What Is the Difference Between a Liquid Facelift and a Traditional Facelift?
Both options aim to give you a more youthful appearance, but they have quite different methods and results.
A traditional facelift is a surgical procedure involving incisions to lift and tighten the underlying facial muscles and remove excess skin. This method provides long-lasting results and can address more severe signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles and significant skin sagging.
In contrast, a liquid facelift uses injectable treatments like BOTOX® and dermal fillers to restore volume, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. The results are typically immediate and require little to no downtime, making it an attractive option and a less invasive approach. However, liquid facelifts are temporary, generally lasting between six to 12 months, and may need periodic touch-ups to maintain the look.
What to Expect During a Liquid Facelift Appointment
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all technique for a liquid facelift; the procedure is customized to your specific needs. Before the injections, we’ll apply a topical anesthetic for your comfort. The chosen products will then be carefully injected into the targeted areas of your face.

What Are the Side Effects With a Liquid Facelift?
You will likely have mild tenderness and possibly minor bruising, redness, or swelling at injection sites. Ice packs and Tylenol can help alleviate these symptoms. Dr. Trent will discuss the full list of possible side effects at your consultation.
People who get cold sores (herpes simplex infections) should start on antiviral medications before treatment. This helps prevent the reactivation of cold sores if you’re getting an injection in an area where you’ve had previous outbreaks.
