What Is a Liquid Facelift?
A Nonsurgical Alternative
As a nonsurgical procedure, patients can undergo a liquid facelift without having to worry about scars. Areas such as the jowls, mid-face, nasolabial folds, and temples can all be sculpted, giving the face an overall enhanced shape and structure. However, it should be noted that the results from a liquid facelift are not permanent.
Combining Injectables
While no two liquid facelift procedures are ever the same, they usually involve some combination of dermal fillers. Some of these include Sculptra®, Restylane®, and JUVÉDERM®. In many cases, these fillers are combined with a neuromodulator such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, which can prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Immediate Results
When used together, these products can achieve some outstanding results in the face, reducing the appearance of fine lines and creating changes that are similar to a traditional facelift. Most exciting of all, the results of a liquid facelift can be seen immediately, making it the ideal option for patients seeking quick results.

- Eliminates loose skin
- Achieves a youthful lift for sagging facial features
- Resolves jowls or a double chin
- Reverses many signs of aging in one surgical procedure
- Turns back the clock as much as 10 years
- Smooths away wrinkles and creases
- Sculpts the contours of the face
Who Is a Candidate for a Facelift?
During your consultation with Dr. Stephens, he will evaluate your areas of concern and go over your aesthetic goals. He will then be able to tell you if a facelift is right for you. If so, he may recommend other procedures to enhance your facelift. If you’re considering a facelift in Baton Rouge, you may be an excellent candidate if:
- You want to improve signs of aging on the face.
- Your face has begun to sag due to the natural aging process, but your skin still has some elasticity.
- You're generally healthy and do not smoke.
- You have realistic expectations for what a facelift can accomplish.
- You're considering a facelift for personal reasons, not because someone else is pressuring you to get one.
Facelift FAQ
What type of anesthesia is used?
How long will results last?
The results of a full facelift may last up to 10 years or even longer, depending on your skincare routine and lifestyle.
How long is a facelift surgery?
A facelift generally takes between three and six hours. If you are having other procedures at the same time, such as a fat transfer, it may take longer.
Will there be scars?
Facelift scars are minimal, carefully hidden in the natural folds of your skin around your ears. Some patients may require an additional incision at the chin, which will also be precisely made to minimize scarring.
Which other procedures complement a facelift?
While facelift surgery can provide significant rejuvenation, it is often complemented by other procedures to achieve comprehensive facial enhancement. Such procedures can include brow lift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery.
