THE LIQUID LIFT
Maintaining a youthful appearance doesn’t always require an invasive procedure with dramatic results and a long recovery time. “With a careful, proactive approach, we can delay the need for more invasive procedures and combat the visible signs of aging,” Dr. Sweis says. Over time, the face loses fat; the skin loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid; and the facial bones subtly recede. Combined with the effects of gravity, the face begins to droop and lose definition. By using Botox® to relax the facial muscles, and softtissue fillers, such as Juvéderm™, Restylane® and Radiesse®, to restore lost volume and treat facial depressions and wrinkles, Dr. Sweis can rejuvenate the face for a refreshed look. “The liquid facelift is ideal for those patients who aren’t quite ready for surgery.”
