Facelift vs. Fillers: Which Is Right for You? 💉✨
In her latest TikTok, Dr. Lara Devgan breaks down the real differences between a traditional facelift and injectable fillers, helping patients make an informed choice:
✅ Facelift (Surgical):
Structural lift: Targets sagging skin, deep nasolabial folds, jawline laxity, and neck bands with precision.
Long-lasting results: Addresses true tissue descent—results endure for years.
Downtime required: Recovery can span several weeks, with swelling and bruising expected.
💉 Fillers (Non‑Surgical):
Volume-focused: Restores lost fullness in cheeks, jawline, chin, and temples.
Quick & convenient: Immediate results with minimal downtime—back to life in a day.
Temporary effects: Typically last 6–18 months and can be reversed if desired.
Ideal for contouring: Great for subtle profile balancing—non-surgical rhinoplasty, chin/jaw tweaks, and mid‑face lifting.
🎯 Dr. Devgan’s Bottom Line:
Fillers are perfect for minor asymmetries, enhancing contours, and a “test‑drive” of results. A facelift is the gold standard when there’s significant skin and tissue sagging that can’t be corrected with volume alone. Both approaches shine under the hands of a skilled specialist who prioritizes facial harmony.
This breakdown echoes Dr. Devgan’s clear, no-nonsense approach: choose fillers for subtle sculpting and minimal downtime—but go surgical when true lifting is needed.
