A Nonsurgical Facelift Achieved Using Only Injections.
Younger women (typically in their 20’s and 30s) are most often known to display a characteristically “triangular,” heart-shaped face. This is widely considered to be a telltale trait of youth vitality. As the aging process marches on, that “triangular” shape tends to eventually invert, leading to the fullness of the cheeks naturally shifting more downward to the lower face. Fortunately, there are nonsurgical options to effectively combat these unwanted effects of time and gravity. At Atlanta Face & Body, a revolutionary aesthetic technique called a Liquid Facelift can help restore lost volume and contour the features of the face to regain a youthful appearance.
Before & After: Liquid Facelift
How does a Liquid Facelift work?
Unlike the name might suggest, a Liquid Facelift is not a surgical procedure. Treatment entails the use of specialized dermal fillers strategically injected into different areas of the face to help restore fullness and reclaim the “apple of youth” shape to the cheeks as well as balance the other facial features. The Liquid Facelift is a popular option to restore fullness and provide a “lifting” effect in the cheek area without the need for any incisions. This restored volume also helps make the skin look more radiant by smoothing any lines and wrinkles in the treatment area. Fillers can also be used in combination with neurotoxins, such as Botox® and Xeomin®, to provide a further smoothing effect as part of the Liquid Facelift.
What areas of the face can a Liquid Facelift address?
Treatment areas with a Liquid Facelift are unique to each patient’s skin concerns. Most often, however, age-related changes on the face that can be treated with restored volume include:
- Cheeks
- Jowls
- Temples
- Under the eyes
- Near the eyebrows
- Folds between the mouth and nose
What is the recovery like with a Liquid Facelift procedure?
A Liquid Facelift takes about an hour to perform from start to finish and is generally tolerated well by the majority of patients. A numbing agent or cooling device is often used to help make your experience as comfortable as possible. While there is generally less bruising with liquid facelifts as compared to more invasive options, you may still experience some mild bruising immediately following the procedure. Bruising is more likely if the fillers are injected around the eyes. Some mild discomfort, swelling, and redness can also occur after the procedure but usually subside quickly in a couple of days. There is minimal, if any, downtime needed and most patients resume their daily activities the same day as their procedure.
What results can I expect from a Liquid Facelift?
Most people notice immediate results after their Liquid Facelift treatment with continued improvement in the following days. The duration of results depends on factors such as the type and amount of filler used and the location of the injections. Generally, you can expect results to last anywhere from 6 to 24 months. You will have the option to get touchup treatments to maintain your results. The staff at Atlanta Face & Body will go over all details during your appointment so you’ll have clear expectations for your own Liquid Facelift outcome.
