Non Surgical Facelift Beverly Hills

Liquid Makeovers by Anita Patel, Md in Beverly Hills: What You Need to Know

Dr. Anita’s signature nonsurgical procedure uses artfully placed fillers and neurotoxins to create balance and harmony amongst your facial features. This approach is tailored to achieve stunning results that showcase your greatest assets, produce a lifting effect, smooth out transition areas and contour irregularities, create natural highlights to your face, and even give the impression of weight loss.

The key is Dr. Anita’s comprehensive and cohesive vision and plan. Rather than leaving each patient with identical looking lips, noses, or cheeks, this treatment works to enhance the unique beauty of the individual, with gentle alterations and enhancements that leave them looking like the very best version of themselves.

Beautiful effects are not necessarily related to how much product is used. In fact, Dr. Anita can often use less of a product and get superior results. The ability to create such amazing results requires an understanding of underlying anatomy, and of how a subtle change in one feature affects how the entire face looks.

This requires paying attention to how light hitting the face from different angles will influence how the features are perceived and a knowledge of what is truly natural beauty, versus contours, shapes, and proportions that are artificially created and not found in nature. It also requires paying attention to how features look when you move your face and smile, since the goal is to create real-life beauty, not just contours that look good in a selfie. These are all factors Dr. Anita considers during the Liquid Makeover.

Treatment Overview

First, you will meet with Dr. Anita to share your concerns and discuss both how you see yourself now and the results that you hope to achieve. This will be followed by a discussion of your medical history and a focused physical exam.

Dr. Anita will then perform a comprehensive analysis of your entire face, photographing and examining your individual features and analyzing how each feature relates to and affects the appearance of other features. Together, you and Dr. Anita will look at your face on an iPad Pro, and Dr. Anita will explain point by point what changes she believes will bring out the best in you, creating a refreshed, rejuvenated, and beautiful look. She will go over the risks, post-treatment care, activity restrictions, and give you time to ask questions.

Next, the Patient Care Coordinator will review pricing for the proposed treatment plan, and allow you to decide what fits your budget and schedule.

You will then fill out consent forms and have topical numbing cream applied to the treatment areas. (Some patients opt to skip the numbing cream, and that is your choice.) The skin will be cleansed, cooled with gel ice packs, and prepped for injection. When multiple areas are being treated, the numbing cream is left on for areas not being immediately addressed to maximize your comfort.

Dr. Anita will then use a custom combination of fillers and neurotoxins in precise amounts and locations in order to reshape, rebalance, and enhance facial features individually, and facial beauty and harmony as a whole.

Pre- and post- photos will be taken to show you the immediate side-by-side comparison and highlight changes. Your next visit will be at 2 weeks for assessment and touch-up if desired or recommended, or additional treatment if that is part of the plan.

Liquid Facelift

  • Time In Office: 1-2 hours depending on number of areas treated
  • Anesthesia: Topical numbing and/or laughing gas (dental blocks also available)
  • Social Downtime: There is typically no downtime following filler injections, however, patients may experience some bruising or swelling. This generally lasts a few days.
  • Post-Treatment Instructions: Patients should not exercise, use steam rooms or saunas, or sleep directly on the injected areas for at least 48 hours. Patients should also avoid getting dental work, massages, or facials for a few days. If the nose was treated, no sunglasses. If the lips were treated, nothing that puts stretch or pressure on the lips (such as kissing or sucking on straws). Minimize the use of any blood thinning agents or excessive alcohol, as these can worsen bruising.

Frequently Asked Questions
