Today’s Liquid Lift™ – Wrinkle & Contour Correction

Do those little worry lines, wrinkles, or folds around the mouth, chin, eyes, forehead or elsewhere in the face or depressions or hollowing from aging bother you? Have your lips lost their definition? If a woman, does your lipstick bleed in lines on your lips? Would you like to correct these problems without surgery or just do not think you are ready for a facelift, blepharoplasty or other surgical procedure? Do you “need” a facelift or blepharoplasty but don’t have the time or the money? Have you already had a facelift or eyelid surgery and the area has re-aged? With the new injectable products and modified techniques using your own fat, we can now provide you results that previously only surgery could. There is no downtime and minimal risks. Dr. Buchanan of Highlands, NC is your liquid facelift expert and is ready to answer any questions you may have about this revolutionary treatment.

For many years, 60% of the facelifts Dr. Buchanan performed had already had a facelift but came in to eliminate the re-aging that had occurred since the procedure. Another 5-8% were under 55 years of age. Almost all of these had very little problems in the neck, but, at the time, a surgical procedure was the only alternative to achieve a return of a youthful appearance. Today both groups can be rejuvenated exceptionally well without surgery.

Non Surgical Facelift Approach

Others have jokingly called the use of fillers such as Juvéderm® Ultra, Juvéderm® Voluma, Juvéderm® Volbella and Juvederm® Vollure or fat grafting a “Liquid Facelift” or “Facelift in a Syringe” because use of them can almost give you results similar to a facelift. We call our approach “Today’s Liquid Lift™” because we go the next step and include Skin Rejuvenation, Botox® and fat injection in the methods we use to achieve a more relaxed, natural and longer lasting result. We consider more than just the lines around the mouth or between the eyes. Instead, we concentrate on what is causing you the aged appearance and treat what will give you the most optimal reversal of the problem with the least expense and downtime. We also use these methods to correct nasal deformities (what some others call a Liquid Rhinoplasty) or improve the aged appearance of the hands.

State-of-the-Art Technique

liquid facelift, highlands ncToday’s Liquid Lift™ is especially useful for early changes of aging and those from reaging after a previous surgical procedure where the majority of the changes are from deflation of the tissues rather than significant loose skin. The deflation causes what appears to be loose skin and folds. As an example, nasolabial folds (those creases from the nose down and outward) are caused by loss of fill in the malar (or suborbital) area with the descent of the overlying skin and subcutaneous tissue that stops its descent at a ligament connecting the skin from the nose downward and outward to the deep tissue or bone. For a number of years since fillers first became available nasolabial folds were treated by injecting the filler under the fold to efface it. This, however, did nothing for the aging above the fold and, in fact, worsened the aging by enhancing the squareness of the face rather than restoring the triangular appearance of youth. Modern technique instead refills the malar area, correcting the aging there, and also elevating and reducing the nasolabial fold. Similar correction of early jowling and lateral lip commissural folding can also be achieved by filling over the malar and zygomatic areas. Tear troughs under the eyes have been treated by direct injection of a filler. This, however, risks significant problems including swelling. Instead, we now inject over the malar bone below the orbital rim to elevate the cheek tissues, thus eliminating the tear trough. This technique is now taught by Allergan, the maker of Juvéderm® for use with Voluma™, though we had been using it with Radiesse® since 2005. We switched to Voluma® became available since it lasted longer and, because it can be dissolved, was potentially safer. Unfortunately, many injectors are still filling the nasolabial fold primarily and directly injecting the tear trough with light fillers creating problems that are hard to correct until the filler is absorbed by the body.

How long does JUVÉDERM™ last?

JUVÉDERM™ is not a single filler, but a family of fillers. Different members of the JUVÉDERM™ family of fillers are said to last 1-2 years, however, most appear to last longer than the manufacturer claims and some patients can still see results up to 4 years later.

  • Ultra® is used to fill facial lines, creases, folds and depressions as well as the lips. It is ideal when extra superficial volume is needed because of its water absorption that increases the fill obtained from the injected volume.
  • Volbella® is used to fill the lips and lines there and elsewhere on the face. It is excellent when only a little filler is needed or we need to make minor corrections. When used in lines along with tretinoin as part of skin care, we rarely have to inject the lines more than twice to almost completely eliminate them. When placed just under the dermis (the support layer of the skin) it can be used to stiffen the skin and, thus, make it less likely to wrinkle. We frequently use it in wrinkles and then under the dermis in the opposite direction to correct areas of general wrinkling instead of using a leveling peel or laser resurfacing, either of which have a much longer recovery.
  • Vollure® is used similar to Ultra®. It is especially useful when you do not need as much plump or want the filler to last longer, lasting, on average, 1 ½ times as long as Ultra® and Vollbella®. It is ideal for adding volume to the part of the cheeks not over bone where injection into the superficial fat compartment is best. It can also be used to just under the dermis to stiffen the skin. In fact, we frequently use it below wrinkles as we use Volbella® since it is longer lasting, though we use Volbella® in the wrinkles.
  • Voluma® is heavy and will support tissues well. Therefore, it is used deep to lift and support, especially around the eye and in the cheek over the underlying bone.
  • Ultra Plus®, another Juvéderm™ product by Allergan is no longer used by us as we find its uses better performed by other products.
