What is a Liquid Face Lift?

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

I was asked today if we perform the “Liquid Face Lift?”  The answer is yes…and no.  A liquid face lift refers to a procedure that consists of a series of injections to relax fine lines and wrinkles, fill in deep lines and hollowness, and give your face an over all more youthful appearance.

We do offer this service, but not by name, and the patients who choose it have been extremely pleased with the outcome.  Dr. Schoenfeld uses Botox to relax the muscles (wrinkles) in the forehead, smooth smile lines and give heavy brows and subtle lift.  He then uses various fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse to plump lips, fill in the lines around the mouth area and if necessary fill the hollow under the eyes or build up the cheek bone area.  The results are fantastic and can make a dramatic improvement in overall appearance….but it is not a face lift nor does it replace having a face lift.  The only way to truly achieve the results of a face lift is to have the surgery. The non surgical techniques are getting more and more sophisticated and Dr. Schoenfeld is an expert with Juvederm and Radiesse, but it does have it’s limitations.  If you are trying to decide which is right for you, simply call us and we will schedule you a consultation.

Nothing compares to the long term out come of a face lift or even a mini lift, but if you are not ready for surgery and want to go back to work the next day you might want to consider using fillers and Botox for an immediate improvement in your appearance.  It’s fast, easy, and relatively painless.

...and don't forget about your skin!  I hate it when I see someone who had a beautiful face lift but with the same old skin!  All you have to do is get a photo facial with the new Isolaz or have a series of Microdermabrasions or chemical peels. Please....don't forget about your skin.  Even if you are only having Botox!
