As one ages, the body slowly loses its capability to cope with stress and injury.
In the skin, this manifests as a loss of collagen and elastin -the molecules responsible for making skin supple, elastic and flexible.
Aging, therefore, becomes associated with wrinkles, creases, folds, and sagging skin and facial features.
Predictably, a lot of people do not want to age and would rather reverse the aging process.
One technique to achieve younger-looking skin and face is the liquid face lift.
A liquid face lift involves the injection of Botox and dermal fillers.
Botox is a bacterial toxin that was originally used to straighten skin wrinkles and folds.
Injecting Botox with dermal fillers leads to a change in facial contours, with the additional benefit of wrinkle removal.
Different combination of Botox and dermal fillers will yield various results.
The technique of injection also affects how the facial features will change.
In general, people opt to have this procedure performed to change the contour of a specific facial feature, to reduce wrinkles, to restore the natural and younger facial contours, and to achieve a younger and more energetic appearance.
Like any other procedure, Botox and dermal filler injection has risks and side effects.
There will be swelling, bruising and tenderness for some time after the procedure.
This can be accompanied by headaches.
In addition, there is the possibility of developing an infection.
In some cases, the patient may feel a lump or a group of lumps near around the area of injection.
They usually cannot be assessed with the eyes, and may not be obvious to others.
These lumps are also transient and will resolve with time.
Since the Botox and dermal fillers injected are foreign substances, then it is possible for the body to react negatively to the injection.
The area of injection becomes inflamed and can form a nodule, a papule, or a granuloma.
They are bumps on the skin at most 5 cm in diameter, and thus, are easily visible.
They not only disfigure the face, but represent a threat to the health status of the person.
They will subside only after additional treatment with steroids and antibiotics.
Any error on the part of the doctor performing the procedure can yield to a wide range of effects.
Some people experience ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid.
Sometimes, the doctor may inject the Botox and/or dermal fillers into a blood vessel.
This can cause a block in the blood vessel, so that the area it supplies is damaged.
Eventually, it can potentially lead to necrosis, or dying off of the skin in that part of the face.
Moreover, this procedure is extremely dangerous for people who are hypersensitive or have allergic reactions.
People with histories of cardiovascular disease and neuromuscular disorders are also strongly advised to not undergo this procedure.
If you strongly desire or need to change the contours of your face, then a liquid face lift is just the thing for you.
However, after being fully aware of the risks and dangers of such a procedure, one should always consider other alternatives.
