What Is Liquid Facelift?

The liquid facelift is a non-surgical, anti-aging procedure that is a combination of botox and multiple syringes of dermal filler injections. Botox® and Dysport® injections work to remove fine and deep wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that cause the formation of the facial lines. Dermal fillers are used to fill in and smoothen creases and lines, restore lost volume in parts of the face, and, in certain cases, enhance and augment specific facial features. Every liquid facelift is unique and customized to the individual’s signs of aging and facial structure and anatomy.

The aging process begins in one’s 20s and continues to accelerate as we age. It is estimated that after the age of 20 you lose one percent of the collagen in your face per year of life. The loss of collagen contributes to the formation of the signs of aging that most people seek to address with their plastic surgeon.

Signs of Aging Include

Wrinkles And Fine Lines

Appear around 30 years of age
Small, shallow wrinkles around the mouth and eyes
Dynamic wrinkles appear on the forehead and are noticeable when we change our facial expressions
Become more permanent with aging

Loss Of Volume

Noticeable around 40 years of age
Sagging skin and flattening of cheeks
Face begins to appear tired, fatigued and sad
Nasolabial folds (folds between the mouth and nose) deepen and line formation around neck becomes evident

Loss Of Elasticity And Deep Wrinkles

Appear around 50 years or age
Loss of firmness of skin
Skin becomes drier and less radiant

Causes of Aging:

External factors of Aging

Sun exposure
Pollution
Smoking
Nutrition
Skincare

Internal Factors of Aging

Hormonal changes and menopause
Natural collagen breakdown
Genetics

Ideal Candidates for Liquid Facelift

The ideal candidate for a liquid facelift will be someone who can achieve correction of the signs of aging through use of botox and dermal fillers. There comes a point where certain signs of aging can only be corrected through surgical intervention. It is key to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist in order to ensure that your goals cans be achieved non-surgically.

Good candidates for liquid facelift:

Have fine or deeper facial lines
Are starting to form mild jowls
Have “smoker’s lines” around the mouth
Have sunken and flattened cheeks
Are starting to develop some lines around the neck
Have hollowed out temples (sides of forehead)
Desire to improve hollowness underneath the eyes
Hold realistic expectations of what is achievable through non-surgical treatments as well as what would require surgical correction

Testimonial

“Love going to Dr. Naderi!! He is a talented doctor and a true artist. He’s taken the time to ask me about what I want and understands what I’m looking for. He knows how to balance what the patient wants with what is in the best interest for the patient. I’ve gone to him for fillers and he’s great at giving me a subtle, yet noticeable difference. I live in Michigan and travel for his services because I won’t trust my face with anyone else. I will certainly be coming back from Mich-again!”

Liquid Facelift Techniques

Liquid facelift techniques vary depending on the region or regions of the face that are contributing to an “aging” appearance of each individual.

Forehead

Lines or wrinkles running horizontal on the forehead can most often times be corrected with just the injection of Botox® / Dysport® to relax the muscles that help to create these lines. Over time, there’s less support for the forehead’s soft tissues and decreased skin tension, contributing to wrinkle formation. Additionally, repeated deformation of the forehead from facial expressions contributed to wrinkles and lines. If the lines are deep and permanent, injection of dermal filler into the lines can help soften their appearance.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Complex)

The “11s” (elevens) are in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows. The muscles of the glabellar complex include the corrugator supercilii, procerus, depressor supercilii, and part of the orbital orbicularis oculi. The glabellar complex muscles create the “angry” forehead look. If these lines are temporarily observed during expression, the correction can be done with just Botox® / Dysport®. However, after years of “frowning” these lines begin to appear even on a relaxed face and need filling in with dermal fillers.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines are straight, diagonal lines on each side of the nose running downwards from the inner corners of the eye towards the nose. They are caused by the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles and when the upper fibers of nasalis muscle flex on the sides of the nose. Bunny lines are usually seen when smiling. Botox can help maintain a youthful look by relaxing the muscles that create the bunny lines.

Temples

A “sunken” look with circular hollowness or depression in the temples on the sides of the eye on the edge of the face. The temples are formed by the frontal, parietal, temporal, and sphenoid skull bones joining or fusing together. Temples are found on the lateral sides of the face near the eyes and between the forehead and ears. The temporal muscle covers the temples area and is used when chewing. Hollowed temples may form in the aging process when the skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag down the face. Filling in the temples with dermal filler can reverse temporal hollowness.

Cheeks

Cheeks can begin to deflate and create a “sunken” look with hollowness or depression in the midface. The lower end of the orbicularis oculi, levator labii superioris, levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, risorius, levator anguli oris, zygomatics major and minor, buccinator, and masseter muscles are located in the cheek region. Much like the temples, the skin losing its elasticity during the aging process and begins to sag, however subcutaneous fat in the cheeks is also lost to aggrevate this aging process further. In order to restore check volume fillers such as the FDA approved Juvederm Voluma™ or Juvederm® Ultra Plus can be used.

Tear Troughs

Hollowness or darkened circles may appear under the eyes due to the loss of facial volume in the tear trough region. The superior or top region of the orbicularis oculi, levator labii superioris, and the medial levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles border the tear troughs. These troughs under the eyes are created when skin laxity increases in the aging process and subcutaneous fat in the face is loss leading to thinner skin under the eyes. Thus, a depression is formed between the lower eyelid and top of the cheeks. Tear troughs can be filled with Restylane® or Volbella™. For tear troughs with thin skin, Volbella™ is preferred.

Crow’s Feet

The skin on the outer sides of eyes and under the eyes become thinner and delicate thus creating fine lines and wrinkles. Crow’s feet are the number one reason why young people walk into a plastic surgeon’s office asking for botox. When the orbicularis oculi muscle moves, facial expressions are formed thus the muscle contributes to the formation of crow’s feet on the lateral sides of the eyes. The zygomatic muscles can also contribute to the formation of these kind of wrinkles with continuous and repeated movement. When you smile, frown, and squint, you can see the formation of crow’s feet. Botox can help maintain a youthful look around the eyes by preventing the scrunching of lines around the corners of the eyes.

An uplifted look to the brow area can be achieved as they being to droop in the aging process.

Brow Droop Or “Brow Ptosis”

The muscles begin to weaken with age, thus the outer ends of the eyebrows begin to droop and make the eyes looked weighed down. The frontalis muscle is responsible for elevating the eyebrows, and the skin on the forehead. The forehead muscle weakens in the aging process as with any facial muscle. Thus, the brow, especially the ends, starts to taper towards the temples rather than look uplifted. Botox in some cases can help maintain an uplift look to the eyebrows.

Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are fine lines that reach from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines can deepen or become more apparent. The levator alae muscle, or levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, and lip elevator muscles contribute to the nasolabial crease. The crease is also created with repeated use of the muscles in that area and loss of volume in the face. For deep nasolabial folds, Restylane® or Juvederm®Ultra Plus would be used; for thin lines, Vollure could fulfill this area.

Marionette Lines

Marionette lines are fine lines extending diagonally from the corners of the mouth to each side of the chin. The fine lines can deepen like the nasolabial crease with the aging process. Downward gravitational pull causes skin to sag and drop. In addition, the depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle contributes to the fine lines on the lateral sides of the mouth, which causes a sad expression by pulling down the corners of the mouth. These lines can be corrected with Juvederm® Vollure or Juvederm® Ultra.

Jowls

Jowls consist of the dropping of the lower parts of the cheeks. Jowls are formed from the overall weakening of facial muscles that happens during the aging process. Thus, the volume left in the face drops down towards the bottom of the face creating a less uplifting look and a more heavy expression. Loss of skin elasticity from loss of elastin and collagen production also contribute to jowl formations.

Thinning lips occur in the aging process.

Lips (Border And Volume)

The lips lose volume, and wrinkles become more abundant or apparent on the lips and around the lips. In the aging process, lips lose their thickness because we begin to produce less collagen and start to appear thinner in volume and shape. For a pouty lip augmentation, Juvederm® Ultra or Juvederm® Ultra Plus can achieve the look. For a defined lip shape, Restylane® is the preferred product. For minimal volume with subtlety, Volbella™ or Vollure is preferred to achieve this look.

The chin begins to have a sagging appearance in the aging process.

Chin (Mental Crease)

The chin begins to look smaller or more recessed as skin loosens around it. The chin can also feel the effects of the downward pull of gravity from weakening facial muscles. In the aging process, the skin becomes less elastic on the face and falls onto the chin and jaw giving a sagging appearance. Voluma™ is a preferred filler at The Naderi Center for chin injections.

The jaw angles more with age and the face begins to have less definition in its lower border.

Jaw

Skin along the jaw line tends to be less elastic than the rest of the face and begin to drop and disrupt a contoured jawline. Loss of definition in the lower face and along the jaw line can be restored with a dermal filler such as Voluma™.

For two weeks before your appointment, avoid nuts, seeds, fish, fish oil, NSAIDs, supplements, and anything that prolongs bleeding or are anticoagulants. Talk to your primary care doctor or physician specialist if you are on a blood thinner. We do not recommend patients that are on life saving medications stop medications in order to have any cosmetic procedures performed.

(Filler Injections) Patients who are prone to cold sores will need to start a prophylaxis dose of an antiviral medication prior to their injection treatment. Your physician provider will prescribe this medication prior to your treatment.

Day of Botox and Filler Injections

Wear little to no makeup as much as possible
Make sure you have eaten and your blood sugar is not low
- It is not uncommon for patients to “pass-out” or get “vaso-vagal” during their injection. Most people are not fond of needles. Having a good blood sugar and being hydrated will make it less likely that you will feel queasy during your treatment.
Make sure you have drank plenty of water and are not dehydrated
Dress in cool comfortable clothes
Come in at least 30 minutes ahead of your appointment if you like numbing cream
Make your appointment for the next time before leaving the office since our doctor’s schedules book out months in advance. Botox®/Dysport® wears off in 3-4 months on average and must be repeated 3-4 times a year. Filler longevity depends on product used and area injected, most patients need repeat injections in 6-9 months.

Recovery after botox and filler injections for a liquid facelift

What to expect after your liquid facelift

Risks, Safety, and Potential Complications of the Liquid Facelift

Common and expected side effects of dermal filler injections include the following:

Bruising After Your Liquid Facelift

May last 1-2 weeks but bad bruises can last up to 4 weeks. That is not abnormal. Bruises can show up several days after the treatment.
Bruising can be covered with full coverage concealer such as Neostrata which we sell in the office or Cover Fx brand from Sephora.
Tear troughs and lips are more likely to bruise because these areas are more vascular than other parts of the face.

Swelling After Your Liquid Facelift

May not always be even from side to side depending on pre-existing facial asymmetry, volume of injection, and bleeding at each injection site.
Initial swelling takes 2 weeks to settle.
Sleeping propped up and icing can minimize this side effect.
Avoid exercise for the first 48 hours or longer as swelling increases when working out.
Do not manipulate or massage area as this can aggravate swelling

Subtle Results After Your Liquid Facelift

1 syringe of filler is the equivalent of 1/5th a teaspoon in volume. After swelling subsides, there may be a need for additional filler injections if you desire increased volume.
Our doctors are very conservative and do not over-inject patients. Our physicians prefer to add volume slowly with time to achieve the desired result.
The first time you get injections, the results tend to go away faster. With repeated treatments, results last longer as you build your own collagen around the injection sites.

Asymmetry After Your Liquid Facelift

Asymmetry can be related to swelling. Give it 2 weeks before deciding whether asymmetry is from filler volume differences or swelling.
Please keep in mind that once you start to analyze your face, it is not rare to start to “notice” new asymmetries that have been there your entire life.

Lumps And Bumps After Your Liquid Facelift

The filler is going to feel firmer than your own tissue. Do not massage or manipulate the area.
The feeling of lumps and bumps usually improves within 2 weeks as swelling resolves.

Dry Lips After Your Liquid Facelift

Lips will become more dry post-injections. Ice the areas and keep lips lubricated with Vaseline or Aquaphor. No more than 20 minutes of ice at a time.

Possible Complications After Botox

Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
Infection
“Frozen look.” Botox works by weakening certain muscles of expression and must be injected in a correct pattern for natural expressions.
Flu-like symptoms
Minor headaches can occur
Eyebrow or eyelid droop with possible double or blurry vision
Muscle stiffness or weakness can theoretically occur, especially in patients with Myasthenia Gravis

Possible Complications After Dermal Filler Injections

Hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
Cold sore or herpes simplex virus outbreak
Acne breakout
Skin necrosis
Intravascular injection leading to skin necrosis and even blindness
Sterile abscess

Please notify our office immediately if you feel that you may be experiencing any of the above possible complications after your filler injections.
