Restylane and liquid facelift vs surgical facelift
Injectable fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, (hyaluronic acid) and Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite), can help replace volume loss that is often seen in the aging face. These fillers can be useful in restoring a more youthful appearance to the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth, and lips. Although these injectable fillers are often referred to as a liquid face lift, they primarily replace subcutaneous fat and connective...

Restylane "Facelift" suitable for any woman?
First of all, a "liquid facelift" gives volume to the face. This can give very nice results, but it is not a facelift. Next, Restylane is a well known product used to place volume into the face. Lastly, rarely do we say "never" or "always" in medicine. Each patient is different. Best to see an experienced injector. Share with them your goals. they will guide you through the process.

Restylane is one of several good volumizing products
The idea of the volumizers is to replace lost facial volume and shape. Done well, and in conjunction with other treatments - such as botox, laser skin resurfacing, or peels, it is possible to significantly turn back the calendar.
Depending on your needs, a personalized combination of the above options may be the way to go.
Also the surgical face lifts should be considered.

Restylane: Filler v. Lifter?? Ask Dr Ellen
Hello Anon,
It's important to clarify that Restylane is a volumizing agent, not a lifting agent.
Restylane, and fillers like Restylane, can enhance facial proportion by subtly modifying contour and shape. They are often used in conjunction with neurotoxins which can reduce lines related to animation- example crow's feet, the 11's between the brows, forehead lines. Skin resurfacing procedures like lasers, peels and microdermabrasion can impact on the quality of the superficial...

Liquid Face Lift For Any Woman?
There really is no "Restalyne Face Lift" unless you are referring to a "liquid face lift" which uses injections of fillers to improve facial appearance. Restalyne is just one type of filler that can be used to do this; other fillers include Radiesse, Juvederm, Sculptra, etc. Most people do well with fillers, however some fillers work better for certain areas and different situations.
Injectable fillers are only temporary and therefore will not provide the long term results of...

Restylane Liquid Facelift
Restylane is just one type of filler used in the "Liquid Facelift." The safety and efficacy of HA fillers are almost without equal, but unfortunately they do not last as long as other agents to restore facial volume. Usually, a combination of materials are used to provide the desired lasting results of a good liquid facelift procedure.

Restylane face lift
Liquid face lift involves injection of multiple vials of one of many fillers such as Restylane to improve facial appearance. There are no contraindication to use of Restylane but injection into some areas of the face are considered off label use, that is it is not what the FDA approved it as, but may be used by physicians for that purpose. Not every one is a candidate for this procedure but most will benefit. Your plastic surgeon can go over the details with you.

Restylane liquid facelift
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler that restores volume to deflated areas of the face. Depending on where it is placed, it can give a lift, especially to the cheeks and jawline, but it does not take the place of a facelift if there is a significaant amount of sagging. Please consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see if the Restylane procedure would help you.

"Liquid facelift" or Restylane facelift" are marketing terms only
These terms generate alot of buzz because of the widely held interest in non-surgical rejuvenation. However, the "lift" provided by these treatments is minimal at best. Fillers are very effective for filling lines around the mouth, plumping cheeks and temples and augmenting lips. In some patients who simply suffer from volume loss this can be very effective. In many patients, true rejuvenation requires replacement of lost volume and repositioning of dropping skin and soft tissue. In those...

Liquid facelift
It will certainly improve the overall picture but some patients will need to have surgery to achieve adequate rejuvenation.

Liquid " facelift" - facial fillers can restore youthful volume
Yes, we call this treatment the “liquid facelift” in our office. Much of what happens in the aging process is deflation of the face. Rejuvenating the face with Sculptra, Restylane, Perlane, Juvéderm and Radiesse will restore volume which can dramatically improve the effects of aging. Restylane, Juvéderm and Perlane are excellent fillers because they contain hyaluronic acid which is naturally occurring in your skin. However, they only last up to six...

"Liquid Facelift" with Restylane
As other panel members have stated, Restylane is a safe product for most individuals and can provide beautiful volumizing.. It is no substitute for a facelift if that is what is required to meet your specific needs. I recommend consulting with a skilled injector who can analyze your individual anatomy and goals and determine if you will get much benefit from fillers alone.

Is a Restalyn Facelift Suitable for Any Woman?
There's no such thing as a Restylane Face Lift. This is a marketing claim and not a real face lift procedure. Injecting fillers, into the face, can and does add volume but it isn't a face lift in any stretch of the imagination. I have performed facelifts for well over 20 years and a face lift must meet the following criteria, IMHO.
There must be an incision along the front, of the ear, so excess skin can be removed.
The underlying SMAS muscle...

Restylane filler for any and all people
Restylane is a terrific filler which has been around for a long time, used in millions of people safely and effectively to fill lines, and volumize areas that have lost volume/substance. Often fillers like restylane are combined with botulinum toxins for a better overall or "global" improvement. Most importantly, see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, both experts in skin, beauty, and anatomical knowledge of the face.

Liquid facelift
Using restylane or any other filler can give imrpved volume to the face, but I have seen a few patients that have been "overfilled" by over zealous injectors to compensate for what should have been taken out with a facelift( the excess skin.) I do not think that fillers or a facelift alone are necessarily the best choice for all patients. Sometimes patients need both.

Adding volume to deep lines and hollow areas can give the appearance of a face lift.
Restylane is a very safe product, but there are limitations on what it can do. It really depends on what you needs are. Filling deep nasolabial folds, adding volume to the lips, filling in tear troughts and adding a few cc's to the upper cheeks can often give the appearance of a mini face lift. Restylane is very safe, but may become prohibitively expensive is you are using large volumes of product.

The Restylane "Facelift"
Restylane was the first of several Hyaluronic Acid wrinkle fillers approved in the US. It was soon followed by Perlanve, Juvederm and now by Belotero. What do wrinkle fillers do? By injecting them EXACTLY under certain areas of volume losses, we can plump / push out depressions, partially smoothing them.
However, a filler is NEVER a lifter. Adding volume to a volume deficient area never translates into an upward pull which smoothes it the way you can by pushing your face up with your...

Restylane for facelift
I hate to see the word Restylane used in conjunction with facelift because it is deceptive. No filler is the equivalent of facelift.. Filler is wonderful for facial rejuvenation but does not substitute for a facelift. That said, it can be used in a variety of circumstances for early aging or patients who cannot or do not wish to undergo surgery. There are a variety of fillers. I use Restylane for tear troughs and lower lids and Radiesse to fill out other areas of the face. A combination...

Restylane facelift results
Fillers can be used to correct volume deficiency which often develops with aging. Fine fillers such as restylane are also used for the treatment of fine lines or to fill the lips. When larger volumes are needed, fat transfer would be a better option, since you can get larger volumes with less cost and results that last up to eight years or longer. In the long run it makes more financial sense to go with the fat injections. Other advantage of fat is that it has some...

Restylane is an excellent filler for a liquid facelift.
It is important to understand that no liquid facelift is the same as an actual facelift. For the right patient, a liquid facelift is an excellent alternative or complement to structural surgery. The liquid face lift website has a directory of highly qualified cosmetic surgeons who perform these treatment. I am no fan of Sculptra as a facial filler. If there are lumps or bumps from this treatment is can be very difficult to correct these. To obtain a full...

Liquid Facelifts replace lost volume
To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "Restylane facelift". You may be referring to a "liquid facelift" which is usually done using Sculptra. It is important for you to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers”. A liquid facelift is used to treat problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin. For this I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse or Sculptra....
