Liquid Facelift NYC

A liquid facelift conducted in Dr. Tal Dagan’s office can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Unlike a traditional facelift, a liquid facelift does not involve “going under the knife,” generally making it a faster process that can be completed in one visit, depending on the filler being utilized.

There are many benefits that come with a liquid facelift, many of which are obvious. Smoother skin with fewer wrinkles is one of the immediate advantages, but what about the risks?

Similar to other procedures, liquid facelifts come with a few risks that patients will want to consider before they choose this option. First, bruising is not uncommon in patients who undergo a liquid facelift. Though temporary, this is something that should be taken into account before a final decision is made.

Next, it’s worth noting that the final results may not be comparable to surgery for other areas, such as the jowls that form on the jawline, loose skin around the neck, and double chin.

Finally, research has shown that there can potentially be side effects associated with undergoing a liquid facelift, such as allergic reactions and bacterial infections. Filler may also enter certain blood vessels in the face, which can cause skin necrosis. Although these risks are rare, they are still complications that should be addressed with the doctor before undergoing the procedure.

There are many benefits linked to undergoing a liquid facelift, but how do clients know whether they are a good candidate for this type of procedure? Dr. Tal Dagan and his team ensure that all patients know the benefits, as well as the risks, prior to undergoing any type of surgery. Here are some of the characteristics of an individual who may be a prime candidate for a liquid facelift.

• Sagging cheeks
• Creases at the sides of the mouth
• Nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth
• Lower eyelid drooping
• Permanent scars

It’s also worth noting that aging can begin before a patient reaches his or her 40s or 50s. Those who have experienced sagging skin around the face and neck areas may want to consider a liquid facelift if they are looking for a non-invasive procedure to remedy skin problems in these specific areas.

The best liquid facelift can last anywhere from three months to five years, depending on the fillers used, as well as the areas targeted along the face and neck. There are many different fillers on the market, all of which patients can explore with Dr. Tal Dagan before making a final decision regarding their procedure. Some of the most popular include:

• Hyaluronic acid: A common filler used in liquid facelifts. The effects are reversible, which give patients more flexibility, and generally last up to eight months. If a patient does not like the end result, the doctor can inject a substance to break up the hyaluronic acid.
• Calcium hydroxyapatite: These fillers last anywhere from 12 to 16 months. However, they cannot be broken down and present a more permanent look, meaning patients will need to commit to the procedure.
• Poly-L-lactic acid: This filler stimulates collagen production within the face and lasts up to 24 months. That being said, it’s worth noting that a liquid facelift using this type of injection may require more than one visit to achieve desired results.
• Collagen or fat: This is sometimes referred to as soft tissue augmentation. Collagen and fat injectable fillers are temporary, but effective for correcting wrinkles and scars. This type of procedure involves fat transfer from the patient’s own body. It can last from three to 12 months.

Once the effects of the liquid facelift begin to wane, a follow-up appointment with Dr. Tal Dagan can be made to discuss a future procedure to target any recurring problem areas.

More than anything else, it is a mental and physical preparation. It is helpful to get into a young frame of mind as well as to exercise and diet appropriately. Physically, I suggest my patients prepare by thinking about their outward appearance: hair, make-up and fashion styling. This combined with the Liquid Facelift gives an overall rejuvenated appearance that does not suggest any type of work.

The procedure is similar to sculpting. It begins with a personal consult where we define all the target areas, i.e.: facial depressions, scars, imperfections on nose and cheeks among other issues. Local anesthetic is administered. We then inject active components of the treatment into the areas of concern.

Considering this procedure when you’re relatively younger helps prevent needing more major work done as you age. That said, an ideal timing for facial rejuvenation varies between 40’s to 50’s but can be applied during later years as well.

A Liquid Face Lift allows the client to enhance their appearance with a safe, speedy, non-surgical procedure. It is the perfect opportunity to experience the benefits of cosmetic procedures and to reflect on how to approach a more permanent surgical procedure if desired.

Longevity varies depending on the combination of injectibles as well as the condition of the client’s skin. The results can last between six months and several years—yes! several years.
