Every year, we experience a large number of medical tourism in India for facelift surgery as we have some of the best cosmetic surgery centers in Delhi, Bombay, Chennai and Hyderabad. They are known to provide the best treatments with high success rates. With advanced machines and experienced doctors facelift surgery has gained a new level in India.

For many years, Botox has been the main element in the Facelift Surgery. But with the occurrence of dermal fillers the doctors has discovered new ways to approach the treatment. It is first important to understand the nature and procedure of both the elements, and then only we can understand the advantages of one over the other. Moreover, the patient must be aware of what he or she wants to achieve through the surgery before choosing a treatment.

Botox is a kind of bacteria, scientifically known as botulinum toxin. It has proved to treat frown lines, chronic headaches, paralysis and profuse sweating. But it has a big disadvantage with it, that is, if consumed more than necessary it can cause some serious damage to the person. In small amounts it can really beneficial but one wrong step and it can lead a person to his/her doom. That’s why you must look for an experienced and specialized surgeon to perform the surgery.

On the other hand, fillers are used for many cosmetic purposes like plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, improve the appearance of recessed scars, reconstruct contour deformities in the face, decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids. They have two main advantages over botox facelift. They are,• They are safer to use and have lesser complications• Where Botox only work on wrinkles or lines that are not that deeply embedded into the skin, dermal fillers are used to plump even the deepest of the lines. Botox is injected in small amounts by the surgeon into the patient’s skin. Its purpose is to temporarily paralyze face muscles and reduce gland activities, which in turn reduces the signs of aging. The person needs to get these injections after every few months to maintain the younger look. Most of the people who went through the botox facelift surgery has reported to go back to their normal lives within a day and did not experience any discomfort. The rare amount of patients that did feel slightly uncomfortable recovered quickly after simple medication.

Where botox is used to reduce the appearance of frown lines through reducing gland activities, dermal fillers reduces the appearance of aging scars through plumping up the area. Both of the treatments work on different principles and show different results. Talk to your doctor and explain him about your expectation from the surgery so he/she can recommend the best treatment for you.
