Don’t Believe the Noise About Facelifts Replacing Filler — Here’s What Your Face Actually Needs
Highlights (6)
Dr. Shereene Idriss explains that a facelift mainly removes excess skin and repositions fat, but it cannot restore lost fat, change bone structure, or improve skin quality. She breaks down how the face changes through the 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, and explains when skincare and conservative in-office treatments may be more appropriate. Her central message is to choose a treatment timeline based on your own facial concerns rather than on anyone who profits from your decision.
- Facelifts mainly address excess skin and reposition fat
- Bone, fat, and skin-quality changes need different solutions
- A facelift is not automatically needed at 35
- Treatment timing should be based on your face, not a seller’s agenda
