The so-called "liquid face-lift" involves the injection of various fillers into the face to restore lost volume and provide a more youthful, refreshed appearance. It typically involves a series of injections to restore the jawline by reducing the appearance of "jowls," as well as restoring lost volume in the mid face and cheeks. The procedure is often coupled with BOTOX or other neuromodulators to achieve the desired result. It typically takes under an hour to perform and is rarely associated with significant down time. Patients can often return to work the very same day and the results typically last about 6 months. Cosmetic surgery is much more invasive and usually involves anesthesia. While the results are often wonderful, there is significant down time involved, as well as the potential for extensive bruising and the possibility of scarring. Your appearance can be permanently altered. While the results of surgery tend to be longer lasting, they are not permanent and further surgery is often required later in life. A liquid face-lift allows for an immediate result and can always be followed by conventional surgery if the patient so desires.
