Facial rejuvenation procedures are designed to reduce displeasing signs of aging, such as wrinkles, skin laxity, and volume loss. However, patients often find the idea of cosmetic surgery daunting due to its invasive nature, lengthy recovery, and permanent results. Dr. Matt Goldschmidt offers the highly customizable liquid facelift to give patients a smoother and more youthful appearance without needing incisions or general anesthesia. This treatment involves the use of various dermal fillers that stimulate the natural production of collagen for natural and effective rejuvenation results.
Candidates
Men and women who wish to minimize signs of facial aging without surgery may consider the liquid facelift if they are in good health and have a realistic expectation of their results. Furthermore, the best candidates for this treatment are concerned about one or more of the following imperfections:
- Facial creases
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hollowed cheeks
- Thinning lips
Liquid facelift Options
Depending on your specific needs and cosmetic objectives, the following injectable products may be used:
- JUVÉDERM®: A hyaluronic acid gel that is appropriate for filling in fine lines and replenishing lost facial volume.
- Restylane®: An all-natural filler used to plump the skin and restore volume to aging lips.

Procedure
The liquid facelift involves a series of dermal filler treatments over the course of several months, resulting in a smooth surface and a youthful glow. Your provider can apply a topical anesthetic to the injection sites for optimal comfort. You and Dr. Goldschmidt will determine the details of your procedure during your initial consultation with Dr. Goldschmidt. Each appointment can be completed in 30 minutes or less.
Recovery
Men and women who opt for the liquid facelift do not need to rest after treatment. Patients may experience minor tenderness or redness in the treated areas, but these side effects resolve quickly. Patients can resume all normal activities immediately, but Dr. Goldschmidt recommends avoiding strenuous or high-impact exercises for at least 24 hours.
