The majority of us would prefer to avoid going under the knife when possible. However, the results of a facelift can be stunning and many men and women wish to rejuvenate their skin and see a more youthful version of themselves when they look in the mirror. This is why non-surgical procedures are quickly gaining popularity as a means of improving facial appearance by restoring the contours of the face without cost, risk, or downtime associated with major surgery.
A non-surgical facelift is most frequently a procedure known as a liquid facelift. During this procedure, your dermatologist will use injectable fillers to restore volume to the face and restore your skin to a more youthful look.

A non-surgical facelift combines several effective anti-aging techniques into one procedure aimed at rejuvenating the face. These treatments include the use of dermal fillers to replace volume loss, neurotoxins to smooth the skin, chemical peels to rejuvenate the skin’s texture, and laser treatments to achieve total facial rejuvenation.

All About Recovery Times and Results
Some patients experience discomfort and some swelling following their non-surgical facelift. This type of reaction is normal but should be monitored to ensure that the swelling is not excessive since this can point to an abnormal reaction to the procedure.
