Liquid Facelift in Atlanta, GA
As we get older, it is natural for signs of aging to manifest on the face, including developing fine lines, wrinkles, thinning skin, and a loss of fullness in the cheeks and lips. They say wisdom comes with age, but unfortunately, so do these extra “perks” that most people would rather do without. If you would prefer not to give away your age at first glance, a liquid facelift may be just what you are looking for.

Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is A Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses injectable dermal fillers and neuromodulators, such as Botox or Dysport, to lift, contour, and refresh your face. It helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and restore lost volume to the cheeks and lips and enhance your facial features without going “under the knife.” If you are considering a liquid facelift for jowls, depending on the extent of correction needed, you may require a different type of cosmetic correction.
Who Is A Candidate?
This quick cosmetic procedure works well for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging who want to enhance their appearance without undergoing surgery. It cannot correct severe cases of loose skin and deep wrinkles like a traditional surgical facelift, but it can offer an interim solution for people who want to reverse moderate visible signs of aging. Candidates for a liquid facelift should:
- Be in good health;
- Not suffer from any medical condition such as a bleeding disorder that would pose a risk to their health;
- Not be allergic to any of the ingredients in the treatments used;
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding;
- Have realistic expectations of what the procedure can and cannot correct;
- Be prepared to undergo maintenance treatments to maintain their more youthful appearance.
Procedure Steps
You will attend an in-depth consultation to evaluate and discuss your facial structure, skin condition, and the results you desire. Your IBI Plastic Surgery & Med Spa professional will create a customized treatment plan based on your needs and circumstances.
Your face will be cleansed to eliminate any makeup, oil, or other debris to mitigate the risk of infection. A numbing cream will be applied to certain treatment areas to make sure you are comfortable during the procedure.
Depending on the type of treatment being done and the treatment areas, specific areas of your face may be marked to indicate where the fillers or Botox (or similar) will be placed. Typical areas that are marked include the cheeks, jawline, lips, nasolabial folds, and under the eyes.
Your expert professional will start by injecting any dermal fillers that are needed into the premarked areas. Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse, etc., restore lost volume and help to smooth out moderate wrinkles.
Botox, Dysport, or Xeomen is then injected into the targeted areas to relax dynamic wrinkles, meaning lines that are made gradually due to natural movements, like smiling or frowning that produce crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. These products normally take about 3 to 5 days to work, but final results can normally be seen after a few weeks.
Any adjustments that need to be made are done. Sometimes the filler is gently massaged to ensure even distribution, proper symmetry, and natural-looking results.
Benefits Of A Liquid Facelift
It is minimally invasive.
There is no surgery involved and little to no downtime.
The procedure is fairly quick, normally taking between 30 and 60 minutes.
It provides immediate results with gradual improvements for a few weeks until final results appear.
Each treatment is customized for the patient’s individual facial needs.
The treatment provides temporary but long-lasting results depending on the products used.
Recovery
You will be given specific instructions on how to care for your face after your treatment to minimize swelling or bruising. There is normally very little recovery time involved after a liquid facelift, and most patients can return to daily activities immediately. Some of the things to remember after your treatment include:
- Mild swelling or bruising is normal and typically resolves by itself within a few days.
- You should refrain from lying or reclining for at least four hours after your treatment to prevent the product from migrating to an unwanted area.
- You should avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area because it can cause the filler to move or spread unevenly.
- You should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24-48 hours.
Results
A liquid facelift leaves your face refreshed and looking more youthful by smoothing wrinkles, restoring lost volume, and enhancing some facial features. Immediately after your liquid facelift, you should notice plumper skin, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, and a refreshed and more youthful appearance. Gradually, over the next several weeks, your full results will become more visible with a reduction in dynamic wrinkles.

Liquid Facelift Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does A Liquid Facelift Last?
A liquid facelift can last anywhere between 6 and 18 months, depending on the type of fillers used and how your body processes them. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane normally last 6 to 12 months, and fillers like Radiesse can last up to 18 months or more. Botox or Dysport normally needs to be refreshed about every 3 to 6 months. To keep your results looking their best, you will need to have periodic touch-up treatments.
Are Liquid Facelifts Worth It?
A liquid facelift can be totally worth it if you want a younger, fresher look without surgery. It helps to restore volume and smooth wrinkles to give your face a subtle lift without having to endure an extended recovery. The results do not last forever, but they can be maintained with regular maintenance treatments. If you are dealing with major sagging skin or very deep wrinkles, you might require a surgical facelift.
What Is A Liquid Facelift vs Fillers?
A liquid facelift is a combination of fillers and a product like Botox used together to refresh and lift the face without surgery. It can target multiple areas at once, like the cheeks, jawline, lips, and under-eyes, to create a more refreshed and youthful look. Fillers alone are normally used to plump up specific areas, like the cheeks or lips, rather than treating the whole face. A liquid facelift treats the entire face to combat the signs of aging all at the same time.
