Liquid Facelift a Great Alternative to Surgery
By Dr. Samia Turner
A new term coming up in the media concerning facial aesthetics is the “Liquid Lift.” This refers to the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dermal Fillers to improve the look of facial lines and contour.
This safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgery is most attractive to patients because there is virtually no down time. Experienced physicians can “sculpt” the face using dermal fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, etc.) to dramatically improve “laugh lines,” “marionette lines,” “frown lines,” “jowls” and more in about an hour in the office.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is used to weaken the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. These combined procedures can be performed in a single office visit for an instant lift with no down time.
The results last from 6-18 months, depending on the products used and the individual patient. Some fillers are permanent, but most physicians recommend treatment with absorbable fillers first, to get a feel for what the permanent results might be. For those wanting a “lift,” but not the downtime that comes with surgery, the “liquid lift” is a great alternative.
