Instead of making large surgical facelift incisions, in order to simply pull tight and redrape your old, volume-depleted skin on to the old appearing, shrunken bony structures that support the face and leaving large unsightly scars behind, after weeks of downtime, surgical dressings, swelling and bruising, the liquid facelift can obtain comparable results without any scars, downtime, bruising or surgery. Plus, you avoid the possible complications of using general anesthesia.
