Surgery is a scary word that makes most people cringe. When it comes to cosmetic surgery there are many horror stories. Well, what if I were to tell you that it’s now possible to get a facelift without the surgery?! That’s right, Volumalift™ is a new alternative to the traditional facelift.
Dr. Nhi Le of the Fountain of Youth Med Spa in Victoria, TX is now offering Volumalift™, which utilizes a combination of Botox and fillers, such as Juvederm and Radiesse, to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and folds. Your skin will appear tighter, toner and softer, effectively taking years off of your face! Best of all, the treatment requires very little to no downtime and is nearly pain-free!
Unlike a traditional facelift, there is no general anesthesia required for this procedure. There are, however, numbing creams used to reduce any discomfort from the injections. During the procedure you’ll have a mirror in your hand to watch the doctor work, so you can effectively control the outcome of your facelift.
This non-invasive facelift can fill and shape lips, lift corners around your mouth, fill nasolabial folds and eliminate circles or bags under your eyes. You can also target forehead wrinkles and droopy skin around your chin and jowls. The Volumalift™ can also be combined with lasers to shrink your pores, erase sun spots, eliminate acne scars, and more!
Volumalift™ is considerably safe than a traditional facelift. With every surgical procedure comes the risk scarring, infection, paralysis and anesthesia complications. Recovery times can last months, and more often than not you’ll need to be prescribed pain medication.
With Volumalift™you may experience some minor bruising, swelling and redness that usually subsides within a few days. No pain killers are needed and you can typically return to your daily activities right after the procedure.
A traditional facelift will last you many years, but there’s always the risk of unpleasant results from the surgery. This is something you’ll have to live with unless you pay another plastic surgeon to correct it. The Volumalift™will last 1-2 years, and this range can be increased with regular touchups. While the results are effective, the Volumalift™ will not alter your natural appearance.
Perhaps the biggest difference between and traditional facelift and the Volumalift™ is the cost. A traditional facelift can cost anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000, and it’s usually worth the extra money to go to a highly regarded plastic surgeon. The Volumalift™ starts at only $1,000, depending on your desired results.
