Liquid Facelift

Liquid Facelift in Virginia Beach, VA

Over time, facial volume and skin elasticity diminish, resulting in a worn or aged appearance. Unfortunately, volume loss in the face cannot be corrected with a traditional facelift and, in fact, the facelift can actually exacerbate this condition. Dr. Kyle Choe of Virginia Beach, Virginia, is a board certified facial plastic surgeon with a special interest in facial rejuvenation. His extensive experience has taught him that volume loss must be restored with volume replacement. For this reason he performs the liquid facelift, or nonsurgical facelift, using a variety of injectables to replenish lost volume and lift the face.

The liquid facelift is a great alternative to traditional facelift surgery for those seeking a nonsurgical means of rejuvenating the face. It is ideal for individuals who are looking to improve volume loss in the cheeks, hollowed areas, deep folds and smile lines, and minimal jowls. Fillers can also be used to disguise a small bump on the nose. This is a quick, easy procedure which can produce amazing results by restoring a more youthful facial appearance without any incisions.

Dr. Choe performs the liquid facelift in the office setting at the Choe Center. The procedure takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes to complete. Anesthesia is not necessary, but a topical anesthetic may be used if desired. Depending on the patient, Dr. Choe will use Botox to relax dynamic lines like frown lines and crow’s feet. He will then use a variety of injectable fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse or Sculptra to restore lost volume in the face and help reduce wrinkles.

There is minimal recovery following the liquid facelift and patients are able to return to work and other normal activities immediately or the next day. Complications are generally rare and temporary but may include bruising, headache and skin irritation.
