Combining Botox® and Dermal Fillers for a Gorgeous “Liquid Facelift”
Your skin naturally loses elasticity and volume as you age, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. While surgical facelifts were once the go-to solution for a youthful appearance, many people now seek noninvasive alternatives.
We invite you to visit us at Best Plastic Surgery Practice in Lawndale, California, where John Walker, MD, and our team perform liquid facelifts by combining Botox® and dermal fillers to rejuvenate your look without surgery.
A liquid facelift: What is it?
A liquid facelift uses injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to address multiple signs of aging. Botox relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — think crow’s feet and forehead lines. On the other hand, dermal fillers restore lost volume, smooth out deeper wrinkles, and contour areas like the cheeks, jawline, and lips. Together, these treatments create a refreshed, natural appearance.
How Botox and fillers work together
Botox targets the underlying causes of wrinkles, like repetitive facial movements. Temporarily relaxing muscles prevent lines from deepening and allow your skin to smooth over time.
Dermal fillers, typically made with hyaluronic acid, add volume to areas where it’s diminished over time. They plump up sagging skin, fill deep wrinkles, and enhance features like the lips or cheekbones. When used in tandem with Botox, fillers can last longer because the relaxed muscles reduce the breakdown of the filler.
Benefits of a liquid facelift
There are several advantages to choosing a liquid facelift, including:
Noninvasive
You don’t have to worry about having surgery, scars, or downtime. Most patients resume their day immediately after treatment.
Customizable
Each procedure is tailored to address your unique needs, from smoothing wrinkles to adding volume in targeted areas.
Immediate results
You’ll immediately notice plumper, smoother skin, with Botox results improving over a few days.
Natural look
The goal is enhancement, not alteration — giving you subtle improvements for a refreshed appearance.
How to know if it’s right for you
When you visit our practice, we evaluate your skin concerns and learn about your aesthetic goals. A liquid facelift might be ideal for you if you have mild to moderate signs of aging and want a natural-looking rejuvenation. It’s also perfect if you don’t want surgery or aren’t ready for permanent results.
What to expect
The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes. We’ll assess your facial anatomy and develop a treatment plan that balances Botox and fillers for optimal results. Side effects like swelling or bruising are minimal and temporary.
With a liquid facelift, you can turn back the clock without surgery, enhancing your features and boosting your confidence. Consult with Dr. Walker to explore how Botox and dermal fillers can help you achieve your beauty goals.
