Skin aging occurs as a natural result of genetic factors, environmental effects and time, with loosening of the facial contour, loss of volume and fine lines. Liquid facelift is an innovative aesthetic procedure used to alleviate these symptoms and restore a more youthful, dynamic appearance to the face without the need for surgical intervention. So, what is liquid facelift, how is it done and who is it suitable for? Let’s examine it in detail.
What is Liquid Facelift?
Liquid facelift is a procedure that uses dermal fillers and injection techniques such as Botox to reduce the signs of aging on the skin. With this method, volume is added to facial lines, skin tightening is achieved and signs of aging are alleviated without a surgical face lift. It is an ideal option especially to compensate for facial volume loss, fill sunken areas and achieve a younger appearance.
How is Liquid Face Lift Applied?
A liquid facelift is usually performed with a combination of fillers (such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers) and botulinum toxin (Botox) injections.
- Fillers: Used to add volume to areas such as cheekbones, nasolabial lines, lip area and chin. These substances are injected into the lower layers of the skin, eliminating the sunken appearance and shaping facial contours.
- Botox: It is applied in areas where dynamic wrinkles occur, such as the forehead, eye area (crow’s feet) and between the eyebrows. Botox temporarily restricts the movement of the muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and giving the facial features a more rested expression.
The procedure usually takes 15-45 minutes, and patient comfort is ensured by using local anesthetic creams or cooling applications during the procedure.

Liquid facelift is suitable for people with early to mid-level signs of aging. The ideal approach for people whose signs of aging are very visible is a surgical face lift. It is difficult to achieve good results with Liquid Facelift techniques in this patient group, and an unnatural, rough appearance may appear on the patient’s face.
