We hear this all the time:
“Do I need filler… or do I need a facelift?”
Here’s the honest breakdown ⬇️
✨ Filler
Filler is about volume.
As we age, we lose fat and structure in the face — cheeks flatten, temples hollow, folds deepen. Filler helps replace what was lost and restore balance.
It works best when:
• The skin is still fairly firm
• You’re seeing hollowness, not sagging
• You want subtle lift and contour, not tightening
✨ A facelift
A facelift is about skin and tissue laxity.
Over time, gravity does its thing. Skin stretches. Tissues drop. No amount of filler can truly “lift” loose skin — and overfilling to try usually creates heaviness, not youthfulness.
A facelift addresses:
• Skin laxity
• Tissue descent
• Jawline and neck sagging
• Overall skin draping
✨ The truth no one tells you
Filler doesn’t replace a facelift.
A facelift doesn’t replace filler.
They do different jobs — and the most natural results come from knowing when to use which, and when less is more.
At R&R, our goal is never to push treatment — it’s to choose the right one for your face, your skin, and your stage of life 🤍
If you’ve ever felt confused, overwhelmed, or unsure what you actually need… you’re not alone. That’s exactly why consultations matter. # #
