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.
