Insider Tips
Fillers are not one-size-fits-all.
Fillers come in many types and formulations. Variety is essential for creating natural results from brow to chin. Your forehead, nose, and lips all have dramatically different needs, and having many types of fillers available ensures that each area receives the treatment that is best for optimal results. Choose a provider that understands the unique properties of each filler and how and where to use them to their full potential to achieve natural-looking results.
Cannulas can be used for filler placement.
Cannulas can be used for filler placement, reducing discomfort and improving safety for many patients. Ask your injector if a cannula is a good choice for you.
Our advanced injectors are the ideal choice for your injectable needs.
Choose an injector with an in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and extensive experience using top filler products. Our advanced injectors are the ideal choice for your injectable needs due to their advanced training in facial anatomy and aesthetics.
What Is An Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery Liquid Facelift?
When you think of facial rejuvenation, surgery is probably the first thing to come to mind. Surgery is highly effective at tightening loose skin and smoothing wrinkles, but it isn’t always the right fit. Maybe you’re too busy for downtime or perhaps you’re just starting to notice signs of aging and aren’t ready for a surgical procedure.
A liquid facelift is an alternative to facelift surgery. This procedure uses dermal fillers to add volume and recreate a youthful face shape. Botulinum toxins, like Botox®, may also be used as an adjunct to relax lines and wrinkles around the eyes and brows to enhance your result. By combining fillers and Botox, patients can enjoy a refreshed appearance without the incisions or downtime of a traditional facelift.
Other names for a liquid facelift include non-surgical facelift and lunchtime facelift.

It is an excellent option for many patients, but if surgery would produce better results, we’ll let you know.

You may be a good candidate for a non-surgical facelift at Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery if:

What Happens During a Liquid Facelift in Michigan?
If you’ve ever received a cosmetic injectable treatment at Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery, you already know what to expect from your treatment.
Pre-Treatment Examination
We’ll examine your face, carefully pinpointing treatment areas, choosing the most effective injectables, and deciding how much product is needed.
Topical Anesthetic
A numbing cream is applied to the skin in the area to be injected about 15-30 minutes prior to treatment to reduce any discomfort associated with the procedure.
Injections
You’ll receive a series of injections in various areas of the face to target the main areas of concern and rejuvenate your appearance.
The whole treatment takes about 30 minutes and as soon as we’re done, you can return to your regular daily activities with minimal restrictions. The results of dermal fillers are noticeable instantly. If Botox is also used, its smoothing effect can be seen 7-14 days after treatment.
Non-Surgical Facelift Recovery
One of the biggest benefits of a liquid facelift is its minimal recovery. Most patients are back to life immediately.
Few Activity Restrictions
– We ask patients to avoid strenuous exercise for a day. Don’t rub or massage the treated areas. Patients can return to work immediately and can wear makeup to cover redness or bruising after their procedure.
Common Side Effects
– Side effects are minimal after this procedure. Patients sometimes report redness, tenderness, and swelling in the treated areas. These side effects are usually minor and resolve on their own in a few days.
Minimal Downtime
– No downtime is necessary and most patients don’t take time off work.
Dermal fillers and Botox provide temporary results. If you want to maintain your new look, you’ll need to come in for treatment every few months. We’ll help you create a treatment schedule so you will always look your best.

How long does a liquid facelift last?
Results typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of products used and how your body metabolizes them. Periodic maintenance treatments can help extend and enhance your results over time.
Who is a good candidate for a liquid facelift?
Ideal candidates are those with early to moderate signs of aging who want noticeable facial rejuvenation without surgery. It’s best for individuals seeking volume restoration, wrinkle reduction, and subtle lifting without the downtime of a facelift.
Is there any downtime after a liquid facelift?
There’s little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
Are Results Natural Looking After a Non-Surgical Facelift?
When this treatment is performed by a skilled injector, results are very natural looking.
How quickly will I see results from a liquid facelift?
You’ll see immediate improvement in volume and contour from the dermal fillers, with additional smoothing effects from neuromodulators appearing within 3 to 7 days. Final results typically settle in about 1 to 2 weeks.
