No. Injectable collagen treatments are not meant for people who have excess facial skin or for those who want a major resurfacing of the skin. However, doctors often use Zyderm or ZyplastCollagen Implants in conjunction with surgery to fill in depressions not amenable to surgery. By using injectable collagen following a face-lift or laser resurfacing, surgical results can be enhanced.
