The Liquid Facelift
Published on June 6, 2016 by FACEOLOGYMDOver the years, skin loses its elasticity becoming saggy, worn and tired looking. In the face, this can be seen most often in the cheeks as well as the nasal passages as they fold downwards, giving way to the appearance of wrinkles and smile lines.
Typically, a surgical facelift is the procedure most surgeons would turn to in order to correct this, but what if there was a procedure that could restore the youthful appearance to your skin? If you are in search of a procedure with all the effects of a facelift without the downtime, then a liquid facelift may be the perfect solution for you!
The Liquid Facelift utilizes Botox and other dermal fillers to decrease wrinkles and plump up the skin from underneath. This will restore it to a more youthful appearance by eliminating wrinkles and lifting creases such as along the marionette (smile) lines. The injections can be put in throughout the mid-face and over the cheekbones along with the jowls, volumizing and lifting the skin to reveal a refreshed and youthful look.. These fillers are easily administered and last about a year. Dr. Lee will then apply another filler to the area just below the eyes, which will effectively reduce a puffy or inflated appearance. Lastly, one final set of Botox is applied to the forehead in order to remove deep wrinkles.
Those seeking to undergo a liquid facelift are most often middle aged men and women who are looking to contour facial features such as crows feat, smile lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, as well as eliminate a generally aged appearance. The process can vary, but on average a liquid facelift procedure tends to last anywhere from about fifteen to thirty minutes. It is also not a permanent solution to the problems you may be experiencing and will have to be maintained at certain intervals.
Additionally, as it is nonsurgical procedure, a liquid facelift has very minimal recovery time as opposed to a regular facelift, which is known to have downtime lasting up to a few weeks. It is important to speak with Dr. Lee so he can help customize your anti-aging efforts for maximum, long term results.
