Facelift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the signs of aging from the face through surgical tightening of loose facial skin and underlying muscle, and reduction or redistribution of excess facial fat. However, some patients may be reluctant to undergo a surgery for an elective aesthetic procedure. In such cases, the surgeon may offer a range of safe and effective non-surgical facelift treatment options.
