A non-surgical facelift works best for adults who experience early to moderate signs of facial aging volume loss in the cheeks or temples, sagging along the jawline, skin that has started to lose its firmness and who prefer gradual, anatomy-led improvement over surgery. Good candidates are in generally good health, have realistic expectations about what injectable treatments can achieve, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
Patients with advanced facial sagging, significant skin excess, or structural changes that injectables cannot address are better served by a surgical consultation. Masha Banar assesses this at every initial evaluation and refers patients to surgical care when it is the clinically appropriate choice.
