Over the years, the face begins to lose collagen and elastin which contribute to sagging facial features.  The loss of facial volume and elasticity also lead to the formation of wrinkles, creases and folds.  During the past few years, a specialized group of physicians began treating wrinkles with newly FDA-approved dermal fillers and BOTOX^®.  During this time, the physicians began to notice an accompanying benefit.  As these procedures were performed with particular products and with certain injection techniques, facial features exhibited a gentle lift, as well. This has spawned a somewhat revolutionary new approach in treating sagging facial features, which has begun to be called a Liquid Face Lift. 

The Liquid Face Lift can accomplish a number of objectives when it comes to facial contouring and lifting. For example, bags can be masked under the eyes by using Liquid Facelift techniques; eyes can be opened up and lids lifted; jowls can be lifted and diminished; natural shape can be restored to flattened cheeks or temple areas; corners of the mouth can be lifted; as well as several other facial feature benefits.

A Liquid Face Lift involves the use of advanced dermal fillers, usually in combination with BOTOX^®. Each of these dermal fillers has unique attributes that work in their own special way to contour specific areas of the face.  In general, dermal fillers replace lost volume in the face or help the body regenerate its own collagen.  Precisely placed, the dermal fillers can be used to lift or contour any number of facial features. Dr. Azar prefers to use Juvederm as his filler of choice because it appears natural within a few days and has been used with safety and efficacy for over 3 years .It is common knowledge that BOTOX^® relaxes and diminishes wrinkles. However, BOTOX^® is also used in conjunction with the dermal fillers to provide added lift and to help the endurance of the dermal fillers.

Results from Liquid Lift procedures are usually gradual and can range from subtle to astonishing.  It is common for patients who have had Liquid Face Lift procedures to say that they receive compliments on their appearance without others knowing that they have done anything.  In some instances, the results can be so uplifting that they change an individual’s life.  As with any cosmetic medical procedure, results vary from patient to patient.
