Introduction to Liquid Facelift

Restore youthful balance and lift without surgery. A liquid facelift combines advanced dermal fillers and injectables to smooth wrinkles, enhance contours, and rejuvenate your appearance with minimal downtime.

What is Liquid Facelift?

Liquid facelift, or non-surgical facelift, is an injectable procedure designed to non-surgically rejuvenate the midface including the eyes and cheeks, jawline, and neck areas. Youthful faces commonly follow a more inverted pyramid appearance that includes good cheek and jaw definition. With the aging process, gravity forces over time flip the pyramid and bring about jowling (sagging of skin below the jawline) with decreased jaw definition, increased neck skin laxity, and neck muscle banding. It is important for patients interested in the liquid facelift procedure to understand that injectable procedures only help temporarily hide or soften these issues, as the skin and soft tissue changes in the midface, lower face, and neck can be most dramatically addressed with surgery. Therefore, the liquid facelift is not equivalent to facelift and neck lift surgery in terms of expected results. The liquid facelift procedure requires the expertise of an experienced injector who is a face specialist. Dr. Ho specializes in aging face procedures and performs each liquid facelift according to the anatomic findings and surgical goals of the individual patient.

Each liquid facelift procedure is different and catered to the individual patient in terms of how much filler product is needed and where the filler is injected. Therefore, the extent of swelling and bruising that occurs after liquid facelift will vary by patient. There may be swelling or bruising at the injection sites or in the treated areas that is most often mild to moderate. Given that several syringes of filler are typically pursued in a liquid facelift procedure, significant post-treatment bruising and swelling is also possible and not overly concerning. Swelling and bruising is managed well with icing and head elevation for the first two days after the procedure. Bruised injection sites can be covered with concealer makeup as soon as 24 hours following the procedure. Patients should also avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 24 hours. Post-treatment pain is usually not significant and may be managed with Tylenol as needed. The results of liquid facelift are typically observed immediately or after most of the immediate swelling has subsided. It is not uncommon for slight asymmetries to be observed initially that usually resolve by two weeks out when the treatment product has settled out and is in maximal effect. Dr. Ho seeks follow-up with her patients two weeks after each liquid facelift procedure to ensure that every patient is satisfied with their treatment outcome.

Depending on the type of product used and the amount of filler injected, the duration of effect from a liquid facelift may last 1 to 2 years with need for maintenance touch-up treatments every 3-6 months.

Dr. Ho performs liquid facelift in a variety of patients. Older patients who experience loss of volume as well as soft tissue descent due to gravity effects in the face with aging often benefit from liquid facelift for facial rejuvenation. The ideal candidate for the liquid facelift procedure is a healthy non-smoker patient who has no remarkable medical or surgical history, and does not take blood-thinning medications. They also demonstrate realistic expectations regarding treatment results associated with liquid facelift and a commitment to maintenance procedures. Patients with moderate to significant skin and soft tissue laxity in the midface, lower face, and neck areas will see more improvement with facelift and/or neck lift surgery. A patient who is not a facelift surgery candidate for medical reasons may qualify for the liquid facelift procedure instead.

it is common for other procedures to be performed at the same time as the liquid facelift procedure or at a different visit to maximize facial rejuvenation, depending on the patient’s anatomic issues and treatment goals. They include but are not limited to thread lifting, laser resurfacing, microneedling, and radiofrequency procedures. Dr. Ho is experienced in a wide range of aging face procedures and will thoroughly evaluate each liquid facelift candidate and discuss with them whether they would benefit from adjunct rejuvenation procedures.

Liquid facelift is an appealing non-surgical treatment option for aging patients as it is less invasive and involves less risks and downtime compared to surgery. While the liquid facelift procedure helps restore volume and definition to the face, moderate to significant skin laxity in the midface, lower face, and neck can only be definitively improved with surgery. Facelift surgery redrapes and resuspends the skin and deeper tissues of the face and neck to restore a more youthful appearance. Surgery usually achieves more permanent results and may be considered advantageous from a long-term cost benefit analysis when compared against repeated injectable treatments. Dr. Ho is experienced in both liquid facelift and facelift surgery will discuss with each patient the best treatment approach that meets their aesthetic goals.
