- Liquid Facelift
The face shows the first signs of ageing to everybody. Overtime, as one ages, the facial skin being more delicate than the skin on any other part, gradually goes through a lot of irreversible changes. The face develops fine lines, wrinkles and creases which hamper the overall youthful appearance.
The volume is also lost and the face starts looking sunken and gaunt. Everybody wants to look as young as they feel, but that’s not the case always! Also, not many are ready to undergo a surgical procedure in order to restore their youthful glow.
Dr Santosh Bhatia of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic realizes the dilemma here and provides the solution of a face lift, that too without a surgery with the help of dermal fillers!

What Is
a liquid facelift?
A liquid face lift involves the use of dermal fillers in order to smoothen out the fine lines, wrinkles and creases. It also helps to restore volume to the face to make it look plump and young. A liquid face lift comes with an enticing feature of being minimally invasive and has minimal to no scarring. As no surgery is involved, the process is simple and has zero downtime and yet is tremendously effective. It helps to get rid of various wrinkles including smile and frown lines ( around the mouth), crow’s feet (around the eyes) and forehead wrinkles.
Apart from smoothening the wrinkles and lines, it is an excellent option to plump up the cheeks and other areas of the face which seem to have lost volume due to ageing. The dermal fillers literally fill into the gaunt areas to restore a youthful appearance.

the difference between a traditional and liquid facelift?

Traditional Facelift
- Invasive surgical procedure
- Requires general or local anesthesia with intravenous sedation
- Incisions are required to tighten the skin
- Recovery takes at least a week
- Chances of scarring
Liquid Facelift

- The area to be treated is cleansed first. Anaesthesia is not required as it is a minimally invasive procedure.
- However, some fillers contain a local anesthetic like lidocaine to enhance comfort during injection. Topical anesthetic may also be used in certain cases.
- The needles used for injecting are thin and short, thus the pain is minimal.
- Utmost care is taken to inject the filler properly so as to avoid any damage to underlying structure and to prevent any nerve damage.
- The amount of the injections highly depends upon the facial structure and the amount of wrinkles that need to be treated. It can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to complete the procedure.
