I’m thinking of getting a facelift. Are they safe?
Angela C., Stratford, CT Dear Angela, I get so many questions like yours — and my answer is always the same: No. Surgical facelifts carry risks of infection, nerve damage, memory loss (from anesthesia), and death. So … I’m happy to tell you about an alternative that is the best-kept secret in cosmetic surgery today. Instead of a scalpel, it uses radio frequency waves to heat the collagen layer under the skin, stretching it tight. This results in a smooth, taut appearance. The procedure is quick, noninvasive, and very effective. In fact, it has been so successful, researchers are beginning to use it on breasts, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and other age-sensitive areas. This is “the facelift of the future” — and it’s available right now The procedure lasts anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more. Amazingly, there is no recovery time — and no bruising, scarring, or bleeding. Most women see results within a few short weeks — after just one treatment. This improvement actually continues
