Liquid facelift is a procedure performed using injectable fillers, which aims to make facial features more dynamic and attractive. In order to restore the decreased volume in liquid facelift, the most common hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the areas with volume loss.
By filling the areas with volume loss, sagging of the skin can be reduced, sagging facial features or areas with dimples are reshaped and facial stretching is provided. In addition to being a less costly and risky procedure compared to the traditional surgical facelift, it is also minimally invasive.
What is the real reason we look old?
What do you think ages our appearance the most? Lines and wrinkles? Stains? Skin sagging? In fact, it’s a combination of all these factors. However, the main reason that contributes to sagging, lines and wrinkles is loss of volume.
It’s a cruel irony of aging, but we lose facial fat while our belly fat increases. Of course, when you think of a young face, you most likely imagine a “V”-shaped face with symmetrical contours. Because oil plays a big role in filling the skin and makes our face look smooth and supple.
Of course, fat loss isn’t the only factor in the equation. There is also collagen loss in our skin, which starts from the age of 20. Although it is less, it is also affected by the muscle loss that accompanies the aging process. All of this causes an overall reduction in facial fullness.
A liquid facelift rejuvenates, but it cannot do all that a surgical facelift can. Liquid facelift is a good option for those who do not have significant sagging on the face and neck.
What is a Liquid Face Lift?
Liquid facelift is the lifting, plumping and reshaping of the face using injectable fillers. As part of the overall procedure, fillers are usually applied alone or in combination with botox. The use of botox in addition to fillers can provide better, longer-lasting results. Botox blocks nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions. When injected into the relevant areas, it effectively blocks the muscles responsible for making certain facial expressions. Because repeated facial expressions contribute to the breakdown of collagen in certain areas, leading to deep wrinkles and expression lines.
Dermal fillers can be used in the treatment of areas with mimic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet. However, since the excessive use of the muscles will cause the filler to decrease faster, the botox filler to be applied around this area helps the filler to remain effective for a longer time.
What are the things you need to pay attention to?
Do not inject any non-FDA-approved product into your face. Non-physicians are prohibited from performing these practices. Just because it is more affordable, do not have these procedures done by physicians. Because although the procedures seem simpler than the surgical method, they can cause injuries that cannot be corrected. It is extremely important that you know that there are zero complications in this type of procedure.
Do not receive a dermal filler procedure in the presence of any active skin sores, herpes, pimples, rashes, cysts or infections near the intended injection site. Postpone such scheduled procedures until the situation is fully resolved. Also, keep in mind that it is not recommended to receive laser treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or other similar skin treatments at the same time as your dermal filler procedure without the supervision of a qualified physician. Be sure to inform your doctor of any current medical conditions as well as any medication you are taking.
Avoid the Terrible “Wax Figure” Appearance
We all see some celebrities (or maybe your neighbors, friends) around us who look like their faces might melt when they go out on a hot day. Fortunately, there are some precautions you can take to avoid such consequences. Finding a qualified doctor who uses only FDA-approved dermal fillers (i.e. no silicone fluids, gels, or permanent fillers) is a good start.
Other than that, here are the tips we recommend to keep in mind during the liquid face lift procedure!
- Choose one of the “temporary” fillers. So if you don’t like it, these substances will disappear in six to 12 months. You can have it done again after you decide you like the result or when your results start to decrease.
- Ask your doctor for moderation. Don’t have wild expectations like getting 20 years younger.
- Do not combine too many procedures at once. The “wax figure” appearance is often associated with overly aggressive treatments.
