Introducing The Liquid Face-Lift
(Non-Surgical Face-Lift)
The liquid face-lift uses procedures that are designed to refill areas where you have lost volume. The nasolabial folds and marionette lines are best treated with fillers such as Radiesse and Artefill. The lips with fillers like Juvederm. And you can actually re-grow your own collagen for the rest of the face using Sculptra. The results are a much more natural rejuvenation of your face with a return of the lost volume due to aging.

The archetypal mask presented below is the mask of the young adult – age 14 to 24 years. This is the period of life when the face is normally at its “attractive peak”. That is, it is the most attractive that it will ever be during this period of the life of any individual. The facial form during this time is generally fairly static, and is distinctly different from the facial form of an infant, that of the child or the old age adult face.
The adult archetypal mask is essentially the face of the post-pubescent and young adult. For most people the closer they are to the age range of 14 to 24 years, the closer their face will match the mask. This is actually the “window” of maximum correlation with the mask and hence of maximum personal visual attractiveness for any human. That is, for most people their face will be at its “lifetime” most attractive during this period.
THE AGING ADULT FACE
As an individual matures the face “ages”. Essentially as any person ages beyond about 24 years the face begins to gradually match the mask less and less. This of course is not an overnight phenomenon but as a rule is gradual occurring over a period of years. This “face aging” is actually a function of several physiologic changes that occur with time.
The collagen in the face becomes less elastic and allows the soft tissue features of the face to sag inferiorly. In addition facial fat is generally lost with age making the facial soft tissues thinner. Finally the facial soft tissues gradually atrophy compounding the visual “thinning” of the facial soft tissues, as well as making the facial bones appear more prominent.
As a result the normal aging adult face with time progressively varies from the archetypal adult Mask in the following manner:
-
The cheeks sag inferiorly resulting the appearance of jowls
-
The corners of the mouth move inferiorly resulting in a slight frown look
-
The tissue around the eyes sag inferiorly
-
The eyelids, upper and lower, themselves sag inferiorly
-
The tissue of the forehead drifts inferiorly, creating wrinkles and dropping the eyebrows downward and giving them a flatter appearance
-
The nose may elongate and move the tip inferiorly
-
The nose may develop a small to pronounced dorsal hump
-
The tip of the nose may enlarge and become bulbous
-
Generalized wrinkling of the face may occur
Using the various non-surgical procedures available many of the visible signs of aging can be corrected - without surgery! There are a great many advantages to the liquid face-lift. For example, you have none of the major risks that are normally associated with surgery and results can last for years. Additionally, you can have a very natural look unlike the strange look that a surgical face-lift can sometimes give (e.g "cat-like" eyes).
Below is the comparison of the Liquid Face-Lift to a traditional surgical face-lift:
