Radiesse would be one option for filling up pleating defects from a facelift by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle: Radiesse would be one option for filling up pleating defects from a facelift. The other option includes carrying out a revision of the facelift to better drape the facial skin. This results from more pulling on the skin and is less likely to occur with more deeper plane lifts that pull up the muscle instead of skin. Instead of Radiesse, fat injections are a great option to consider for pleating skin. Another newer option is the YoungVitalizer, the breakthrough Incision Less Face Lift. This would be a way to improve the pleating and also a way to avoid a face lift altogether. Here is a video on the YoungVolumizer, our previous name for the YoungVitalizer.
