Your Consultation for a Liquid Facelift

At The Waltzman Institute Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics of Long Beach, we are committed to your comfort and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, you will meet with Dr. Waltzman one-on-one. He will study your face’s natural features and make recommendations about which procedure or combination of procedures would be most beneficial to you. 

We want to ensure your comfort and full understanding of your liquid facelift treatment in Long Beach, so your consultation will take as much time as necessary for us to discuss your goals and the risks and benefits associated with your procedure.

How Does a Liquid Facelift Work?

The liquid facelift procedure is a non-surgical facial enhancement that uses injectable treatments—dermal fillers and Botox® or other neuromodulators. As you age, you develop two main types of wrinkles, and the injections are chosen to target each variety of wrinkle type specifically.

The combined treatment of both types of wrinkles is what makes the liquid facelift so effective at erasing cosmetic signs of aging. By using neuromodulators and dermal fillers, we can tailor treatment to your natural facial contours, creating a substantial difference and beautiful enhancement. As many injectables contain lidocaine to numb the area, you can expect a comfortable procedure with little to no downtime.

Am I a Candidate for a Liquid Facelift?

As we age, we may begin to feel less confident about our faces. Because it is a non-surgical procedure, the liquid facelift can help refresh your look with very little, if any, recovery time. Our patients often choose this procedure when they are unhappy with the appearance of lines around the eyes, across the forehead, and around the mouth or when they have a loss of volume in the lips or hollow-looking areas under the eyes or cheeks. 

Some of our patients in Long Beach choose to combine the liquid facelift with a professional peel, such as the ZO Controlled Depth Peel, to address changes in texture and coloration simultaneously; this combination is particularly effective in restoring a youthful look to your face.

For more advanced signs of age, such as deep skin folds or excessive sagging of the skin, patients may choose a traditional facelift. 

There is no “right” age for a facial procedure; when you decide that you are ready to look younger and feel more confident about your appearance, Dr. Waltzman can help.

What Does a Liquid Facelift Treat?

Dynamic wrinkles are those that develop from the contraction of certain facial muscles, such as the fine lines around the eyes when you smile. These lines are best prevented with neuromodulators, such as Botox® and Dysport®, that work by stopping the contractions that cause the appearance of wrinkles. The effect is smoother, younger-looking skin. An added benefit is that the use of neuromodulators over time also slows the development of deeper wrinkles.

Static wrinkles are deeper lines that are caused by the loss of fullness in certain areas of the skin. During a liquid facelift treatment in Long Beach, dermal fillers are used to replace lost tissue volume and fill in these lines. Different dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or an autologous transplant, may be used to create a fuller and more youthful facial appearance.

Static wrinkles occur because the body produces decreasing amounts of collagen and other compounds, such as hyaluronic acid, with age. The subcutaneous fat just underneath the skin droops over time, creating lines and contours that emphasize the appearance of age. With natural aging, your skin will gradually form deep lines that are present even without movement, such as those across the forehead or from the nose to the corner of the mouth.

What Results Can I Expect from a Liquid Facelift?

Experience the immediate results of a firmer, smoother, and fuller facial aesthetic that restores your youthful appearance. Dermal fillers immediately improve volume, and most neuromodulators take effect within a few days.

There is some variation in how long the effects last. While Botox® or Dysport® patients may need additional injections after several months, the effects of dermal fillers can last up to a year or even permanently. Patients occasionally return for touch-ups in specific areas to maintain their youthful appearance.

What is Recovery Like After a Liquid Facelift?

There is very little downtime after the Long Beach liquid facelift procedure, which is non-surgical and completed in-office; walk in and walk out on the same day! You will not have scars, and you will enjoy the full effects of this treatment within days.

While some patients may have slight bruising, redness, or swelling around some injection sites, you can expect to return to most of your daily activities right away.
