The “liquid face lift” has gotten extensive media attention, and Harper’s Bazaar is just the latest to discuss the procedure(s). You can find an excellent article on their website with some facts and figures about soft tissue augmentation with the some of the most popular wrinkle fillers.
The Best Beauty section of the Bazaar September 2009 issue includes before and after pictures and a discussion of professional techniques for administering injectables.
The idea of a liquid facelift isn’t what you would expect from a wrinkle filler treatment; it isn’t a “touch up” here and there, but a relatively extensive series of injections intended to achieve results similar to a facelift, yet the results are “typically more subtle than surgery.” According to the authors, you can expect to pay at least $3,000 for a full liquid face lift. 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.” Some of the products and procedures discussed in the aforementioned article include Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Botox, Sculptra, and fat transfer.
The liquid facelift has also been featured 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.
