Liquid Facelift in New Orleans, LA

A liquid facelift is a cosmetic treatment that helps patients enjoy the effects of a surgical facelift without having to undergo a complex procedure. For a more youthful appearance, Dr. Michelle Eagan uses a mixture of wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers to refresh the complexion and add volume to the skin. The injectable dermal fillers add volume to the skin while decreasing fine lines, and the wrinkle relaxers create a smoother complexion.

Ideal candidates for a liquid facelift are men and women who want to decrease the signs of aging and add volume to the skin without undergoing cosmetic surgery.

Additionally, a liquid facelift adds volume to the skin, which contours your cheeks and softens your features. A liquid facelift at New Orleans Plastic Surgery can lift sagging eyelids, add volume to hollow temples or cheeks, and decrease bags and dark circles. Additionally, it works well for men and women seeking quick results.

Before your procedure, Dr. Eagan will consider your cosmetic goals and select the best mixture of injectables. For both dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers, Dr. Eagan starts your procedure by marking the injection sites. This will help her place the injectables in the best spots. Next, your skin is cleaned, and we apply local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Using a thin dermal needle and syringe, Dr. Eagan will inject fillers and relaxers into the desired treatment areas. Dr. Eagan can perform this nonsurgical procedure in-office and within a matter of minutes.

At our New Orleans, LA practice, we only use wrinkle relaxers and fillers approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Right after your procedure, you can see the final results of your fillers. However, with wrinkle relaxers, it can take 3 – 7 days before seeing your final results. If you are interested in additional plastic surgery treatments, you may need to wait until your treatment areas have fully healed. The longevity of your results depends on the products we used during your liquid facelift. Some products only last for 3 – 4 months while others last much longer. To maintain your results, we will help you determine when to schedule your follow-up appointment.

Are liquid facelifts safe?

Yes, liquid facelifts are generally considered safe for a majority of patients. All of the wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers used for our liquid facelifts are FDA-approved safe and effective.

How much does a liquid facelift typically cost?

The cost for a liquid facelift will depend on which injectables are used to achieve your desired results. During your consultation with Dr. Eagan, she will examine your skin and talk to you about your aesthetic goals to create a customized liquid facelift plan for you. After your personalized plan has been formulated, we will be able to estimate your costs. Our financial team can also talk with you about different payment methods.

What is the difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?

Wrinkle relaxers work to reduce and smooth dynamic wrinkles and lines by relaxing the muscles that cause them. Dermal fillers reduce lines, especially around the mouth, replace lost volume, usually in the cheek area, and plump up the lips by injecting an FDA-approved filler (usually hyaluronic acid).

How long do the results of a liquid facelift last?

The results of a liquid facelift can be long-lasting, and many can see their results last months or years depending on the products used. While wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX® typically last about four months, dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® can last up to a year. Most patients opt to have maintenance procedures at about 6 –12 months, depending on their needs and aesthetic goals.

How long does a liquid facelift procedure take?

The procedure typically takes about 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the specific areas being treated. It is performed in-office and requires minimal downtime.

Will there be visible marks after a liquid facelift?

The treatment is noninvasive and typically does not leave any visible marks. Temporary redness or swelling may occur but usually resolves quickly.

Whether you want additional volume or to reduce signs of aging, a liquid facelift can help you achieve your desired results.
