Introduction to Liquid Facelift

At our boutique practice just minutes from the beautiful pacific ocean in Newport Beach, nonsurgical facelift, also referred to as a liquid facelift, is a noninvasive procedure performed by Dr. Michael J. Sundine on his men and women Orange County & Southern California patients. Below, we’ve included information about the treatment, frequently asked questions, and more information about Dr. Sundine.

What is a Liquid Facelift or Non-Surgical Facelift?

This procedure has become increasingly more popular over the last several years. Many patients either feel they are not quite ready for surgery or don’t have the time to set aside for recovery. In today’s aesthetics, that will not stop you from being able to make beautiful improvements to your face and look years younger.

The treatment uses facial fillers rather than surgery to help rejuvenate the face, providing a more youthful appearance. It is important to understand that there are limitations with a liquid facelift and that depending on the aesthetic goals of the patient, sometimes only a traditional facelift can achieve a certain degree of longevity and improvements.

At times, Dr. Sundine will suggest also BOTOX or other facial treatments to help compliment the specialty dermal fillers he uses during our Newport Beach liquid facelift. We will be very detailed with the treatment and place patient saftey as our top priority, striving for natural-looking beautiful results.

What’s the Difference between a facelift and a liquid facelift?

The main difference is that a liquid facelift is nonsurgical and a facelift is a surgical procedure. With a facelift, we are surgically tightening the skin and underlying muscles. Whereas a liquid facelift, we are using dermal fillers to add volume and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

How long will the results last?

A nonsurgical facelift will last for one to two years. This can be a great procedure for patients who aren’t quite ready for a full facelift. Many of our liquid facelift patients do this procedure before electing for the more traditional, surgical operation.

Is a liquid facelift safe?

Absolutely. It is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers to plump the face and reduce lax skin and wrinkles.

Does a liquid facelift hurt?

There may be some slight discomfort, but the treatment should not be painful. We can offer a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment areas. After the treatment, there may be some redness and bruising, but it should subside within a few days.

Patient Reviews & Testimonials

"I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE!!!"

I gave Dr. Sundine the highest possible review in each category because he truly deserved the highest reviews on every level. I am a very well recognized lawyer on the West Coast. My firm has spent millions of dollars on television advertising in which I appear. I could not afford to have a bad face lift or even for people to notice I had a face lift at all. I interviewed many physicians including some of the “celebrity” physicians. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Sundine because he performs highly complex complete facial reconstruction procedures on children. I figured if he was so skilled that he could perform such incredibly difficult procedures on a child, I was confident he could perform a face lift with which I would be happy. The results were so far beyond my expectations that I could hardly believe. I look literally ten years younger. I am incredibly happy with the results and they seem to get better and better as the healing continues. I never had a problem getting a return call or making an appointment. Dr. Sundine is always pleasant and answers all of my questions. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

After much research and multiple visits to other surgeons, I knew right away that Dr. Sundine was the perfect choice for me. He is gentle and kind and genuinely listens to you.
