Heed the advice and recommendations of your NYC plastic surgeon. He has decades of experience and knows what will help you reach your goals the fastest. Dr. Shokrian respects your opinions and decisions as long as they are within his ability and won’t be harmful to your health. That said, there are several reasons why you may choose a non-surgical facelift over a surgical one, including:

• Non-surgical facelifts are less invasive than surgical facelifts, which means less downtime, less pain and less risk of complications.
• Non-surgical facelifts are often less expensive than surgical facelifts, which can make them more accessible if you’re on a budget.
• Non-surgical facelifts can be performed in your doctor’s office or medical spa, so they don’t require a hospital stay.
• Non-surgical facelifts address specific concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin and loss of facial volume.
• Non-surgical facelifts can be a good option if you want to improve your appearance, but don’t want to undergo surgery.

In addition to FaceTite, other non-surgical treatments include fillers and injectables like:

• Botox®
• Juvederm®
• Sculptra®
• Dysport®
• Accutite®
• Morpheus 8®

While your reasons are your own, you’re not alone if you want FaceTite. There are countless reasons why you may want to look younger, including:

• Societal pressure. Society places a significant emphasis on youthfulness and beauty, especially for women. You may feel pressure to look younger to fit in.
• Self-esteem. Looking younger boosts your self-confidence. A youthful appearance can make you feel more desirable, which leads to a positive attitude.
• Professional advancement. In professions like modeling or acting, looking younger is an advantage. You feel the need to maintain a youthful appearance to remain competitive.
• Personal relationships. You may want to look younger to attract a partner or to maintain a sense of youthfulness in your other personal relationships.
• Health. Looking younger is a sign of good health, which can spur you to good habits, such as eating a nutritious diet and maintaining a regular exercise regimen.

How you think your looks effects how you feel and behave. If you think you look old because of the fine lines around your mouth, you may begin to act older. FaceTite restores your youthful appearance.

FaceTite and facelifts are two cosmetic procedures that improve your facial appearance, but they work in different ways. A facelift, also called rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles to lift and rejuvenate your face. It’s typically performed while you’re under general anesthesia and involves incisions around your ears or sometimes in your hairline. A facelift addresses sagging skin, deep wrinkles and jowls.

On the other hand, FaceTite is a non-surgical procedure that involves:

• Local anesthesia. Your Manhattan doctor administers local anesthesia to numb the treatment area.
• Incision. A small incision is made in the skin, usually around your chin or ear.
• Cannula insertion. A small cannula or thin tube is inserted through the incision and guided to the treatment area under the skin.
• Radiofrequency energy delivery. With the cannula in place, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the tissues beneath the skin. This energy heats the tissues, causing them to contract and tighten.
• Contouring. Your doctor uses the cannula to gently contour the treated area, creating a more defined and youthful appearance.
• Repeat for other areas. The doctor may repeat the process for other areas of your face and neck as needed.
• Incision closure. Once the procedure is complete, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape

FaceTite typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the extent of the treatment. Most people return to their normal activities within a few days, but it’s important to follow the doctor’s instructions for recovery and aftercare. While a face lift provides more dramatic results, FaceTite is a good option if you’re not ready for surgery or have minor concerns.
