What is a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift, or a non-surgical or injectable facelift, is a minimally invasive procedure using dermal fillers to lift, volumize, and rejuvenate the face. Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm may be injected with neuromodulators (substances that relax the facial muscles), such as BOTOX, to achieve the ideal outcome. Unlike surgical facelifts involving incisions and downtime, a liquid facelift offers a non-invasive alternative to smooth the skin and enhance facial contours without surgery.

Targeted Facial Rejuvenation

The liquid facelift can be used to address and enhance specific areas of the face, including:

  • Cheeks: Dermal fillers can restore lost volume to the cheeks, lifting drooping skin and enhancing facial contours.
  • Jawline: Neuromodulators like BOTOX can relax the muscles in the jawline, reducing the appearance of a heavy jawline to create a more feminine, V-shaped, defined jawline.
  • Nasal area: Dermal fillers can fill in deep lines around the nose and mouth, softening the appearance of facial folds.
  • Temples: Dermal fillers can add volume to hollow temples, rejuvenating the upper face and creating a more youthful look.
  • Under-eye area: Under-eye bags or a sunken look can be subtly enhanced with precision filler injections.

What Is the Procedure?

Dr. Anu Antony will begin your liquid facelift treatment at the Antony Institute by conducting a comprehensive consultation to understand your concerns and goals. Based on the results you wish to achieve, she will create a customized treatment plan using a combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulators to address your concerns. The products are then strategically injected into the targeted areas of the face using a fine needle. Topical anesthetics will help ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Depending on the selected areas to address, the process may last about an hour with minimum downtime afterward. Dr. Antony will provide personalized guidance on maintaining your results.

Rapid Results, Long-Lasting Radiance

Following your liquid facelift, you can expect to see immediate improvements. However, optimal results will become apparent over the following days as any puffiness or redness subsides. The results of a liquid facelift typically last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the injectables used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle habits. 

Minimal Downtime & Quick Recovery

One of the key advantages of the liquid facelift is its minimal downtime and quick recovery. While some minor swelling, bruising, or redness may occur immediately following the procedure, these side effects typically subside within a few days. Liquid facelifts do not require bandages or prolonged recovery time. You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for the first week, but you can typically resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Liquid Vs. Surgical The Best Facelift for You

When considering facelift options, it’s essential to understand when a surgical facelift or a liquid facelift would be most appropriate. A surgical facelift is typically recommended for individuals with severe skin laxity or excess skin, as it can provide more dramatic and long-lasting results. This procedure involves incisions, anesthesia, and a period of downtime for recovery but produces long-term results.

A liquid facelift offers a non-invasive alternative for those seeking to address mild to moderate signs of tired skin, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. Dr. Antony specializes in surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques and can provide personalized recommendations based on your unique concerns and goals.
