Introduction to
A Liquid Facelift is a non-surgical procedure that allows for full-facial rejuvenation using a singular or combination of Dermal Fillers and Injectables to strategically lift portions of your face.
Dr. Schlesinger has extensive experience with advanced fillers. Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane®, Perlane®, Radiesse®, and Sculptra® are artfully used to sculpt the face by replacing lost volume due to fat and bone loss. He often chooses a combination of fillers with varying characteristics to best shape each face. He can diminish or correct such problems as drooping eyebrows, dark under-eye circles, sunken areas from under the eyes to the cheek, frown lines, flat cheeks, weak chin, jowls, jawline hollows, and scars. These next-generation dermal fillers provide longer-lasting and more natural results. All of the products used are FDA-approved. For more information on our Injectables and Facial Filers, please read their respective pages on our website.

First Steps
The first step in getting a Liquid Facelift in Honolulu, Hawaii is to schedule a consultation at Mommy Makeover Hawaii. During your appointment, you will meet with Dr. Schlesinger or a member of our Aesthetics team, where you will be able to ask any and all of the questions you may have and express your treatment goals. You will receive an examination of your face followed by a discussion of your options for different types of fillers that can be used. You will also be asked some questions regarding your medical history, so it’s important to be open and honest when talking about your history so that any unnecessary risks or side effects can be avoided. Finally, your treatment plan will be made, and if you agree with it, you can have your procedure performed immediately following your consultation. If you would like to reschedule for another day for any reason, our Patient Coordinator will help you select the best day and time for your treatment.
When you come into our office for your Liquid Facelift, you will be able to make yourself comfortable in our reclining chair. A topical anesthetic will be applied to the targeted areas to numb your face during the treatment, and your provider may begin plotting out the points with tiny marks where they are planning to make the injections. Once the two of you are ready, the specific dermal filler decided upon during your consultation will be used to enhance your target areas.
Once the filler has been inserted, you will be gently massaged to move the filler around so it’s evenly distributed, which will then be assessed, adding more filler when necessary. Once you are finished, your face will be gently cleaned off and any markings will be removed. You may also receive an ice pack to lightly apply to your face to minimize any excessive swelling or bruising.
When you are finished with your treatment, you will be able to leave and continue your normal routine, but we like to recommend using the rest of the day to relax and avoid any activity that could accidentally move the filler around. We will provide you with instructions that should help you make the most of your treatment, which includes the proper technique to lightly massage your face. You can expect some bruising and redness, but this should heal on its own within a day or two. Once the swelling goes away, you should be able to see immediate results.
What is the cost?
The cost of a Liquid Facelift in Hawaii is based on several factors, including which dermal fillers and/or injectables you use and how much is needed to achieve your goal. After coming in for your consultation and your treatment plan is created, our Patient Coordinator will provide you with a price breakdown for your treatment.
