What is a Liquid Facelift?
Our face can lose collagen and elastin as we age, 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. Facial volume loss often becomes apparent in the late 30’s and early 40’s. A liquid facelift may be the answer for those not ready to undergo a surgical procedure such as a facelift. 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?
Liquid facelifts are often beneficial for individuals looking to accomplish a gentle lift of overall facial features, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, or folds, or restore a more rested and smooth skin texture. The procedure can also help make the lower lids appear more youthful. You should also have realistic expectations of the results the procedure can achieve. The best way to determine if a liquid facelift is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sweat, his nurse practitioner, or a nursing staff member.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the right age for a liquid facelift, as it depends on individual skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Many patients consider a liquid facelift in their late 20s to 30s as a preventative, minimally invasive measure to maintain youthful skin or address early signs of aging like fine lines and volume loss.
For others, their 40s or 50s may be the ideal time to explore this treatment, as it can help restore lost volume and smooth deeper wrinkles without surgery. Ultimately, the right age varies based on skin elasticity, lifestyle, and personal preferences. During a consultation, Dr. Sweat will evaluate your skin’s condition and discuss your goals to determine if a liquid facelift is the best option.

The Procedure
A liquid facelift uses dermal fillers, sometimes combined with Botox, to create a more youthful facial appearance. Created with hyaluronic acid, liquid facelift fillers bind moisture to the skin to create youthful volume. It will mimic hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in your facial skin. Unlike some dermal fillers, hyaluronic-acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if there are any issues or dissatisfaction with the results. The fillers may include Juvéderm Vollure, Juvéderm Voluma, Juvéderm Volbella, and Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus.
The Benefits
of a Liquid Facelift
Along with enhancing facial anatomy and contours, the liquid facelift offers various benefits to fine lines and wrinkles by using a combination of hyaluronic acid-based fillers and neuromodulators.
The Results
Because dermal fillers and injectables are nonsurgical treatments, little to no downtime is 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 normal activities, though light activity for 24 hours after the injections is recommended. Your recovery will be much shorter than what you would expect with surgical facelifts.
