Is it true that everyone who has had a complete facelift no longer suffer from acne?

No: This is a myth; everyone who has had a complete facelift no longer suffers from acne. Acne involves the superficial layers of the skin, sebacious glands or oil glands of the skin. Facelift surgical planes are much deeper in the fatty tissues well below the level of the sebacious glands.

No: Unfortunately, that's a myth. Facelift surgery doesn't cure acne.

Nope!: Facelifts can be used to reduce the deep pitting caused by severe acne, but only after the acne is under control.

No.: A facelift is an operation that resuspends the soft tissue of the face. It is not known to be a treatment for acne.
