A facelift is only done when no good alternative method exists. Your need may fall into this category. When you were examined in Dr. Hudson's office, he usually checks the possibility of other treatments. The advantages and disadvantages of surgery in your case were balanced. If the advantages of surgery outweigh the disadvantages then surgery is recommended. If you have concerns or you are not clear about the operation, call your Dr. Hudson before the operation. Make certain your mind is clear long before the day of surgery. He wants you to go into the operation with a clear and confident attitude.
Resurfacing operations like lasers, peels and sanding (dermabrasion) are not substitutes for a facelift.
