What are the pros and cons of a liquid facelift?

The "liquid" part requires :GOOD: No anesthesia. less downtime. relatively quick to perform. quick overall recovery. More natural.BAD: Not long lasting. Cannot lift very saggy faces. Facial surgery is SURGERY: So longer recovery, increased pain, more downtime. Can be more effective, but may lead to "overdone" faces occasionally.Best, Dr. ALDO

Hello,Thank you very much for your question! Pros:-Liquid Facelifts are not permanent, if you don't like something, you can get rid of it, or it will dissolve over time.-No Scars-Minimal Downtime-No Surgery-Minimally InvasiveCons:-Does not last as long-Not enough "Lift and Tighten"- Too Full/ Product Misplacement When making your decision, it is best to consult with a local physician. Discuss what you are hoping to achieve, the time frame, cost. All of these factors should play a role in your decision. Good luck!

A liquid facelift with some combination of Sculptra, Voluma, Juvederm, Restylane, and Botox is a wonderful solution for someone who is experiencing early signs of aging and wants to rejuvenate their face without undergoing surgery. In the right hands, it is a very natural looking rejuvenation that will make you appear more vibrant and refreshed, without looking “done.” It's performed in the office with just local anesthesia. And once the dermal fillers are under your skin, they actually stimulate the skin to rejuvenate itself by producing more collagen. You can add in a laser resurfacing or another skin tightening treatment for extra rejuvenation and to stimulate the production of even more collagen and elastin. There is a little bit of bruising and/or swelling that may last for several days. The downside for a liquid facelift is that it is not permanent. The fillers and Botox (if used) will need to be re-administered to maintain the effects. Also, liquid facelifts will not work well for people who already have significant sagging. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will help you determine if a liquid facelift is the right choice for you.
