Can I Have A Facelift and Laser Resurfacing At the Same Time?

Blog: Can I Have A Facelift and Laser Resurfacing At the Same Time?

Aging may bring about many unwanted changes to your facial appearance. Age spots darken, jowls begin to sag, and skin quality isn’t as bright or fresh as it once was. While many patients come to us seeking facial rejuvenation with a facelift, many are learning the advantages of combining this time-tested procedure with laser resurfacing.

This anti-aging strategy can bring the benefits of a facelift—repositioning underlying tissue and removing excess skin—with the advantages of laser technology to address multiple skin concerns.

At Connecticut Facial Plastic Surgery, we perform facelifts with laser resurfacing in Farmington and Hartford, CT.

Facial Rejuvenation Synergy

Although a facelift as a standalone procedure provides outstanding results, cosmetic medicine is constantly evolving. We’re finding that combining selected procedures can enhance the benefits of one treatment or the other. One issue a facelift does not address completely is skin quality. Sun damage, pigmentation issues, age spots, or uneven texture may improve slightly with a facelift, but not to the extent many patients need.

Keep reading to understand how opting for laser resurfacing after a facelift can provide the most beneficial and comprehensive facial rejuvenation results.

Advantages of Adding Laser Resurfacing

By adding laser skin resurfacing to your facelift, not only will you enjoy added benefits, but you’ll also cut costs and shorten the recovery period. Other benefits you will enjoy include:

  • Taut, younger-looking skin
  • Enhanced skin quality
  • Increase in collagen and elastin production
  • Improved skin pigmentation
  • Better facelift results
  • Reduction in wrinkles and fine lines

Your Connecticut Facial plastic surgeon employs Lumenis Laser technology, the gold standard of laser skin treatments, due to its ability to enhance skin presence and reduce the common side effects of traditional lasers.

Facelift With Laser Resurfacing vs. Without Laser Resurfacing

For some of our younger patients, a standalone facelift may best suit their needs to satisfy specific cosmetic goals, especially when their concerns are limited to volume loss and sagging skin on the lower part of their face. On the other hand, laser resurfacing may not be an essential additional treatment if the skin quality is already in good shape.

But when skin quality is compromised by years of sun exposure and other environmental factors, laser skin resurfacing may improve the outcome. It adds a balance to the overall facelift benefits by improving upon the results by restoring skin beauty and a lift.
