Liquid Facelift

Refers to office based filler and BOTOX® treatments performed in the office with results that rival facial surgery. In some cases, the results are better than what can be achieved with surgery. The down time from these procedures is minimal compared to the results achieved. In Dr. Steinsapir’s office a typical treatment might include a Microdroplet™ BOTOX® forehead lift and placement of BOTOX® in the chin to reduce chin pitting and in the neck to reduce neck cords. Filler services might include 1 syringe of Restylane® under each eye to address the under eye hollow, a syringe of Restylane® in the lips, and 2-3 syringes of Perlane® in the pre-jowl sulcus along the jaw line, in the nasolabial fold, and in the cheeks to volumize these areas. Small skin bruises are common but deeper and more significant bruising, which can occur, is less common. One or two post procedure visits may be needed if there are any visible skin irregularities of concern, which are always adjustable when the hyaluronic acid fillers are used. When there is no bruising, swelling from the procedure might last 30 or 40 hours but is usually minimal. Makeup may be applied to the face after a few hours. Treatment results from the fillers can easily last over a year.
