Answer

A surgical facelift is a procedure that tightens underlying tissues and removes excess skin to provide long-lasting facial rejuvenation, while a non-surgical facelift uses treatments like fillers, threads, or energy-based devices to improve appearance without surgery. Surgical results are more dramatic and longer lasting.

Key differences between surgical and non-surgical facelift:

Involves incisions and tissue repositioning

Uses injectables or energy-based treatments

Removes excess skin

Does not remove skin

Results last 5–10 years
