Non-Surgical Facelift

The effects of aging are often most apparent on the face. Wrinkles can begin forming from an early age, and skin starts to sag. Dr. Brent offers specialized, nonsurgical options that still deliver significant results. His non-surgical facelift continues to become more popular, as greater numbers of patients want to treat signs of aging but without an invasive approach. 

What Is a Non-surgical Facelift?

A non-surgical facelift is no single procedure but a combination of multiple opens that target your specific cosmetic concerns. Like a traditional facelift, these treatments are used to reduce signs of aging in the lower face. However, while a traditional facelift only focuses on tightening skin, a nonsurgical approach allows for a more complex approach to multiple facial concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Loss of facial volume
  • Thin or uneven skin
  • Mild to moderate jowls
  • Sagging or loose skin
  • Thin lips

What Is a Liquid Facelift

A liquid facelift is a minimally invasive procedure that uses injectable dermal fillers and, in some cases, neuromodulators to rejuvenate the face. The treatment typically involves using fillers such as hyaluronic acid (HA) or collagen-stimulating agents to plump up areas that have lost volume due to aging. Common areas treated include the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, and even the lips. The results are subtle yet noticeable, providing a natural lift and a more youthful appearance without the downtime associated with surgery.

The liquid facelift is a cost-effective alternative that allows enhancement without permanently changing aspects of your look.

It harness the rejuvenating abilities of several different injectables. These include:

  • Radiesse
  • Restylane
  • Sculptra
  • JUVÉDERM
  • NEUROTOXIN

These various fillers are combined expertly to create a powerful enhancement of the entire face. All without the downsides of a traditional lift. That means there is: 

  • No need for anesthesia
  • No extended recovery period
  • Absence of invasive surgical techniques

Am I a candidate?

A nonsurgical facelift can enact impressive changes, creating a more youthful and defined contour to the face. However, we take the time with each patient to ensure they are matched with the right procedure. Dr. Brent thoroughly goes over each patient’s medical history to ensure their procedure plan will be safe and effective. While a nonsurgical approach can still provide dramatic improvements, patients with more significant concerns may be more satisfied with a surgical facelift. During your consultation, Dr. Brent will go over all of your options so you can explore multiple paths toward a rejuvenated appearance.

Ideal candidates typically will:

  • Have no current skin inflammation or infection
  • Have mild to moderate signs of aging (wrinkles, skin laxity, etc.)
  • Have a healthy understanding of the benefits and limitations of the treatment

What is the recovery like?

For injectable treatments, most patients will have little to no downtime. Some swelling is normal, and some patients may have bruising. But these typically fade quickly. For chemical peels and laser treatments, patients usually will take about 1 week off from work. These treatments can leave the skin temporarily reddened as it heals. After about 1 week (more for stronger treatments), patients can see their skin begin to return to normal. This typically will occur after the outer layer of skin has flaked off.

 

Can I combine a nonsurgical facelift with other procedures?

The best way to combine a nonsurgical facelift is to expand the treatment area. Patients can treat all parts of the face and neck with these same treatments to obtain more comprehensive results. The consultation process allows you to build your treatment plan in every detail. Customize your path toward rejuvenation alongside a leading plastic surgeon.

When and for how long will I see the results?

Dermal fillers and fat injections can provide nearly instant benefits. They immediately restore lost facial volume and enhance your face’s contours. Some fillers continue to boost collagen for additional benefits following treatment. Results tend to last from a few months to years, depending on the product used.

Chemical peels and laser treatments tend to produce more gradual results. However, both treatments are highly reliable. Patients can expect to start seeing benefits about 10 to 14 days after treatment. Each additional treatment in your regimen will continue to build on the prior session. After about 3 to 5 treatments, patients can see their full results, which can last for a year or beyond.

How should I prepare?

Preparing for a nonsurgical treatment will generally be simpler and more straightforward. We advise patients to avoid using makeup on the day of treatment and to come well-hydrated. If you have any current skin conditions or acne outbreaks, you may need to wait for those to clear up before treatment. If you plan to have laser treatment or a chemical peel, we recommend arranging for some time off ahead of time. Based on your treatment plan, Dr. Brent can let you know what timeframe you can expect for downtime.

What Is a Nonsurgical Facelift Procedure Like?

  • Chemical Peels: In a chemical peel, a special formula is applied to the treatment area. The peel formula is packed with materials that help exfoliate the upper, aged layers of skin while also boosting collagen production. The treatment is ideal for reducing wrinkles and firming up the skin. We have different formula strengths, depending on your needs.
  • Dermal Fillers: Dr. Brent has a range of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers available for patients. HA naturally occurs in the body and is excellent for rejuvenating aged parts of the face. Fillers are best for improving lost facial volume and improving facial contours.
  • Laser Treatments: Laser skin resurfacing and our other laser treatments are flexible, effective treatments for a range of skin concerns. From wrinkles to pigmentation concerns, one of Dr. Brent’s laser systems can prove to be the solution.
  • Facial Fat Injections: Fat injections can work similarly to dermal fillers, but they use the patient’s own tissues. Patients may prefer facial fat injections if they want a more natural approach.
