Liquid Facelift Before & After Case 92

The smile lines are some of the first wrinkles to appear with age. Natural volume loss with age continues to deepen these wrinkles & folds. As a result, women commonly ask plastic surgeons and dermatologists to treat this area early. Office treatments with facial filler injections can help soften and reduce these wrinkles and are some of the most popular treatments in a cosmetic practice.

This working woman wanted to improve her smile lines, otherwise known as nasolabial folds. She did not want to take time off work for cosmetic surgery, yet rejuvenating the area around the mouth was very important to her. Lastly, she did not want extreme or dramatic results, but rather preferred subtle changes over time. In the office, she underwent Juvederm injection after numbing the area with an anesthetic cream. She and her family were very happy with the natural results from this "non-surgical facelift", and returned to work the day after treatment. Other non-surgical options for injectable facial fillers include Radiesse, Restylane, and Belotero.
