What is a Liquid Facelift?

As we age, our face can begin to lose collagen and elastin, resulting in lines, wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin. The fat pads of the cheek begin to fall and lose volume, resulting in folds between the edge of the nose and the corner of the mouth, known as nasolabial folds. The appearance of facial volume loss often starts to become apparent in the late 30’s and early 40’s. For those who are not ready to undergo a surgical procedure such as a facelift, a liquid facelift may be the answer. A liquid facelift (sometimes called soft tissue augmentation) is a facial rejuvenation cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to contour and lift the facial features for a more youthful appearance without the need to go under the knife with a surgical facelift.

Who is a Candidate?

Individuals who are looking to accomplish a gentle lift of overall facial features, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, or folds, or restore a more rested, energetic, and friendlier appearance can often benefit from liquid facelifts. The procedure can also help to make the appearance of the lower lids more youthful. You should also have realistic expectations of the results the procedure can achieve. The best way to determine if a liquid face lift is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sweat, his nurse practitioner, or a member of the nursing staff.

I'm so happy I chose to go with Dr. Sweat. I love my new body! The staff is always so friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back in for injections soon!

The Procedure

A liquid facelift involves the use of dermal fillers, sometimes in combination with Botox, to create a more youthful facial appearance. The Botox will be injected into the facial muscles to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. The fillers may include Juvéderm Vollure, Juvéderm Voluma, Juvéderm Volbella, and Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus. Each of these fillers works in their own unique way to rejuvenate different areas of the face. Some will reduce wrinkles like frown lines or smile lines, while others plump lips and create more youthful contours to provide harmony to your facial anatomy.

Created with hyaluronic acid, they work to bind moisture to the skin to create youthful volume. It will mimic hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in your facial skin. Unlike some types of dermal fillers, hyaluronic-acid-based fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if there are any issues or dissatisfaction with the results.

The Results

Because dermal fillers and injectables are nonsurgical treatments, there is little to no downtime required following a liquid facelift. Mild signs of redness, swelling, bruising, or itching at the injection site may occur but should resolve quickly. Most people return immediately to their normal activities, though light activity for 24 hours following the injections is recommended. Your recovery will be much shorter than what you would expect with surgical facelifts.

The longevity of your liquid facelift will depend on the combination of fillers used.
