Reduce Aging Effects With a Liquid Facelift in Scottsdale
Aging is a part of life. The years of experiences and stories make us who we are. But that doesn’t mean we need to show all of those years on our face. From years of environmental factors like sun and smoking to genetic predisposition, the signs of aging can appear long before their time. To combat these wrinkles and fine lines, Dr. Ronald Caniglia of Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery may recommend a procedure referred to as a liquid facelift.
What is a liquid facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure designed to treat the signs of aging. The procedure addresses the fine lines and wrinkles that occur as the skin ages. The process adds dimension to the face through the injection of dermal fillers that target specific areas the patient would like to address.
Don’t let the name confuse you though – a liquid facelift is completely different from an actual surgical facelift. Surgical facelifts are able to treat the underlying muscle, fat, and tissue of the cheeks, jowls, and neck. A so-called liquid facelift addresses hollowness and loss of volume on the surface of the face.
Am I a good candidate for a liquid facelift in Scottsdale?
If you experience wrinkles on the face due to aging and would like to treat these signs with a non-surgical procedure, a liquid facelift may be right for you. During your consultation, Dr. Caniglia will discuss your options for hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane, and Radiesse. He can determine which method will best treat your condition and if this procedure will bring you the desired results. Dr. Cangilia can also discuss your options for other procedures like blepharoplasty or a forehead lift.
What should I expect during the procedure?
A liquid facelift is a simple procedure that can be completed in as little as 15-30 minutes, depending on your individual needs. Dr. Canglia will determine what areas to treat with simple injections to target the desired areas. If needed, a topical analgesic can be used at the injection site.
What is the recovery process like?
Some mild swelling or bruising may occur but no downtime is required. Some patients may even elect to undergo the procedure during their lunch period, only to return to work afterwards. The results of treatment will diminish over time but can be readdressed with additional treatments.
