What Is a Liquid Facelift?
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure that uses injectables – including Botox®, Dysport®, and dermal fillers such as Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra – to address wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging tissue. Unlike surgery, which physically lifts skin and underlying tissues, the liquid facelift is performed with fine injections at strategic facial points, instantly smoothing lines, restoring fullness to hollow or sunken areas, and lifting contours of the cheeks, jawline, and brow.
For many patients, the best part is not just the speed or minimal recovery, but how subtle and natural the results appear. In many cases, patients leave the office looking refreshed and revitalized that same day. This option is ideal for anyone with mild to moderate signs of aging who wants noticeable improvements without the downtime and commitment of surgery.
What Issues Can a Liquid Facelift Address?
A liquid facelift is extremely versatile, addressing a wide range of facial aging concerns. Common improvements include smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles – like crow’s feet, frown lines, and nasolabial folds – with Botox or other neuromodulators that relax muscles. Volume loss in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes is restored with fillers, providing a lifted and more youthful contour.
Fillers are also used to improve sagging skin around the jawline and cheeks, helping to sculpt and enhance overall facial symmetry. Hollow or sunken areas around the mouth, eyes, or temples are plumped with natural-looking fullness. Each plan is customized for your individual needs and anatomy, so you never look overdone or artificial.
What Is Involved in a Liquid Facelift?
Your experience begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Stepanyan or Dr. Lee will carefully assess your features and have an open discussion about your goals, concerns, and preferences. Together, you’ll create a plan for injectables targeting your key areas, often combining fillers for volume and lift with Botox for smoothing dynamic lines. The procedure itself usually lasts from 30 to 60 minutes.
Your surgeon will use a fine needle to inject the chosen products with high precision, sculpting and enhancing your appearance in real time. There is minimal discomfort and, thanks to numbing creams and lidocaine in most fillers, the experience is easy for most patients. After treatment, you may return to regular activities immediately or within hours, with only mild swelling or bruising that fades quickly.
Results are visible as soon as you leave our office, and your refreshed, more youthful look will continue to improve as fillers settle over several days. Depending on the products, improvements may last from 6 months to 2 years.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Liquid Facelift in Los Angeles?
Candidates for a liquid facelift are typically healthy adults who wish to address signs of aging – such as wrinkles, mild sagging, volume loss – without undergoing surgery. If you have realistic expectations, want subtle but visible enhancement, and prefer minimal downtime, this could be a great option for you. Most liquid facelift patients have mild to moderate aging; those with more advanced sagging or skin laxity may be better candidates for a traditional facelift.

FAQs: Liquid Facelift in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles
The results of a liquid facelift can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on which injectables are used and your individual response to treatment. Fillers such as Juvéderm® and Restylane® typically last about 9–12 months, while Sculptra is known for results that can endure for up to two years. Botox® usually lasts around 3–4 months for dynamic wrinkles, so maintaining your refreshed appearance may involve scheduled touch-ups with both neuromodulators and fillers.
Most patients experience little to no pain during a liquid facelift. The products used often contain lidocaine (a numbing agent), and numbing cream may further reduce discomfort before injections begin. Some describe brief pinching or pressure, but the procedure is generally very tolerable. Mild swelling or tenderness can occur afterward but resolve quickly.
One of the top advantages of a liquid facelift is the lack of downtime. You can usually return to work and normal activities the same day, or within a day or two at most. Any minor swelling or bruising is usually easy to conceal and fades fast, making this an ideal “lunchtime” rejuvenation procedure.
Many patients do combine a liquid facelift with other non-surgical or surgical treatments. Examples include pairing injectables with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), chemical peels, or skin resurfacing for enhanced skin texture and rejuvenation. Dr. Stepanyan and Dr. Lee will recommend a strategy that aligns with your goals and ensures natural-looking, cohesive results.
Yes, when performed by experienced injectors like Dr. Stepanyan and Dr. Lee, the results of a liquid facelift are subtle and natural-looking. Their expertise ensures enhancements are proportional and harmonious, never overdone. Patients consistently report looking like a refreshed version of themselves, not “frozen” or artificially filled.
There is little to no downtime required. You might notice some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but most patients resume daily life right away. These effects typically fade within a few hours or days. You’ll receive aftercare instructions for the best recovery and results.
A liquid facelift is a non-surgical procedure using dermal fillers and Botox® to restore volume, smooth lines, and lift tissue for an immediate youthful effect. A surgical facelift physically lifts and tightens the skin and underlying structures for more dramatic, longer-lasting results. Surgery involves anesthesia, incisions, and recovery time. The liquid facelift provides instant, natural results with no surgery, but those with significant sagging or advanced signs of aging may benefit more from a traditional facelift.
The cost varies depending on the number and type of injectables used, as well as your personalized treatment plan. Most patients invest between $1,500 and $4,000 for a comprehensive liquid facelift. During your consultation, you’ll receive a precise estimate tailored to your needs and goals.
When performed by qualified, artistic injectors like Dr. Stepanyan and Dr. Lee, your results will look natural and harmonious, never “overfilled,” rigid, or fake. The procedure restores a refreshed, rested look and enhances your own features rather than changing your unique identity.
After your liquid facelift, you should avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and excess sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours. You’ll also be instructed not to rub, massage, or sleep directly on treated areas to ensure fillers settle properly. Dr. Stepanyan will provide tailored aftercare instructions, helping you maximize your outcome and minimize side effects.
Touch-up treatments are typically needed every 6 to 12 months for most fillers, though the specific frequency depends on the products used and your body’s metabolism. Botox® for wrinkles may require refreshers every 3–4 months. During follow-ups, your provider can create a personalized maintenance plan to keep your results at their best year-round.
