Question

I'm 30, I want to have a face lift but I have acne problems and scarring ... please what shall I do ... and how much is the cost in my situation? On the other hand I would prefer not to have surgery.

Answer

The best approach is to start with the consultation. There are ways to improve the appearance of the face without a facelift, and acne scarring lends itself to a number of options that include surface treatment of volume augmentation. Combinations of these options can also bring additional benefits.

Without actually seeing you, it is impossible to be specific regarding the treatment, and therefore there is not much purpose in outlining the cost, since I do not know what would be the better options for you.
