+1 I’d also get a deep plane face lift and an upper bleph. |

I'm 55 as well, and have never had anything. Looking into botox and fillers, and thinking about a bleph as well -- not even sure if an upper or lower bleph would be best. So need to find someone great to have a consult with. |

OP, what work you need will depend entirely on the specific issues you are facing. Many people are suggesting surgery because at a certain point it's the only thing that is going to make a significant difference. Many people waste a lot of money on non surgical procedures that don't make a lasting difference. That money may have been better spent on a facelift. Do you have wrinkles that can be addressed with Botox? Did you lose weight in the face and want fillers and/or Sculptra? Do you have discoloration, scars, etc that should be addressed with laser? Do you already use retinol or tretinoin? I'd spend quite a bit of time online educating yourself on what the various options are before booking any procedures. The problem with the industry is that if you go to a medspa they will sell you the specific treatments they offer. If you go to a plastic surgeon they will say surgery is the only answer. If you only have a hammer, etc. FWIW, I personally tried a Botox brow lift and loved the result but after two injector sessions decided to just spend the money on an upper bleph. It works out cheaper in the long run. I liked CO2 laser results but felt it was expensive and won't do it again. I tried a vampire facial and didn't see much in the way of results. I'm only in my 40's and YMMV. |

| Botox for 11s and side of eyes for several years to prevent wrinkles getting deeper. Deep plane lower face and necklift with upper bleph at age 53… I know you said non surgical, but I didn't want to throw money at short lasting/snake oil treatments and I don't like the way filler looks. Things I talked about with surgeon but declined after researching: fat grafting to upper checks and chin, brow lift, CO2 laser resurfacing. This was not in DC and although the recovery was a lot, I’m happy with the results and look like myself but don’t hate my neck anymore |

Would you mind sharing your doctor for the bolded procedures? Even if they're not in the DC area. TIA! DP |
