Combining Botox and Fillers for the Ultimate “Liquid Face-Lift”

What if there was a way to erase wrinkles and restore facial volume for comprehensive anti-aging effects without going under the knife? With injectables, it's now possible to achieve results similar to a face-lift — no surgery required.

In the past, removing wrinkles and adding volume to your face was only possible with the help of surgical intervention. Today, with a few well-placed injectables, our providers at me.losangeles aesthetics in West Hollywood, California, can smooth your skin and add youthful plumpness to your facial features at the same time.

The combination of Botox® and dermal fillers is called a “liquid face-lift,” as it uses injectables instead of traditional surgery to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and rejuvenate facial contours.

Want to learn more? Read on to discover how two types of injectables replicate the results of a face-lift with no incisions or downtime needed.

How Botox addresses the signs of aging

Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that tells your muscles to contract. When your skin is no longer folding repeatedly, lines caused by movement — such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and horizontal forehead lines — disappear.

The treatment is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option if you’re always on the go.

How fillers address the signs of aging

Dermal filler injectables consist of various substances that are injected to replenish lost volume, smooth out static wrinkles, and enhance the shape and structure of your face. Common ingredients in dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid and poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra®).

Hyaluronic acid is softer and more likely to be used in your lips and underneath your eyes, while Sculptra is used where the filler needs to be firmer. An added benefit of Sculptra is that it not only replaces lost volume but also stimulates new collagen production.

In a liquid face-lift, fillers are used to:

Add volume to your cheeks
Soften smile lines
Restore volume to your lips
Enhance your jawline
Fill in under-eye hollows

Unlike Botox, which targets muscle movements, fillers address volume loss and static wrinkles that are visible even when your face is at rest.

A liquid face-lift isn’t meant to replace a traditional face-lift, but it can produce dramatic changes in those showing early or moderate signs of aging. Good candidates for a liquid face-lift have fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume in the face but don’t have much laxity or excess skin that can only be removed via surgery.
