What is a Liquid Facelift?

What do you think ages our appearance the most? Lines and wrinkles? Blemishes? Sagging skin? In truth, it is a combination of all these factors. But the main contributor to sagging, lines and wrinkles is volume loss.

As we age, we lose oil from our face. Fat plays a big role in filling out the skin and keeps our face looking smooth and supple. Of course, fat loss is not the only factor in the equation. Collagen loss also occurs in our skin starting in our 20s. To a lesser extent, it is also affected by the loss of muscle that accompanies the aging process. All this leads to an overall decrease in facial fullness.

Liquid facelift is a procedure using injectable fillers that aims to make facial contours more dynamic and attractive. In liquid facelift, hyaluronic acid fillers are most commonly injected into areas of volume loss to restore the reduced volume.

Sagging of the skin can be reduced by filling in areas with volume loss, and facial lifting is achieved by reshaping sagging facial features or hollow areas.

How is Liquid Facelift Procedure Applied?

Liquid facelift is a very easy and comfortable procedure. Since no surgical procedure is required, there is no long recovery period. After the procedure, the person can return to his/her daily life immediately.

Before the application, the person must undergo a comprehensive examination by the doctor. Before the procedure begins, the skin is cleaned under appropriate hygienic conditions and an anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area. After the cream is applied, there is a waiting period of approximately 15 to 20 minutes for the skin to become numb. Then the process of injecting liquid into the lower part of the skin begins. Injecting is done with the help of fine-tipped needles. Liquid facelift is a procedure without any pain and suffering.

The application does not have any negative effect on the patient's quality of life. The patient follows a routine program and comes to the control one week after the procedure and if necessary, the relevant touch-ups are applied. During this period, the patient should avoid excessive and strenuous exercise.

Is Liquid Facelift a Permanent Application?

The duration of liquid facelift permanence varies according to the material used during the procedure and the method applied. However, it usually maintains its permanent effect between 1.5 and 2 years. Liquid facelift is an effective application that allows the skin to regain the volume lost over time and makes the facial appearance more beautiful and younger than before.
