LIQUID FACELIFT

Liquid Facelift in Manhattan, NYCREJUVENATE AND RESTORE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR FACE WITH DR. SOBEL IN MANHATTAN NYC

WHAT IS A LIQUID FACELIFT?

The liquid facelift is the latest advancement in rejuvenating the face and providing a more youthful appearance.  It can offer many of the benefits of a traditional facelift without having to undergo a surgical procedure and its recovery.  Liquid facelifts can restore lost volume, diminish lines and wrinkles, redefine the jaw line and cheekbones and lift sagging brows.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each liquid facelift is totally customized byuit the patient’s particular needs.  The treatment is a multi-layered approach based on a patient’s areas of concern and goals.  It may involve the use of cosmetic fillers to provide volume and fill in wrinkles, while other dermal fillers may be selected for use deeper within the skin to offer significant contouring to the facial structure.  Other products may be used to relax certain muscles in the face, providing a reduction in lines around the brows or mouth.  Any combination of these treatments may be used to enhance the overall look of the face, tailored to perfectly suit the patient’s particular goals and needs.

CANDIDATES FOR LIQUID FACELIFT

Liquid facelifts are an appropriate form of treatment for patients interested in restoring youthful volume and shape to their faces without having to endure an invasive surgery.  It is safe and beneficial for people with all different skin types looking for facial rejuvenation.  A liquid facelift can produce much more substantial contouring than any topical products.  However, the results of a liquid facelift are often somewhat more subdued than that of a surgical facelift, so those patients seeking more obvious changes may be better off opting for a surgical procedure.

In addition, liquid facelifts may not be a recommended option for people with a history of allergies or sensitivities to certain medications.  Other health issues, including nerve disorders, may also cause a liquid facelift to be contraindicated.  By thoroughly discussing your goals for treatment and your personal medical history with Dr. Sobel, you can determine together whether a liquid facelift is the right procedure to meet your needs.

THE LIQUID FACELIFT PROCEDURE IN MANHATTAN NYC

There is no set, standard technique for a liquid facelift, since the procedure is fully customized for each unique patient’s needs.  A topical anesthetic may be necessary before the liquid facelift, depending upon the types of fillers that will be used and the patient’s sensitivity level.  The products chosen for the procedure will be injected into the appropriate area or areas of the face being treated.  Even if you are receiving several injections, each injection only takes a minute or two so the overall treatment time is typically very short.

NYC DERMATOLOGIST DR. HOWARD SOBEL PERFORMS THE LIQUID FACELIFT PROCEDURE



RESULTS OF A LIQUID FACELIFT

The results obtained by undergoing a liquid facelift procedure will vary from patient to patient because each treatment is so individualized.  It will often depend on which particular products were used.  Some, such as Restylane® and Juvederm® or Radiesse typically offer immediate results, while others, such as Sculptra or Botox, may take longer to produce a noticeable difference.  The condition being treated and extent of the treatment will also be factors in determining the results.  For many patients, the goal is an overall refreshed, more youthful look rather than an obvious appearance of having had a procedure done.

On average, the results of a liquid facelift will last approximately one year. However, this too is dependant upon the patient’s skin, lifestyle habits and the treatments used.  The results can often be prolonged if the patient carefully follows all of the doctor’s instructions after the procedure and uses quality products to care for the skin.  Many patients can also maximize their new youthful appearance by scheduling touch-up appointments over time.

ARE RISKS INVOLVED?

Liquid facelifts are considered a safe procedure with a very low risk of developing any serious complications.  Some patients do experience some minor side effects after treatment, though, including swelling, tenderness or bruising.  If this occurs, these issues generally respill provide you with specific instructions to follow after a liquid facelift, but these usually include avoiding sun exposure and exercising for the first couple of days post-procedure.

How to Effectively Treat Jowls NYC New York NY

Jowls certainly are one of the main facial aging issues that leads people to seek a facelift, and jowls absolutely can recur after a face and necklift – especially if the ‘facelift’ is limited to surgery on the facial skin only.   Not only may jowls recur, but they also may be incompletely corrected by a face and necklift, if the procedure performed is not appropriate for the nature of the ‘jowl’ problem.  So carefully evaluate your surgeon’s ‘before and after’ photos for jowl area improvement.

Like all aspects of a facial rejuvenation procedure, jowls require careful evaluation as to their nature and their specific treatment.  Jowlfullness over the mid-jawline frequently is lower cheek fat that has descended due to increased skin and subcutaneous tissue laxity as part of the normal aging process, and that has increased in volume, which is also part of the normal aging process.  Fat tends to atrophy (i.e. melt away) where you’d like it to stay – like high in the cheeks - and to increase in volume where you don’t want it, like in the jowl area, in the neck and above the nasolabial folds.

Skin-only facelifts have an inherently limited ability to improve jowls.  Jowl fat is intimately associated with a deeper plane of facial soft tissue called the SMAS, so pulling on the skin does little to improve jowls.  And skin is elastic, so as the skin stretches out, jowls recur.  Jowlfat can be surgically removed during a skin-only facelift, but that form of treatment tends to skeletonize the jawline, which does not lend itself to a youthful appearance.

The most powerful means of correcting jowls is by advancing jowl-area fat back up over the jawline into the cheek.  This can be accomplished by the High-SMAS face and necklift,  which involves elevation and advancement of a tougher connective tissue layer below the skin called the SMAS.  SMAS elevation (high in the cheek, hence the term ‘High-SMAS’ face and necklift) has positive effects on the peri-oral area (softening nasolabial folds, elevating the corner of the mouth, correcting marionette lines), pulls jowl fat back up into the cheek, and also tightens the area under the jawline – as it is continuous with the platysma muscle in the neck.  And because the SMAS is made primarily of collagen, it had tensile strength and does not relax like skin does.  The skin is carried passively with the SMAS, and all of the tension that holds the facelift is placed on the SMAS rather than the skin.  So High-SMAS facelifts are closed without any tension on the skin, and the results are more natural-appearing and more long-lasting. 

A ‘lower face and necklift’ implies skin elevation (and facial tightening with tension on the skin) to treat the jawline and neck, and I reserve this procedure for patients with relatively early facial aging changes.  If patients have notable midface aging, peri-oral aging changes (nasolabial folds, downturn at the corner of the mouth, marionette lines etc), jowls, or significant neck skin laxity, they are best served by a High-SMAS face and necklift.  When a skin-tension facelift is used to attempt to correct the peri-oral aging changes listed above, the result is a wind-swept, unnatural, surgical appearance that unfortunately is a permanent change.

I see many patients who think that they have ‘jowls’ but who actually have fat atrophy at the anterior jawline and posterior jawline – in other words loss of soft tissue volume in front of and behind the ‘jowls’, which makes the mid-jawline area appear fuller.  Not only fat but also mandibular bone (the jawbone) atrophies in the areas where fat atrophies, which contributes to the hollowness that bookends what appears to be jowls.  These patients have what might be termed ‘pseudo-jowls’, and this can often be very nicely corrected by means of structural fat grafting of the anterior and posterior jawline recesses.  Some individuals have both atrophy at the anterior and posterior jawline and mild fullness of the jowl area, and for these patients conservative fat aspiration can be combined with fat grafting on either side of the jowls to restore a youthful profile.  Many patients with this form of early facial aging can have a full, smooth and youthful jawline restored by fat grafting and fat aspiration only, putting off a more invasive procedure like a High-SMAS facelift until it is really needed for more advanced facial  aging issues.

Non-Surgical Jowl Lift NYC New York NY

Sagging jowls are traditionally treated with a surgical jowl lift. This is an expensive, invasive procedure, which involves significant pain, swelling, and a long recovery period. The results of surgery typically last up to ten years. As an alternative, created a non-invasive, non-surgical combintation of procedures which is safe and requires no recovery time. The results of this technique last several years.

 skin tightening treatment to lift and firm the skin of the jawline, as well as  injection of filler – either Juvederm or Radiesse into the space just in front of the jowl. This approach restores the original, youthful contour of the jawline and the jowly area becomes much less noticeable. Unlike a surgical facelift, this method does not require general anesthesia and relies instead on powerful numbing topical creams, allowing you to see the results at intervals during the procedure and give feedback. You control the results. The filler injection procedure is virtually painless and usually takes less than half an hour. Most people can go back to work immediately.

MiniLift or Facelift for Facial Sculpting / Rejuvenating nyc new york ny

It is impossible to tell without seeing pictures or evaluating you in person. You are young (35) so not likely that you would need a facelift or minilift unless you have premature jowls and heaviness in the lower face. Facelifts or minilifts are for reshaping or repositioning cheeks and jowls that have slipped or sagged lower on the face.   The "cheeky" smile that you describe may be reduced or sculpted with other smaller procedures, but again careful evaluation is needed.These lifts will not and should not change the shape or structure of your lips. If you have failed 2 fat transfers then I would suggest sticking with the hyaluronic acid fillers such as restylane or juvederm to get the fullness and correction that you desire

Vampire Lift nyc new york ny

It works by temporarily plumping up lines, much like its older cousins Juvederm and Restylane. But unlike the competition, Selphyl uses the patient's own blood to do the plumping.You see an immediate difference with a slight decrease intially in the next four days or so, then over three to four weeks you see the full plumping results; as the body's platelets and growth factors stimulate the production of collagen and improve the volume and texture of the skin.So the benefits are that its more cost effective for the volume that you are injecting into the face, it lasts longer than most fillers, it improves the quality and texture of the skin, and Selphyl is natural (not synthetic or derived from animals).

The Y Lift is not your only option and I can't imagine it will be much different than other filler injections with HA. He is describing I suspect the use of a cannula (blunt tip) rather than a needle so there would be less bruising but that is about the only difference.

There is nothing wrong with a branded mini facelift procedure per se—they often produce excellent and lasting results—but patients should be aware that there are many options out there. The Y Lift appears not to be a surgical procedure so it will not have the effectiveness of one. If a procedure is based on a single doctor's experience, the medical community cannot vouch for it—so buyer beware.

Vertical facelift is the best option to improve jowls nyc new york ny

The best option for correcting the jowl is a Facelift and the best Facelift technique for the jowl is the vertical Facelift.

Facelifts last 2-10 years, depending on the technique, the surgeon and the patient nyc new york ny

These are averages for what patients report after their surgery.
Threadlifts: Most patients notice a benefit for 6 months to 1 year. No permanent benefit is usually noted since the tissues usually slide past the sutures. In all cases when we have removed threads during revision procedures, the sutures have held no tension and were often quite loose. The data are not fully in on Endotine lifts performed with undermining (lifts performed with a self dissolving device that hooks onto the cheeks or brow), but the longevity is likely to be longer than for threadlifts with no undermining.
Minilifts: Most patients notice a benefit of 2-4 years. If tissue is undermined and advanced and sutured it to a new position, there will likely be a permanent, lifelong benefit from this procedure and the procedures listed below this; patients are always "ahead of the game" by a certain amount, although of course the face continues to age.
Revision facelifts: 2-7 years. Since some of the advancement of the tissue has already occurred, revision facelifts generally do not achieve the rejuvenation effects of a first time lift. However, the ability of a cleverly done revision facelift to restore a natural unoperated, youthful appearance can be transformative.
Facelift skin only: 3-6 years average
Facelift with SMAS treatment and volume restoration (i.e. LiveFill or fat injection): Most patients notice 5-8 years in improvement, less in young patients with minimal aging signs, more in older patients who have several ancillary procedures done at the same time.
Facelift with SMAS treatment and volume restoration with many ancillary procedures (face, eyes, brow, lip lifts, LiveFill, Neck-Lace, conservative CO2 laser i.e. 360 Facelift). Many patients report 8-12 years of rejuvenation or more.
A natural reduction in aging does not result from tightening alone. The more clues of aging that are reduced, the better and more harmonious the appearance. Patients with well performed facial plastic surgery appear younger, but also prettier (or more handsome), if facial beauty and balance are enhanced through ancillary procedures in an addition to the usual tightening.
Here is the dilemma:  if a patient gets a well done facelift, but for example ignores volume losses, aging eyes, aging skin tone, yes, the result is better but it is not complete.
That is why the best and longest lasting results, by far, are with a facelift expertly done combined by a number of carefully chosen ancillary procedures.  In the right hands, this combined approach of facelift plus ancillary procedures also produces the most believable youth.
