Liquid Facelift

Liquid Facelift – Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation in Austin

The goal of any facial rejuvenation procedure is to create a refreshed appearance and natural results with minimal discomfort. The liquid facelift accomplishes this objective by combining multiple injectable treatments into a single process. This procedure, which requires minimal downtime, lifts the patient’s facial features, smooths wrinkles, and restores lost volume. At Eyelid & Facial Plastic Surgery Associates, our expert board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Malena Amato and Dr. Marie Somogyi bring their expertise together to offer injectable treatments that restore firmer, fuller contours to the forehead, mid-face, and lower face.

What Is Included in a Liquid Facelift?

The procedures included in a liquid facelift vary and may include any of the following treatments:

Dermal Fillers, Botox, Xeomin and Dysport Brow Lift, Kybella, Facial Fat Transfer and Skin Resurfacing. In combination, our doctors’ personalized procedures will lift your facial features, smooth wrinkles, and restore lost volume with minimal downtime and a quick recovery. While the specific treatments included in the Liquid Facelift can vary based on your personal needs and desired results, Our doctors have developed an extensive liquid facelift system that incorporates several treatments not typically offered as part of this procedure. This allows us to correct multiple signs of aging for a completely revitalized look. Injectable treatments can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures for an optimal result. 

How is TCA Peel performed?

Topical anesthesia is applied before the treatment. The TCA procedure is performed in minutes as our doctors apply Trichloroacetic Acid evenly on the skin with care to avoid the eyes. There is a light burning and frosting of the skin, leaving the skin pink and gradually tightens before peeling. We use a medical-grade 25-30% TCA not normally used in aesthetic spas to achieve optimal results with one treatment. Peeling usually begins 3-5 days after treatment and can last up to a week. Results reveal smooth, revitalized skin.

How Is Fractionated Co2 Laser Resurfacing Performed?

Laser skin resurfacing is very well tolerated, and topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure. Immediate post-procedure redness and swelling with little discomfort can be expected for the first three to four days. Cool packs and healing gel, such as Aquaphor, are recommended for the first few days following laser resurfacing. Healing time usually lasts approximately a week when the dead skin falls off revealing fresh, new skin. There is a slight pinkness to the skin for a few weeks after the procedure. Facial resurfacing can be performed in conjunction with dermal fillers or other cosmetic procedures.

During your consultation, our doctors will examine your facial structure and ask you about your recovery and maintenance preferences. Then, she’ll personalize your liquid facelift to reflect your unique goals and anatomy.

What Are My Skin Care Options?

We believe that excellent skincare complements any surgical procedure, prevents changes from aging and sun exposure, and preserves the longevity of a more youthful appearance. An excellent sunblock and moisturizer is the foundation of skincare, but other anti-aging products such as anti-antioxidants and retinol can further enhance your appearance.  We offer skincare products from SkinCeuticals and Elta MD, and also work closely with local dermatologists and med spas for a range of products and services.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for the Liquid Facelift?

The liquid facelift is ideally suited to treating the early signs of facial aging. Patients who don’t yet require a surgical facelift (those between 35 to 50 years of age) are generally perfect candidates for this procedure, as it produces very natural results. The liquid facelift may also help to delay the need for facelift surgery by stimulating collagen production and reducing stress on the skin.

To enjoy the best possible results with a liquid facelift, you will need to be in good overall health and not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. You’ll also need realistic expectations for this procedure. The liquid facelift can’t wholly replace facelift surgery, especially for mature patients who have loose skin. However, our doctors can combine your liquid facelift with minimally invasive endoscopic procedures (like brow lift surgery) to create more dramatic results without significant discomfort or downtime.

Will I have any scarring?

No! The non-surgical facelift, unlike traditional facelifts, uses only injectable techniques. As there is not a need for a scalpel, you will have no scarring. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, causing no pain to the patient. Indeed, it is very rare to see any bruising or pain associated with the aftercare and recovery process.
