The liquid facelift is done by placing Juvederm and Voluma in areas of the face that have lost volume. Sagging can be helped. Areas treated are sunken temples, cheekbone areas, nasolabial folds, Marionette lines, and of course lips.
Filler substances are somewhat expensivew and a fair bit is needed. Cost ranges upon need and the range is $3500 to $6000. Recovery is quite quick and you can go back to work in a day or two with some makeup to cover minor bruising.
Pain is almost non existent and aspirin or ibuprofen are all that is needed. This is a great lift and very common in both younger and older patients.
After treatment you could expect temporary stinging, throbbing, burning sensation, redness, swelling, bruising, and excess fullness.
Puffiness may last several weeks, while redness may last about 24-48 hours and bruising may persist up to a week depending on injection site.
Go to an experienced injector, one who can offer Sculptura, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Belotero, and a big injection background. Also, a surgical alternative as some things are surgery requiring, and not volume related. If it is just loose muscles, or laxity, a filler may not be appropriate.
A liquid facelift refers to the use of fillers and Botox to relax facial muscles and add volume to the face. Because this cosmetic procedure does not require going “under the knife”, there aren’t many adverse side effects as long as it is done by a qualified, experienced professional.
The term liquid facelift refers to rejuvenation of the face using injectables, especially volume replacement agents. As we age our faces lose soft tissue volume and replacing this volume helps create a more youthful appearance in a way that surgery and other procedures do not.
There are of course risks to every procedure and I strongly encourage you to discuss these at length with the physician you choose to perform your injections.
Not everyone is a good candidate for liquid facelifting and you should inquire about home good a candidate you are for this procedure.
When one adds a neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport, one can further enhance the results.
A liquid facelift is a fantastic way to rejuvenate the face without surgery. It involves using Botox and dermal fillers to treat fine lines, wrinkles and areas of the face which appear deflated or flat due to age.
A liquid facelift can make you appear much more youthful and the result is almost immediate. It may take only a few days for you to see the final result. The side effects are the same side effects that can occur with any Botox or dermal filler treatment.
As we age our face actually gets smaller and flatter. The bony prominences receed, leaving less “face” for the skin to drape over. Injecting soft tissue augmentation (Fat, Radiesse, BellaFill, Voluma, Sculptra) recreates the face so that the skin is lifted up like it was before.
With the addition of skin tightening before the soft tissue augmentation, we can take 5-10 years off of your appearance.
Liquid facelifts refer to the use of fillers and toxins to replenish lost volume and diminish the appearance of wrinkles. Fillers can include Juvederm, Voluma, Sculptra, Restylane,etc and can be artfully injected into the face.
Also neurotoxins such as Botox or Xeomin are used to help reduce the appearance and development of wrinkles. I would consult with a qualified physician for a full consultation.
Liquid facelift involves using Botox and fillers to treat wrinkles and add volume where needed. These temporary treatments make the face more youthful. Side effects include bumps, droopy eyelid, and bruising.
The other lines and folds around the mouth and nose can be softened with filler injections, like Juvederm, Restylane or Radiesse. Juvederm Voluma helps volumize the cheeks and Sculptra is useful for filling out hollowing in the temples and cheeks.
Possible side effects of any injection will apply (i.e. swelling, bruising, etc.). Results can be long lasting depending upon doses and amounts of the products injected-anywhere from 6-18 months. Be sure to have an in office consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is well versed with a variety of products.
A liquid facelift usually refers to an injection into the face to create more volume and produce some lifting of the lower face. There are a variety of fillers that could be used, including Radiesse, Voluma, Sculptra and Bellafill.
Sculptra is really the only true liquid of the fillers mentioned. There are potential side effects with any procedure, including filler injections. Bruising, swelling, redness and bumps are some of the potential adverse events that could occur.
I would consult with a doctor who is experienced with filler injections to get more comprehensive advice.
