Liquid Face Lift - An alternative to surgery
(Information provided by Lorrie Klein, M.D)

You can achieve a younger, fresher look without surgery. The Liquid Face Lift (LFL) is a painless, 30 minute, in-office procedure. Utilizing various fillers and Botox Cosmetic a LFL can rejuvenate and lift your face to create a naturally younger look.

A typical LFL includes:

• A consult with a cosmetic dermatologist, plastic or facial plastic surgeon.
• As much filler, such as Juvederm, Radiesse or Artefill and BOTOX Cosmetic as is necessary to achieve the best possible results. Different fillers may be used for different areas of the face during the same treatment.
• An follow-up visit several weeks after your LFL with an enhancement treatment if necessary to fine-tune your results.

What the Liquid Face Lift can do for you

• Fill in wrinkles and folds, such as smile lines and marionette lines
• Smooth out frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines
• Enhance and lift cheeks
• Restore volume to flattening and sagging areas
• Lift eyebrows up to their youthful position
• Hide bags under eyes
• Reduce jowls and create a straighter jawline
• Plump lips and smooth out lip wrinkles
• Lift up sagging corners of the mouth

Consult - You should have a consult prior to your Liquid Lift so your doctor can design your treatment, discuss potential side effects (such as bruising) and educate you about the procedure.

How long will the results last - The results will last as long as each product normally lasts. BOTOX for example lasts 3-6 months while Radiesse lasts 9-18 months. If Radiesse is the predominate filler used then a 30 minute LFL will only need to be repeated every 9-18 months. BOTOX and Juvederm can be touched up as needed between lifts.

Fees - Fees will vary but usually depend on how much product is necessary. Because this is a comprehensive treatment usually the fees total less than what the charges for multiple individual syringes or units of BOTOX would be.

Where should you go for this treatment - When having a BOTOX or any filler treatment, look for a cosmetic specialist, such as board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, plastic or facial plastic surgeon. Since this treatment is so comprehensive, make sure the specialist you choose has had abundant experience with using fillers and BOTOX on all areas of the face, not just the smile and frown lines! She or he should have experience treating cheeks, noses, lips, eyebrows, jowl lines, under eye creases, among other facial areas. Feel free to ask to see before and after photos of the doctor's work.
