Facial rejuvenation refers to cosmetic treatments that are designed to restore a more youthful appearance to your face. This can be achieved either through surgical methods, such as eyelid surgery, necklifts, or facelifts, or non-surgical methods, including Botox and Juvederm.
Some of the benefits of both surgical and non-surgical facelifts and other facial rejuvenation procedures include:
- Minimization of dark spots, pigmentation, and spider veins
- Tightening of loose skin
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Increased collagen production
- Enhanced overall facial appearance

Surgical vs Non-Surgical Facelift: How to Choose
Today, there are many options available for remedying visible signs of facial aging, including sagging in the face and neck. Depending on the degree of correction needed, patients can often postpone the need for a surgical facelift by using a combination of injectable fillers, such as Juvederm, and Botox to add lift and fullness.
For patients who are experiencing significant sagging, loss of facial volume, and wrinkling, then a surgical facelift is most likely the best way to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Facelift Combination
In certain cases, a combination of both surgical and non-surgical facelift techniques may be most effective for reducing deep folds and tightening up sagging skin.
What is a Surgical Facelift?
A facelift is a procedure, or combination of procedures that can be used to target and correct different areas of the face. The mid face area is usually the first area corrected, however patients can also opt for the following:
- A brow lift can eliminate wrinkles and frown lines in the upper face
- A necklift can be performed if it’s determined that lifting the midface won’t achieve the correction required in the neck.
- Eyelid surgery is sometimes recommended for patients who are self-conscious about hooded eyelids or bags under the eyes.
These cosmetic procedures can be done either alone or in conjunction with a facelift to achieve the most satisfactory results.
Non-Surgical Facelifts: Cosmetic Injectables
Cosmetic injectables, such as Botox and Juvederm are a range of safe and highly effective treatments which can be used to help target signs of facial aging, such as volume loss and wrinkles, and help restore a softer and more youthful appearance.
Some of your non-surgical facelift options include:
- Botox - Botox is most often used to treat the dynamic lines around the eyes and forehead, but it can also be used to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline, soften the lines around the mouth and nose, and help enhance the brow.
- Dermal Fillers - Dermal fillers such as Juvederm are commonly used to boost cheekbones and plump lips, although they can also be used to smooth fine lines and deep creases, and restore facial volume lost through aging or weight loss.
How To Choose Between Surgical and Non-Surgical Facelifts
Typically, patients in their 30s and 40s are able to get the facial correction they desire using cosmetic injectables such as Botox and Juvederm. Patients who are over the age of 40 may find that their goals can be met with a facelift that is designed for their specific needs.
Book a Consultation With Your Plastic Surgeon
If you are wondering which option is best for you, then the best way of getting your questions answered is by booking an appointment with a plastic surgeon. Such a professional can examine your face and neck and examine factors such as:
- Volume loss
- Skin tone
- Aesthetic factors
- General health
By doing so, your plastic surgeon can help you review both your surgical and non-surgical facelift options and help you make the most informed and safest decision.
