THE LIQUID FACELIFT“LIQUID FACELIFT” is a misnomer. A facelift is a surgical procedure or proceduresto correct sagging, redundant facial tissue such as jowls, hanging necks, brow ptosis, etc. Attempts to correct these deformities with fillers, or neurotoxins, or noninvasive “tissue tightening ” technologies are usually disappointing."LIQUID TUNE-UP" would be a more appropriate term for the use of fillers in patients that are not ready for surgical facelift. Some practitioners withoutsurgical expertise are pushing expensive non-surgical options in patients thatreally need surgery to get a respectable result. !f you are seeking fillers, it would be prudent to see a surgical specialist with expertise in all options, that can give you an honest evaluation. Wasting thousands on fillers when you need surgery, or having surgery before you need it, can be very disappointing.
Pros: -Restores facial volume lost from fat atrophy and bony atrophy with little downtime - Does not involve a surgical incision or scar - Easily completed in an office under topical/local anesthesiaCons: -Temporary result, regardless of filler material or fat transfer -Doesn't truly lift the underlying structures of the face -Doesn't address poor jawline and neck contours
