Liquid facelifts are more subtle than surgical facelifts. The results won't be as dramatic. However, they can make your skin look more plump and youthful. It is effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.
Results from a liquid facelift are long-lasting but not permanent. They tend to last between 6 to 8 months, and with certain filler types can last as long as 24 months.

A liquid facelift is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes injectables (or fillers) to achieve a more youthful appearance. These fillers are intended to help soften the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face, plump up the skin, and reduce sagging.
Ideal candidates for a liquid facelift include patients who have mild signs of aging (fine lines and wrinkles or minimal volume loss) and do not have excessively sagging skin or developed jowls.
Liquid Facelift (full face – anti-aging)
Sometimes patients do also take this opportunity to tweak or enhance certain features, but when anti-aging alone is the goal, patients usually need between 4 and 10 syringes, depending upon age.
Why? When the facelift is performed, the skin is tightened and it can flatten out the jowls because the skin is tighter. However, over time as the skin relaxes, the full fatty jowls will restretch out the skin and the jowls will reappear. Weight loss prior to face lift surgery is very important for these people.
Liquid facelifts are generally safe, provided you find a board-licensed professional to administer them. But, some common risks come with getting a liquid facelift. Bruises form in the injection areas, particularly if you get injections near your eyes.

In most cases, a facelift works best for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s when signs of aging begin to become prevalent. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are the result of the aging process and can be best corrected through surgical techniques rather than non-surgical ones.
Fillers also can't lift the facial muscles or fat pads and, therefore, the results don't last as long either. The results from most fillers last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years (although some last longer), while the results of facelift surgery can last 10 years or more.
Wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin type A is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for non-surgical facelifts. It helps relax certain wrinkle-causing muscles in the face, producing a younger and more refreshed appearance.
Nano Facelift is a non-surgical procedure that reduces signs of ageing. It is designed to turn back the ageing clock by adding volume and 'lifting' the face.

And, the remainder of the face for example for facelift or blepharoplasty. However, it is advisable to have these fillers dissolved with an antidote.
How much is in one syringe of filler? Most fillers come in a syringe with 1mL of product. That is approximately 1/5th of a teaspoon. A small amount of product can go a long way, but many times optimal results require more than one syringe to obtain.
