What a Nonsurgical Facelift Means

A clinic advertises a nonsurgical facelift, and the phrase sounds like one procedure when it may not be.

This page defines the term and points to the sources behind it for readers in Rye.

What the term covers

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says a nonsurgical facelift is a combination of minimally invasive and nonsurgical procedures, designed to rejuvenate and refresh the appearance. The society's own page asks what a nonsurgical facelift is and is worth reading in full.

What that means when you read a quote

Because the phrase names a combination, a quote under that name should list its parts. Ask for each procedure by name so you can look each one up separately.

When to hand it to a clinician

This page cannot tell you whether a change after any of these procedures is serious. If something looks or feels wrong, the person who performed the procedure is your first call. For a second description of the options, a hospital system covers what a nonsurgical facelift is, with options and benefits.
