Several procedures can take years off a face with wrinkles and sags.  Brow lifts, facelifts, and neck lifts have been done for many years now, and different surgeons have perfected a variety of ways to do them. There are also skin treatments such as laser resurfacing and non-surgical procedures including chemical peels and injectables (such as Botox) that can restore the glow of youth to your face.

In 2006138,254, people had facelifts (usually combined with neck lifts), 54,149 had brow lifts, nearly 576,509 had laser skin resurfacing, more than 1/2 million had chemical peels, and over 3 million had Botox injections.

I had a neck and facelift several years ago when I noticed the first signs of gravity and decided to nip it in the bud. I did it early, before I truly needed it, because I don’t believe it drastic changes—looking like a SharPei one day and smooth as a baby’s bottom the next!  Another advantage to having smaller nips and tucks along the way is that you can maintain as you go, having a little something done every few years, and you simply look as though you just don’t age much.

Always remember, any surgical procedure carries risks, so be an informed patient!
