Liquid facelift works well in the right patient

Hisham Seify, MD,PhD answers: What is a liquid facelift?

Is a liquid facelift safer then facelift surgery?  Can i get almost surgery-like results from one?

Liquid face lift is a term used for the synchronized use of Botox and fillers to reverse some of the facial aging signs.

It does work in the proper patient. Mild skin laxity, minimal or moderate sagging of the midface, deep glabellar lines etc...Asking for these techniques to deliver a face lift result in a patient with marked facial aging is not proper.

It requires less time and no open surgery. It is less risky compared to a full face lift.

It is difficult to know whether you can have face lift-like results without examining your picture. I would still lower what I can promise and try to deliver more by analyzing in detail what this technique would give you. You board certified surgeon will be able to do that during your consultation

Hope that helps.

A: A 'liquid facelift' can mean different things to different plastic surgeons.

A 'liquid facelift' can mean different things to different plastic surgeons.  Generally speaking, it would involve injecting some form of dermal filler such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse and perhaps adding some Botox.  This type of treatment would be more ideally suited for the type of patient that truly doesn't need a true facelift.  It's all marketing.  The term is 'catchy'.
