or in combination with a facelift. However, if someone has a lot of excess facial or neck skin and advanced aging changes, there is no amount of botox or filler that will improve one’s facial and neck contour as nicely as a facelift. So, we often use fillers and Botox to prevent or improve signs of aging until a certain point is reached, when one becomes a good candidate for a facelift.
