If you’re not quite ready for a surgical procedure on your face, I would like to inform you about an alternative to face lift surgery.  I (Dr. Yee) can use a combination of Botox and dermal fillers to create results similar to that of a face lift.  The dermal fillers include; Juvaderm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Radiesse, Restylane, Scupltra, and Perlane.  The liquid face lift consists of the combination of injections along with specialized injection techniques to help rejuvenate the face.  The liquid face lift (Botox and Fillers) lifts the entire face by lifting individual areas while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.  By lifting the face and reducing wrinkles, this creates an overall youthful, rested appearance. The specific areas targeted are the upper, mid, and lower areas of the face.  In the upper area, the injections help lift the eyelids and diminish bags under the eyes.  In the mid area, the cheeks are plumped creating a more voluminous look.  In the lower area, the corners of the mouth and jowls are lifted.  When these areas are treated in the same office visit, the outcome is the closest you can get to surgical results. When you come in for your appointment, your I (Dr. Yee) will consider many factors to determine if you are a liquid face lift candidate.  First, I will examine the current state of your face. This examination includes; loss of collagen, skin elasticity, sun damage, personal characteristics, and skin type.  If you are a candidate, the office procedure can last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour.  Most patients are able to see immediate results.  Like all injections, you may have slight bruising, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site.  These side effects should disappear shortly and a fresh, rejuvenated face will appear! The most important aspect to remember when considering the liquid face lift is that only an experienced doctor should do these injections.  A liquid face lift takes skill and technique to achieve the best possible results.  I will be more than happy to discuss this wonderful, non-surgical procedure with you.  Just give us a call to schedule your appointment!
