So why a facelift alone isn't enough there.
You see it all the time, a surgical office, all of a
sudden everything's a facelift.
You got to get a facelift.
Only a facelift works threads are bad.
Lasers are bad.
Fillers are bad.
Billers migrate.
It's called FID fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Don't let people put that in your head.
And here's why it's important.
I'm going to give you three reasons why a fake.
Isn't enough and why you see pure surgical offices.
Next thing you know, they're offering fillers.
Hm.
Next thing.
They're offering lasers.
Hmm.
Next thing they have a whole filler side, a med spa side to the practice.
Hm.
Why is it?
It's because of facelift is enough for them.
Three reasons.
And before we start, I like it all.
And unfortunately, many people need it all, meaning they need it all because
in their mind they have a result that they want to see in an order
often to get that result, depending on the age and stage, that's what
would need to be done to achieve it.
Whether people like to hear it or not.
And a clean example of that is someone asking me about going on a retinol going
on skincare, will it get rid of my gel?
And unfortunately it's so complex.
It's fat pads.
It's re opposing of the tissues.
It's loss of bone.
It's over use of musculature.
It's very complex.
So these are the reasons why a facelift isn't enough.
Number one.
Bone loss.
So we have to understand what a piece of.
There's many variations, but we're going to basically refer to what is probably
the best procedure, in my opinion, which is when you need one, a deep plane
facelift, which used to be taking, cutting here, taking the skin, moving it back,
and you would have heard people say, oh, I'm on my third or fourth facelift
because it was about stretching the skin.
Whereas now.
It is more about releasing ligaments and opposing the tissue differently,
mainly in a lifted manner.
Be it straight vertical in some areas, straight, vertical, and
lateral, everyone's going to be different and have different needs.
But the point of it is when you make those cuts, you remove the
skin, you move the tissues, you don't change the what the bone.
And as I'm sitting here, my head's on a bobble.
It's not seeing resistance.
Like my.
Like my spine.
And when it does see resistance that builds the bone.
So the head not seeing resistance, think of it as crumbling the
bone a bit dramatic for sure.
But understand.
There's a lot of remodeling of the bone in the face in the facelift will.
Change that.
And if you watch my video on looking old versus tired, I talk about bad pads.
I talk about bone.
Bone is often what you're seeing.
When you say that person's looking old, you're thinking in your mind,
you don't say it because you get in trouble, but you're you look at some.
I haven't seen them in four or five years.
They're looking old.
Typically they've gone from 45 to 55, 50 to 60, whatever it may be,
but often it's the bony changes and watch my video on the bone.
And here's a picture of new bone versus old bone.
So you can just see the changes around the eyes.
The eye socket gets larger.
It rotates the wrong way down.
We want the eyebrow up.
You look at the, uh, the bone in the center of.
It kind of opens up.
So there's more black area.
There's more hollow in the face.
Um, the jaw line bone here gets very narrow people lose the mandible, the T.
All those things and you go watch my video on K2 for ways that you
can help restore your bone or things you can do to maintain your bone.
But the facelift doesn't change the bone.
Number two, it removes skin.
As we said, it does not increase dermal thick.
It does not help with collagen or elastin.
And we know loss of collagen, loss of elastin, loss of hyaluronic acid.
Now, you know, hyaluronic acid from serums, from cross-linked hyaluronic
acids that we inject to make them last longer, but your own body's producing
hyaluronic acid and breaking it down.
It produces collagen and it breaks it down.
It produces a lasting and it breaks it down.
That machinery is great for most.
Age 10, 20, 30, 40.
It starts to slide.
We get increased of MMPs.
Collagenase is things that chew that up and get rid of it.
And so we need to boost the machinery up, but a facelift does not do that
as example of some things that do, which you're going to hear them damned
by a lot of people, but PDO threads, uh, biostimulators sculptor PLS.
Platelet rich fiber and your own blood product from your own
body, if you want all natural.
Um, and then of course, devices heating, microneedling, whatever floats your boat.
I'm not tied to anyone.
I use the ones that I like best that I think work the best.
And I have a variety for each patient is everyone's a little bit different,
but understand taking skin away from here, moving everything up.
Repurposing tissues.
Wonderful.
I'm going to get mine.
No problem.
I like it all.
However, it's not going to make my skin here any different than it is today
because they removed it back here.
Number three, it does not help.
A lot of what we talk about on this channel, which is poor size
sunspots, redness, like rosacea.
We talked about the thinning of the skin, but there's also changes in the
fine lines on the surface of the skin.
It's not going to change any of those things.
If you think about a mole here after a facelift, it might be
over here, but it's still there.
We removed the skin back here.
So what do we do for them?
That sort of skincare, so important CO2 laser.
How many people get on the table when they're getting a facelift
to CO2 at the same time, if they can handle that downtime,
that's why we do fractionated RF.
It's why we use growth factor skincare.
It's why you might do micro-needling at home.
The Derma roller Antioch system with growth factors to help
build the skin and help with.
The redness, the fine lines, all those things because of
facelift, won't help those.
And it's exactly why you see a surgical surgical practice.
Only, always talking about surgery, surgery, surgery, and then it
shifts over towards all of a sudden they're running lasers because.
People need it all.
So a lot of people ask me the question, oh, I'm just going
to wait and get a facelift.
I'm not going to bother with all the rest of it's too much.
I can't understand it.
There's so much out there.
I feel like I'm being ripped off.
I'm just simply going to get a pay slip when the time comes.
And it's the wrong way of thinking.
If you want to maintain the bone, this skin, the fat, and have a nice.
Beautiful youthful skin.
And I'll go through, I'll do a whole video on what is beautiful skin.
What's the difference between beautiful youthful Korean glass skin that
everyone talks about on this channel versus skin that doesn't look vibrant
and alive and young and youthful.
We'll do a whole video on that, but I wanted to address exactly why.
Uh, facelift alone.
Won't do it.
And it's the wrong way of thinking in my mind.
I want to hear from you, stay tuned here.
Keep your skin and body beautiful, healthy, and vibrant.
