Liquid Face Lift
Face lifts are pretty much in demand these days, though the demand is hampered by its high costs and high level of invasiveness. This is why a lot of less invasive and more affordable face lifting procedures are coming out as alternatives. One of these is the liquid face lift, which is known as the non-surgical face lift. It is a more convenient and less demanding type of face lift that offers more people the chance to get healthier and younger looking skin without the cost and the other rigorous demands of a full surgical face lift.
So what is the liquid face lift? By definition, it is procedure that aims to lift, fill up, plump, and smoothen facial features that are hollowed or wrinkled due to aging. It works by re-contouring the face to make it look younger. In a nutshell, it fills up the parts of your face where you have lost volume due to the weakening of the skin.
The liquid face lift is not a surgical procedure, despite it being called a face lift. It is a simpler procedure conducted with the use of dermal fillers and neurotoxins. These fillers are simply used to plump up your face in the parts where it is needed. Different cosmetic practitioners who conduct liquid face lift procedures use different types of injectable dermal fillers for the procedure. These fillers have different benefits and characteristics, and they are chosen based on what you specifically need for the treatment that you are looking for. The surgeon’s choice also factors into the matter.
One of the most commonly sought after types of liquid face lift is a mid-cheek facelift, since the cheeks are usually the first ones to sag as skin ages. As cheeks sag, this causes a lot of nasal labial fold lines, which can make you look several years older. Another common area treated with liquid face lifts is the sides of the mouth, which are prone to the formation of jowls. Although some liquid face lift procedures aim to rejuvenate and lift the entire face, liquid face lift can also be used to target specific areas of the face only. Either way, such procedures have achieved fame due to its effectiveness in staving years off your face.
Another one of the many advantages of a liquid face lift over the standard surgical face lift is that it can be accomplished quickly. All it takes is a single office visit. To ensure patient comfort, surgeons use local anesthesia, though the procedure is not as painful and taxing as surgical face lift. Before you undergo the procedure, however, your doctor will walk you through an in depth consultation wherein your medical history, allergies, past facial procedures, and what you would like to improve about your face will all be discussed. After that, the procedure can be conducted. All in all, your visit may take you about an hour, and you immediately enjoy the effects of a face lift without the long recovery time. As can be expected, however, effects don’t last as long, but since the procedure is more affordable, it’s a pretty good exchange nonetheless.
The cost of a liquid face lift procedure is affected by several variables. To get an idea of how much a liquid face lift procedure will cost you, it is advisable to get an estimate from your surgeon. The cost will largely depend on the nature of treatment that you want and how many injections it will require. The choice of the dermal fillers to be used will also affect the overall price of your procedure. You also have to pay for maintenance costs and the reputation and experience and location of your surgeon.
