What is a liquid facelift?

35 year old blonde woman with clean fresh face and hands with long hair We all have flaws we wish we could get rid of – maybe you wish you could get rid of wrinkles and sagging skin, but you have your doubts about a facelift or other plastic surgery procedure. A liquid facelift may be the answer – read on for some information about what this procedure includes and how it can help you!

The Liquid Facelift Procedure

In a liquid facelift, a combination of fillers is used to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. One filler may be used to add volume where you want it, while another can be injected to tone up sagging skin and erase fine lines and wrinkles.

Unlike a plastic surgery procedure, liquid facelifts are noninvasive. This means less downtime – many patients have fillers injected on their lunch hour and then get right back to work – but it is also a lot less painful and it costs a lot less than surgery.

The fillers used are safe and effective. You may see the benefits of a liquid facelift for up to 2 years, and it is a quick and easy process to get touch-ups if you need them. Most patients report very little pain, if any, although there may be some swelling and bruising at the injection site.

What Fillers Are Used in a Liquid Facelift?

You and your doctor will discuss what results you would like to see from your liquid facelift, and from there your doctor will suggest a combination of the best fillers for you. For instance, Restylane can add volume to the skin while also correcting “laugh lines” around the mouth and other wrinkles. Juvéderm can help to reduce wrinkles and keep skin looking young and refreshed, and Radiesse can help to remove wrinkles but also provides contour to the face.

These fillers are all safe and FDA approved, and patients love them!

There are many benefits to a liquid facelift, perhaps the biggest of which is that you’ll see amazing results without the downtime, hassle, and expense of surgery. Contact Mao Facial Plastic Surgery in Orange, Connecticut, to discuss a liquid facelift. Call (203) 907-0501 today!

Facial Plastic Surgery Questions

Dr. Mao will listen to your concerns, examine your facial anatomy, and discuss surgical and non-surgical options suited to your goals. You will leave with a clear understanding of what to expect.
Facial plastic surgery focuses on procedures of the face, head, and neck — both cosmetic procedures like facelift and rhinoplasty and reconstructive treatments for functional concerns.
Recovery varies by procedure and by patient. Some non-surgical treatments involve little or no downtime. After surgery, the time needed to return to work or routine activities may range from several days to several weeks, while swelling, incision healing, and final results can continue to improve for weeks or months. During your consultation, Dr. Mao will explain the expected recovery timeline, activity restrictions, and follow-up care for the procedure being considered.
Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and have specific concerns they would like addressed. A consultation is the best way to find out.
