The Liquid Facelift: A liquid facelift is a procedure in which facial fillers, such as restylane, (dermal fillers) juvederm, or radiesse, are injected into the face to add fullness and the appearance of a lift. The procedure helps the jowls and cheeks if there is only early to moderate facial aging. It does not help the neck, sagging skin, or loose muscles. It is most useful for patients under 50 years of age. Hope this helps!

Injection: A liquid facelift is the injection of various facial fillers and botox. It can be helpful for younger patients but does not equate a real facelift in results.

Injectables: This phrase is referring to utilizing injectables to create a lifted look. Facial aging includes volume loss and sagging which is enhanced by depressor muscles. These aspects are treated with volume replacement (hyaluronic acids, calcium hydroxyapatite, l poly lactic acid), and neurotoxins to relax depressor muscles ( corrugator, orbicularis oculi, dao, and platysma). I use these concepts daily.

Remarkable results: Liquid facelift is a grouping of injectable products that smooth, lift and contour the face. Botox will soften the forehead lines and overactive muscles, while radiesse, (dermal fillers) a calcium based product can rebuild the cheek bone area and fill the middle face and jaw line. Juvederm or expression are plumpers to fill and contour the mouth. Used together the results are amazing. www.artofplasticsurgery.co.

Liquid Facelift: A liquid facelift essentially uses fillers and botox/dysport to restore the volume of your face lost by the aging process. It does not take the place of a facelift but beneficiallly adds to the final result.

Fillers and Botox: The idea behind a 'liquid facelift' is that it is possible to obtain rejuvenation of the face through the use of volumizing agents and neurotoxins. Conceptually, there is truth to this but there is a fairly significant problem practically. The volumes necessary make the price of a 'liquid facelift' more than a surgical facelift. Plus, the results only last at most 2 years.

Liquid Facelift: Liquid facelift is a non-surgical alternative to plastic surgery. This procedure is more suitable for patients who want subtle cosmetic enhancement or simply don't want to undergo surgery. This procedure can smooth out lines and wrinkles around the face, including between the brows and the nose and mouth.

Non-surgical: a liquid facelift utilizes a variety of nerve blockers and fillers to accomplish a month-surgical rejuvenation of the face. Botox and other chemo-debeecatukn agents are used to finishe the wrinkle that are caused by muscle action (frown lines, crows feet, forehead creases, etc) whereas fillers are used to fill hollows or depressions or create fullness of the cheeks, temples, smile lines, etc.

Liquid facelift?: This is where "fillers" are injected into the cheek / malar region usually to fill / plump out this region. This in turn lifts / pulls the naso-labial fold smoother.

Injectibles: Good afternoon! A "liquid facelift" simply means using a combination of injectible filling agents to help add volume to areas lacking in the face, coupled with agents such as Botox that temporarily block the bodies ability to use facial muscles. It is quick and done in the office without general anesthesia with essentially no downtime. It is not a substitute for a surgical facelift.

Liquid Facelift: As we age, most patients loose volume in the face. The bones begin to shrink, fat shifts and resorbs, resulting in the skin sagging. Restoring volume to the face can have a great rejuvenating effect. Initially doctors would use fillers to treat fine lines. As filler technology improved, fillers began being used to help restore youthful fullness to the face. Often 4-12 cc of filler may be used.

Usage of fillers: this is just a catchy name to say that fillers are used to replenish the face and give a more youthful look. En giving more volume to the face or getting rid of lines gives an illusion of a lift but it is temporary! Unlike a surgical facelift.
