• Facelift: non-surgical treatments cannot achieve sameA facelift can only be performed surgically. Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time at which a facelift becomes appropriate
• Facelift: long lasting, depends on elasticityFacelift surgery is a great way to set back the clock and address the signs of facial aging. The results are generally long lasting, however longevity is dependent on the quality and elasticity of each patient’s skin.

This technique will fully lift and reshape the breasts because it offers the maximum versatility to manipulate breast tissue, remove excess skin, and support the breast.
