"Non-Surgical" Facelift
At Madison Avenue Plastic Surgery, we recognize that there is a desire for a "non-surgical" approach to the aging face. This may be a good approach if you have early signs of facial aging but are not yet "ready" for a surgical facelift. It is also an attractive alternative for those who wish to avoid anything "surgical", or prefer a gradual, more subtle improvement.
After critical evaluation of your face and your specific signs of aging, we will develop a complete "non-surgical" approach that addresses your needs and desires. This treatment plan may include a combination of Botox, injectable fillers, volumizers, chemical peels, and our exclusive line of powerful medical grade skin care products (Clincal Edge Skin Care). We also utilize the latest in skin-tightening and resurfacing Laser technology that can offer improved appearance of your face with immediate results and no "downtime."

It depends on the specific treatment plan that your doctor recommends to you. In general, fillers, volumizers, and Botox can all be performed at the same time. However, you may chose to divide these treatments into separate sessions if you prefer. You and your doctor will decide on how much, or how little, to do during each visit.
No. A surgical facelift will is a powerful way of reversing the signs of aging and can last up to 15 years. However, it obviously requires surgery.
Non-surgical techniques will never replace a surgical facelift, but do offer significant improvement in the signs of aging. It may be an option for those who have only early signs of aging and are not quite "ready" for a surgical facelift, or others who for whatever reason do not want surgery (fear of anesthesia, fear of scarring, financial, etc.)
