Liquid facelifting, a nonsurgical procedure, can restore your youthful appearance. After the procedure, patients are usually able to return to their daily activities. Minor bruising and swelling are possible.
Botox
Botox is a liquid facelifting procedure that uses very little of the neurotoxin, botulinum toxin. The toxin causes muscle paralysis, which results in smoother skin. Botox results can last up to a year. However, fillers will require more maintenance than the Botox areas.
Using Botox or dermal fillers for liquid facelifting allows you to address the signs of aging without the risks of surgery. However, some signs of aging can only be treated with surgery, and that is why you should first consult with an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Dermal fillers
For non-surgical facelifting, dermal fillers can be used for liquid facelifting. They can restore the youthful appearance of the face by plumping the skin and softening deep wrinkles. Dermal fillers can be used to replace collagen and elastin and give the skin a natural appearance. The skin loses its ability maintain its elasticity as it ages, which can lead to sagging and wrinkles.
The process is minimally invasive and can be performed in a single appointment. The entire procedure can last from fifteen to thirty minutes. To minimize pain and swelling, the patient will receive a topical anesthetic. Patients are advised not to take blood thinners within two weeks of the procedure. This will increase the risk of bruising. The plastic surgeon will normally recommend a followup visit within two week after the procedure.
Local anesthesia
Many people prefer to have a facelift under local anesthesia rather than a general anesthesia. General anesthesia can cause some complications. Patients can experience difficulty breathing and can become too relaxed. Patients may even die if the anesthesia is too strong.
A dull ache behind the ear may be a sign of discomfort after a facelift. To ease discomfort, your doctor will prescribe medication. These medications should be taken as directed. Avoid strenuous activities the first few evenings. Keep your head up. This will minimize the amount of swelling that will form after the surgery.
Several injections
Injectables can be a great way of improving the appearance and texture of your skin. The procedure involves several injections that give you a natural-looking lift. This treatment will eliminate many of your traditional surgical costs. You can also avoid paying operating room and general anesthesia expenses. You will look younger and more refreshed after the procedure.
A skilled injector will use biocompatible dermal fillers and injectable neuromodulators to lift and rejuvenate your face. These products can help erase fine lines, provide a smoother and more contoured appearance, and plump your lips. These injections can help define your jawline, chin, and neck.
