What Is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic service designed to restore volume, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. It can help achieve a more refreshed appearance without the downtime associated with surgery.
One popular variation of the liquid facelift is the VolumaLift™, which utilizes JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA®, a specialized dermal filler formulated with hyaluronic acid.
VolumaLift is not like traditional facelift surgery, which often results in a taut or gaunt look. Instead, it restores youthfulness immediately by replacing the volume that has been lost over time.
Benefits of VolumaLift Over a Traditional Facelift
There are several reasons why we recommend a liquid facelift over a traditional facelift, specifically for those who prefer a less invasive solution:
- VolumaLift does not create that gaunt/pulled look
- VolumaLift does not require downtime
- VolumaLift does not require general anesthesia
- VolumaLift uses no incisions and leaves no scars
- VolumaLift outcomes are immediate without surgery
- VolumaLift contours & restores a youthful appearance naturally and beautifully
Problems a Liquid Facelift Can Address
Aging is inevitable, and along with it come issues like crow's feet, frown lines, worry lines, deep furrows, and folds. Our cheeks gradually begin to seem hollow as well, thanks to the loss of facial volume and the breakdown of the facial support structure (collagen and elastin).
Some common issues that stem from natural aging include:
- Brow wrinkles
- Deep wrinkles between the eyes
- Crow's feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
- Undereye bags
- Lower eyelid bags
- Sunken/hollow lower eyelids
- Sunken/hollow cheeks
- Nasolabial folds (deep lines from nose to jowl)
- Lines around mouth
- Flat, skinny lips
- Jowls or sagging skin around the lower face
With help from VolumaLift, you can combat these issues and enjoy a more vibrant, youthful look.
Ideal Liquid Facelift Candidates
Ideal candidates for a liquid facelift are seeking non-surgical solutions to address mild to moderate signs of aging. You might be an excellent candidate if you:
- Have Signs of Volume Loss or Fine Lines: Most patients have noticed sagging skin, hollowed areas, or wrinkles.
- Are in Good General Health: Candidates should not have medical conditions that may interfere with the treatment or healing process.Â
- Seek Natural-Looking Changes: A liquid facelift is perfect for individuals who want subtle yet noticeable improvements.
- Understand Results Are Temporary: Ideal candidates are comfortable with periodic maintenance sessions. These help to sustain their refreshed appearance.
A skilled provider like Dr. Banta at Stone Oak Dermatology can help you determine whether VolumaLift aligns with your goals and needs.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Here is a general breakdown of what you can expect during a VolumaLift session:
- Consultation and Planning: Before the procedure, your provider will discuss your goals. They will also examine your facial structure to create a personalized care plan.
- Preparation: Next, they will clean the treatment area and apply a topical numbing cream. This will keep you comfortable during the procedure.
- Precise Injections: Your provider will carefully inject dermal fillers into areas with volume loss, such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. They may also use wrinkle-smoothing injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic to relax fine lines and crow's feet.
- Contouring and Balance: They will place the injections to achieve natural-looking results and enhance facial harmony.
The entire VolumaLift procedure usually takes around 30 minutes. Most patients can return to their regular activities shortly after, too. It's a convenient facial rejuvenation option for those with busy schedules.

How Long Does a Liquid Facelift Last?
On average, liquid facelift results last about 8 months, although they can last longer. Unlike a surgical facelift, you are not committed to the outcomes for life. In fact, if you don't like the effects of your liquid facelift, your provider can easily dissolve the filler with no lasting issues.
