For Some, Facelift is Better than Fillers

Facial fillers are a great, cost effective way to look several years younger, but many continue to argue in favor of the more traditional facelift procedure. Some say that facelifts require more recovery time and are often more painful, which is true. However, their results last longer than those from facial injections, which often only last a few years. Also, some patients may be allergic to the medications that are injected into the face. Though this is rare, it can cause serious complications.

The amount of recovery time typically depends on each patient. Some report that they are able to return to work and their normal daily lives within a week. Their results may last for up to 10 or 20 years, which would make up for the difference in price and recovery time. Making the decision to have reconstructive surgery, either through a facial injection or a facelift is a major one.
