A liquid facelift involves placing large amounts of fillers into the face. The benefit is temporary. To achieve the effect of a facelift, it is not uncommon to spend $5000- $6000 in injectables, only to have them completely disappear in 6 months. Then the patient can come in for another "liquid facelift"...A "liquid facelift" is not a true facelift, and is really a misuse of the word. Well-done facelifts offer permanent benefits to patients and look natural in the process. Modern facelifts often use all-natural fillers such as fat or LiveFill to augment volume. An important component of a true facelift is tightening. No tightening at all is performed with a "liquid facelift".Liquid facelift could also be considered to be fat injection alone, with no tightening of the skin and restructuring of the deep layer. However the recovery for fat injection ot the entire face is extensive, probably longer than that for a real facelift.Many patients who don't have the recovery time or funds for a real facelift, or need to look good in a hurry (reunions, interviews, etc) certainly benefit from fillers. Fillers are wonderful and enhance areas of lost volume.The "liquid facelift" is a temporary, expensive incomplete fix. It is not a facelift.
A liquid facelift is the use of injectables: fillers, toxins, and biostimulatory products like Sculptra and Radiesse to imporve the contours and activity of the face to address signs of aging. This treatment is not equivalent to surgical facelift for most patients either in result or duration; a typical liquid facelift treatment can last 6-18 months depending on the products used, while facelift surgery results may last 5-7 years. Younger patients with early aging changes and limited loose skin will see the best results from this approach.
A Liquid Facelift is referred to as the nonsurgical alternative to a facelift. It gives the appearance of a facelift procedure by rejuvenating and lifting the sagging skin of the face. It does this by combining fillers and neurotoxins. It will plump, smooth, and recontour the face. If you want to maintain your results you may need to get this Liquid Facelift done by your provider at least once a year or as recommended.
The key word here is "liquid"!. This is not a surgical face lift and will not give the same results or address the same concerns. Liquid face lift involves combination of dermal fillers to restore volume loss and sculpting the face as well as some wrinkle relaxers, such as botox or dysport. It gives instant results, virtually no downtime ( 3-5 day if bruising happens) and no scars and no pain. You need an expert consultation to determine if you are candidate. You need to ask yourself what bothers you the most, what kind of result you are looking for and what budget you have in mind. Typically liquid face lift requires 4-10 syringes of dermal fillers and around 50-100 units of botox. It's a great procedure and can take up to 10 years off your face instantly. Hope this helps.

Most doctors would consider a liquid facelift to be using large amounts of fillers and possibly adding some neuromodulators like Botox/Dysport/Xeomin to create significant rejuvenation of the face. A liquid facelift will not do the same things that a facelift can do, but can create some nice results in some patients. It is important to remember that fillers and Botox are temporary, whereas surgical changes will last for many years and will have a permanent improvement, even though the aging process continues.
A "liquid facelift" refers to a procedure that utilizes fillers and Botox to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate your skin. Fillers are an extremely effective means to help you restore the facial volume associated with a youthful appearance. Sculptra, Radiesse, and Bellafill work by both filling in lines and wrinkles and by stimulating the body to produce new collagen and underlying tissue for a more youthful appearance. Restylane, Juvederm and Voluma are ideal for restoring lip, cheek and facial volume. PRP with fat or nanofat are also being used to restore volume and rejuvenate your skin. My favorite filler for a quick immediate facelift is Voluma. As little as one syringe of Voluma placed properly in your cheeks can lift your face, improve wrinkles, tired looking eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and even your jaw line. The most cost effective filler for restoring volume in your temples, cheeks, jaw line and chin area is Sculptra. Sculptra stimulates your skin to produce collagen. You will start seeing results in a few weeks with peak results occurring around six months later. The results will last another 2 yrs. before starting to diminish. Patients typically need 1 -3 Scupltra treatments spaced around 6 weeks apart. Restylane and Juvederm are great for lips, nasolabial folds, and tired hollow looking eyes. Bellafill stimulates collagen production in your skin with results lasting over 5 years. Because of the long duration of action this must only be injected by very experienced injectors. PRP (platelet rich plasma) contains growth factors which stimulate collagen production in your skin. It is obtained by drawing your blood into a test tube and spinning it down to separate and concentrate your platelets which are then injected back into your skin. PRP can also be applied topically after a laser procedure to speed the healing process or applied with micro needling. It is extremely safe to use for skin rejuvenation with results lasting around 18 months. Botox, Dysport and Xeomin all work by relaxing muscle contractions to decrease wrinkles around your eyes, lips, nose and forehead.
