How Can BOTOX® Injections Enhance Facelift Results?

Once you make the decision to undergo facelift surgery, you may have questions about how to preserve, prolong, or even elevate your newly enhanced look. One of the most popular and convenient post-facelift treatments that many patients take advantage of to complement their new look is BOTOX. With BOTOX injections after facelift surgery, patients can target dynamic lines and wrinkles that may not be addressed with a facelift to achieve a smoother, younger look. At The DeRosa Center, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa and our team of Boston, MA aesthetic injectors offer BOTOX wrinkle relaxers as a standalone treatment or as a complement to your other aesthetic treatments and/or previous cosmetic surgeries.

What's included in a facelift?

Generally speaking, facelift surgery helps to improve the appearance of:

• Drooping jowls
• Lumpy jawline
• Hollow cheeks
• Loose skin
• Deep lines and wrinkles
• Nasolabial folds
• Downturned mouth
• Sad, tired, or angry appearance overall

One of the reasons BOTOX can be particularly beneficial after facelift surgery is that a facelift primarily lifts and tightens the skin and underlying layers of tissue and muscle, especially in the lower two-thirds of the face. However, some types of facial lines and wrinkles — like dynamic lines on the forehead — are not addressed by traditional facelift surgery.

Will I still need BOTOX after facelift surgery?

Depending on what type of facial enhancement surgery you have, as well as what areas of the face are addressed during your procedure, you may still want to continue BOTOX injections to keep other areas — like the forehead and Crow’s feet — smooth.

Why should I get BOTOX after a facelift?

There are several ways that BOTOX can help to enhance and elevate your facelift results, which leads many patients to start or continue BOTOX injections alongside and following their facelift surgery. Some of the most exciting reasons to consider BOTOX after your facelift include:

• Smooth out expressive lines that remain after a facelift
• Create a smoother, more even skin texture across the entirety of the face
• Keep your look more consistently smooth and youthful
