Liquid Lifts: Eyes, Cheeks and Lips

Liquid lifts are treatments we use to rejuvenate or enhance facial features while avoiding a pulled, artificial look.  A liquid eye lift is an in-office treatment to rejuvenate the lower eyelids without surgery.

Traditional lower eyelid surgery reduces the bags but involves the risks and downtime of surgery.  It can also leave a flattened look to the eyes.  Instead of surgery, I now carefully place long-lasting filler around the grooves of the lower lids, which can provide a more youthful, natural-appearing look.  The treatment is done in the office and requires no anesthesia.

When it comes to restoring a more youthful appearance to the eyes, I feel the results of my Liquid Lifts can meet and even surpass those of the surgical lifts that I have performed for decades.

During your consultation, I use computer imaging to review the goals of a liquid eye lift, as well as explain other possible nonsurgical options, such as a liquid cheek lift, Botox® injections, or filler injections in other areas of the face.

By replacing the lost volume of the central face, especially around the eyes, we can restore a more natural appearance of youth while improving distracting signs of old age, such as grooves and bags beneath the eyes.  This is often combined with more traditional use of fillers around the mouth to soften fine lines.

Another service offered at Loomis Plastic Surgery is lip augmentation.  Fillers placed in the lips can enhance the natural curves of your lips and balance out an upper and lower lip.  We now have Volbella® for long-lasting lip enlargement!

The lip enlargements are done with a cannula for safety and comfort.  In the FDA study, most patients still felt they had a significant lip enlargement at one year following injection.  The amount of filler used can be adjusted in 0.5cc increments according to your goals (1.0cc, 1.5cc, 2.0cc).
