Inland Cosmetic Surgery

A “liquid Facelift” is a non surgical alternative to the traditional face lift, made possible by recent technological advancements in wrinkle fillers.  This breakthrough procedure is a cost effective solution for patients who are concerned about looking tired all the time, and are beginning to see loss of volume in the cheeks and the loosening of the skin.

A Liquid Face lift will rejuvenate the skin to achieve a refreshed and younger look without the expense or downtime of a traditional facelift.  At Inland Cosmetic Surgery we provide expert injections by our experienced and highly trained Surgeons and Physicians’ Assistant.  The Liquid Face Lift replaces lost volume in the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and corrects deep creases in the nasolabial folds and frown line area.  These new generation, long-lasting wrinkle fillers stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone while rejuvenating the skin.

There are various wrinkle fillers that can be used and each Liquid Face Lift is personalized to meet the patient’s needs and provide the best result possible:

• Radiesse is a long-lasting wrinkle filler that instantly adds volume and smoothes the skin while stimulating collagen production.   Radiesse is commonly used for cheeks and jaw line as well as hallows around the eyes.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane can be used for enhancing the lips, correcting deep nasal labial folds, restoring the eye area.
• Botox or Dysport is used to treat wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyes, to slightly lift the eyebrows, and to treat crow’s feet.

The liquid facelift is basically soft tissue augmentation with injectable fillers, but the goal is to achieve results that are similar to surgery.  Yet the results are said to be “typically more subtle than surgery.”  This topic is getting lots of media attention: Harper’s Bazaar is the latest to pick it up and interview some of the physicians that say they’re doing it.

The Best Beauty section of the Bazaar September issue includes before and after pictures and a discussion of professional techniques for administering injectables.  On their website, you can also view a similar online article with some facts and figures about the most popular wrinkle fillers.

The idea of a liquid facelift isn’t exactly a “touch up” here and there, but a relatively extensive  series of injections.  According to the authors, you can expect to pay at least $3,000 for a full liquid facelift.  A Florida dermatologist by the name of Dr. Fredric Brandt explains, “I resuspend the face with Botox, lifting up the brows, neck, jawline, and tip of the nose and then fill in and replace volume around the eyes and cheeks.”

Wrinkle fillers may be effective for replacing lost volume, and Botox has many excellent cosmetic applications, but it’s difficult (perhaps impossible) to see how either could achieve the skin-tightening benefits of an actual face lift.

The liquid facelift has also been discussed on The Doctors (NBC), Rachel Ray Show, New Beauty Magazine, Dr. 90210, FOX News, Cosmetic Surgery Times, and more exposure is said to be in the works.
