Thermage vs Facelift

I'm a 58 y/o w/w with a thin long face. I have significant nasolabial and marionette lines along with dropping jowls. I've seen before and after pic's showing the amazing differance thermage can make. But I've read that it's mainly for the younger patient that's just starting to get slight drooping in the neck and jowls. Do you think I'd be wasteing my money on trying thermage before getting a facelift

hi sharon,
tough to say without a picture.
if you'd like you can send one to arivkin@westsidemedicalspa.com
thermage may not be a great idea for you if you have anything more than minimal loose skin.
cheers,
