What is a Liquid Face Lift?
What is a Liquid Face Lift? A liquid facelift is a noninvasive procedure that utilizes a combination of dermal fillers to give the face a more youthful appearance. What’s really cool with a liquid facelift, is that it is highly customizable. There are multiple dermal fillers that can be used and different parts of the face are optimal for different fillers. You want to make sure you are working with an experienced doctor to get your best possible results.
There injectable dermal fillers work by plumping up the skin in a target area. This smooths fine lines and wrinkles and give volume for a smooth, plump, younger look- hence the “lift” part of the name. The results can be seen immediately after the treatment, however multiple treatments over a period of time may be needed to achieve the look you are going for.
A traditional facelift is a surgical procedure. An incision is made in a strategic location to minimize a noticeably visible scar, then excess skin is removed that has sagged with time. The healing typically takes about two weeks before you can return to normal activities, however the results are permanent. This can definitely be the best option for some patients.

This is why people in Tampa Bay prefer to come work with Dr. Perich for their liquid facelifts, or any aesthetic need. She truly knows all your options to ensure you get the specific treatment you need.
Dr. Tayna Perich says this about liquid facelifts;
“It’s a great option for people who need a quick fix or are not a surgical candidate! Everything has a positive and a negative, it’s just most important to do the proper consult with your doctor to determine what’s right for you.
The best part about us is that we offer both surgical and nonsurgical options. Many people only off one thing because that’s the only thing they have in their tool bag- we have everything in out tool bag!”
Speaking of every tool, in addition to fillers for facelifts, there are some amazing other procedures that are also quick and easy with lasting results. Things like Morpheus8, Sculptra, and Kybella are less well known than Botox for example but can make a big impact without being a surgical procedure.
Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face and neck via subdermal adipose remodeling. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and dissolves fat for a smoother and sleeker appearance.
Sculptra® is one of our favorite products since it stimulates the body to produce its own type 1 collagen over time, giving you a permanent result, unlike filler which completely dissolves over time. Sculptra® fights wrinkles and sagging skin and reduces fine lines for a more youthful appearance. You will actually see the best results eight weeks after initial treatment. This means no one will be any wiser you had some work done- that is, unless you want to brag about it!
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” This is specific to the under chin area and cannot be used in other places, however is very effective there and can be used in combination with fillers in other areas to improve your appearance.
There are so many variations and combinations to consider and we know it can be overwhelming! That is exactly why coming to a place that “does it all” will make your experience the best it could possibly be.
