Facial Balancing: Can Injectables Help You Put Off a Facelift?

Can fillers and Botox really delay the need for a facelift, or is that just marketing? Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Weiler and expert injector Taylor Bech break down the real anatomy of facial aging, who's actually a good candidate for injectables vs. surgery, how deep plane facelift techniques have evolved, and why Botox is a lifelong commitment no matter what else you do.
