What is a Liquid Facelift

In the past, only a traditional facelift could restore the balance of a youthful face, but Dr. Lee now offers a liquid alternative.

Deep wrinkles, smile lines, hollowed out eyes and loss of fat in the cheeks can all be corrected with the right filler, or combination of fillers, and Botox. By using a combination of injectables to plump, fill, and smooth deep lines and wrinkles, the patient achieves a youthful appearance with immediate results and no downtime.

A liquid facelift targets the following:

Frown lines and brow:

Botox will be injected between the patient’s brows to reduce muscle contractions that lead to vertical lines. Additionally, this injection can lend a subtle lifting effect by reducing the downward pull of the depressor muscles.

Crow’s feet:

Botox will be injected around your eyes to prevent the muscle contractions that cause crow’s feet.

Cheek area:

Juvederm will be injected to provide cheek enhancement by restoring volume and creating lift.

Smile lines:

Injections of Radiesse and Restylane are used to fill and to plump the nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth restoring youthful volume.

Jawline:

Radiesse or Kybella is injected to add definition to the jawline and address mildly sagging skin by restoring volume.

Liquid facelift benefits include:

  • Restoring volume to the face to create a more youthful look
  • Gently lifting and softening of the facial features
  • Reducing wrinkles, creases, lines or folds
  • Restoring natural, curved facial contours
  • Creating a more refreshed, energetic look
  • Plumping hollowed features of the face as a result of aging
  • Masking under eye bags and dark circles
  • Lifting eyelids and opening up the eyes
  • Lifting and reducing the appearance of jowls
  • Restoring the natural shape to flattened cheeks
  • Lifting the corners of the mouth
  • Filling in bumps and irregularities on the nose
