Is a liquid facelift safer and as good as surgical facelift? nyc new york ny

The so-called "liquid facelift" is use of one or several injectable fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Radiesse and others, though these are the most common) in conjunction with Botox or Dysport (muscle paralytics helpful in reducing dynamic skin wrinkles, but not static ones) to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and provide some degree of facial rejuvenation. If you don't have much skin laxity or sagging, and your lines aren't too deep or severe, then you can have nice results from the "liquid facelift." But of course, if all you need are these relatively minor improvements, then you didn't really qualify for the more dramatic and visible changes achievable via surgical facelift. So, as with most things, you get what you pay for. If you really need a facelift, a "liquid facelift" will only make slight improvements or delay the need for more aggressive surgical intervention--it will never replace a well-performed surgical facelift!
