Combine the Benefits of Rejuvenating Treatments in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many people want to improve their appearance but are not quite ready for surgery—and that's OK! The "Bengtson Beauty Lift" is a liquid facelift for Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Birmingham patients who are seeking a younger look without a lengthy recovery time.
The term "liquid facelift" actually refers to a combination of "lunchtime" treatments involving injectable gels and formulas made specifically to rejuvenate particular regions of the face and address or even prevent specific signs of aging.
When used strategically and in harmony, they can generate temporary results that give an entire face an overall look of rejuvenation.* Also, since the liquid facelift is not a set, single procedure, it can be customized to the patient. Women in their 20s may need only a slight smoothing and some preventative muscle relaxing in order to look their best, while women in their 30s and 40s can target increasingly visible "problem" areas where wrinkles have formed. Age-related loss of volume can be countered by injectables specifically designed to lift sagging tissue and stimulate new collagen production. There is truly something for patients of any age.

A liquid facelift may include dermal fillers, BOTOX Cosmetic, skin-tightening Ultherapy, and more. BOTOX relaxes key facial muscles to reduce the appearance of certain lines, and tissue fillers such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane Refyne can restore lost volume and treat facial lines and wrinkles. Ultherapy lifts, tones, and tightens loose skin on the brow, neck, and under the chin. The result? A face that looks naturally rejuvenated and refreshed!*
Each nonsurgical treatment offers its own results that generally last for a specific amount of time. BOTOX, for instance, has been shown to smooth out wrinkles for three to six months, while the added volume from VOLUMA can last for two years.*
The Bengtson Center team takes all of this into account when creating the unique elements of a liquid facelift for you. The ultimate goal is to generate natural results that create a youthful impression for the face as a whole. Surgical results are intended to be longer lasting than the effects of a liquid facelift, as many lifting procedures involve Dr. Bengtson or Dr. Alfonso physically tightening loose skin, removing the excess, and suturing the tissues into place. Once incisions heal and sutures are removed, your face should look years younger and will continue to age from that point.*
Other patients benefit from a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures. Dr. Bengtson or Dr. Alfonso might recommend combining a short-incision facelift with a liquid facelift's dermal fillers and BOTOX, or he might recommend some of the newer technologies such as Ultherapy or a nonsurgical lifting and tightening system using focused ultrasound. No matter the specifics involved in your Grand Rapids liquid facelift, know that Dr. Bengtson and Dr. Alfonso are two of the top board-certified plastic surgeon national trainers for BOTOX and JUVÉDERM products, including VOLUMA XC, and more. If you're interested in a liquid facelift Grand Rapids' Bengtson Center has you in good hands with Dr. Bengtson, Dr. Alfonso, and their team of Aesthetic Experts!
Over time, the face loses volume, including fat, and the skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
The facial bones also subtly recede. Combined with the long-term effects of gravity, the face begins to droop and lose fullness and definition. Although a good number of women and men turn to surgical procedures such as facelift, eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty, or brow lift surgery, Grand Rapids Plastic Surgeon Dr. Brad Bengtson believes that many patients can benefit from early intervention with a proactive, non-surgical approach, combatting the visible signs of aging and successfully delaying the need for more extensive, invasive procedures.
