8-Point Face Lift vs. Surgical Face Lift: Which Is Right for You?

Table of Contents

Aging brings changes to our skin and facial structure, leading to sagging, volume loss, and deepening lines. If you’re considering facial rejuvenation, you may be torn between a non-surgical 8-Point Face Lift and a traditional surgical facelift. While both options offer impressive results, they cater to different needs and lifestyles. At Elite Aesthetics, we help you make the best choice for your goals.

Understanding the 8-Point Face Lift

The 8-Point Face Lift is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that restores volume and lifts facial contours using dermal fillers. This technique was pioneered by Dr. Mauricio de Maio to provide a natural, youthful lift without the need for surgery.

Key Benefits of the 8-Point Face Lift

✔ Non-surgical & minimally invasive – No incisions, general anaesthesia, or lengthy recovery. ✔ Subtle & natural results – Enhances your natural features without looking “overdone.” ✔ Quick procedure with little downtime – Takes just 30-45 minutes, with most patients returning to daily activities immediately. ✔ Long-lasting but reversible – Results can last up to 18 months, with the option to tweak or adjust over time. ✔ Customisable to your facial structure – Tailored to each patient for a bespoke, balanced look.

What Is a Surgical Face Lift?

A surgical facelift is a more invasive procedure that removes excess skin, tightens muscles, and repositions facial tissue to restore a youthful appearance. While highly effective, it requires anaesthesia, incisions, and significant recovery time.

Key Benefits of a Surgical Face Lift

✔ Dramatic, long-term results – Addresses deeper wrinkles and significant sagging. ✔ Permanent improvements – Lasts 10+ years, making it a long-term solution. ✔ Redefines facial contours – Particularly beneficial for severe skin laxity.

Comparing the Two Procedures

Feature 8-Point Face Lift Surgical Face Lift
Procedure Type Non-surgical Surgical
Recovery Time Minimal – resume activities same day 2-4 weeks
Anaesthesia Not required General or local anaesthesia
Results Immediate, improving over days Gradual as swelling reduces
Longevity 12-18 months 10+ years
Best For Mild to moderate sagging, volume loss Severe sagging, deep wrinkles
Risk Level Low Higher due to surgery risks

Which Option Is Right for You?

The choice between an 8-Point Face Lift and a surgical facelift depends on your individual needs and preferences:

  • If you want a subtle, refreshed look with minimal downtime, the 8-Point Face Lift is ideal.
  • If you have severe sagging and want long-term correction, a surgical facelift may be the better choice.

At Elite Aesthetics, we offer expert guidance to help you determine the best treatment for your aesthetic goals.

Read How I Improved My Lichen Sclerosus

Had a consultation with Elite yesterday, I must say I was a bit nervous, but Dr Shirin was so friendly and helpful.
I was given lots of advice and was given treatment options that were within my budget.
A few weeks after the P Shot I've really started to see a difference and have gained my confidence back.

Thank You!

Elite is an outstanding professional clinic with high standard treatments. All the staff members are friendly and offer you honest opinions when it comes to products and treatments. This is a welcoming clinic that I can 100% recommend. Treatments are spoken through and explained in detail, also aftercare. I have been going nearly a year now and am happy with all the treatments I’ve had, wouldn't go anywhere else. The Bocox treatment started to work within a few days, which I was surprised about. So glad I went to Elite for treatment.

 

HV

Thank you Dr Shirin, the O Shot has really helped me with my Lichen Sclerosus. I'd heard about the treatment on the LS Facebook Groups and message a few people that had treatment with Dr Shirin. I was like many in the group who had run out of treatment options and using creams on a daily basis. I have to say a few months after treatment, I can see a real positive change and I'm hoping my LS will continue to improve. Dr Shirin did say that I might have to have a second treatment given how severe my case is.

thank you again for my follow up appointment to make sure i was ok and there was no life changing affects from the mess I had done else where how a midwife and beautician can inject and leave customers the way they did is unreal the mess my lips where in and the amount of lumps left was so bad and although there still not perfect Dr shirin managed to massage a lot of the lumps out so not only has she done my previous practitioners job with that but she also cares about the wellbeing of her customers I just wish I had got to Dr shirin to start with con not thank her enough
