Time to get on my soap box. There are only two types of surgeons who do facelifts, Plastic Surgeons and facial plastic surgeons. However, everyone else want to get in on "cosmetics" so they can make more money then they get from doing insurance work. Hence we'll call dermal fillers and the like a "liquid facelift." Just using the term facelift patients immediately think it's the same thing or similar. It's Not.
Dermal fillers and Botox as well as skin care lines are excellent for facial rejuvenation. They all have specific indications and uses and those of us in Plastic Surgery use them for those purposes. And although you can look rejuvenated after using these products its not a facelift.
Don't get me wrong I love these products but when it's time for surgery then it's time. So see your Plastic Surgeon to understand the benefits of both liquid products and surgery.
