Face Lift Al Nahyan royal family — Abu Dhabi
A liquid facelift involves placing large amounts of fillers into the face. The benefit is temporary. To achieve the effect of a facelift, it is not uncommon to spend $5000- $6000 in injectables, only to have them completely disappear in 6 months. Then the patient can come in for another "liquid facelift"...
A "liquid facelift" is not a true facelift, and is really a misuse of the word. Well-done facelifts offer permanent benefits to patients and look natural in the process. Modern facelifts often use all-natural fillers such as fat or LiveFill to augment volume. An important component of a true facelift is tightening. No tightening at all is performed with a "liquid facelift".
Liquid facelift could also be considered to be fat injection alone, with no tightening of the skin and restructuring of the deep layer. However the recovery for fat injection ot the entire face is extensive, probably longer than that for a real facelift.
Many patients who don't have the recovery time or funds for a real facelift, or need to look good in a hurry (reunions, interviews, etc) certainly benefit from fillers. Fillers are wonderful and enhance areas of lost volume.
