What is Liquid Facelift?

Liquid facelift is a combined injection treatment aimed at non-surgically improving volume loss, sagging, wrinkles, and dull appearance that occur in the face with aging. Hyaluronic acid fillers, botulinum toxin applications, and supportive injections that enhance skin quality are evaluated in the same session to reshape the overall structure of the face.

This method, which allows facial features to achieve a younger, more vibrant, and balanced appearance, is applied without surgical incisions, sutures, or long recovery periods.

Purpose of Liquid Facelift

With aging, collagen and elastin in the skin decrease, and the facial fat pads shrink and shift downward. This causes the face to appear tired, saggy, and hollow.

Liquid facelift fills volume deficiencies, supports the skin upwards, and restores the natural V-shape of the face. Thus, facial features are reshaped, and the youthfulness effect becomes noticeably visible.

What is 7K Lifting?

7K lifting is one of the liquid facelift techniques and is applied with filler injections at 7 strategic points determined according to the anatomical structure of the face.

How Does 7K Lifting Work?

Facial ligaments, which connect the skin and soft tissues to the bone structure, form the fundamental support system for a youthful and firm appearance. Over time, these ligaments loosen and lose their lifting power.

The purpose of 7K lifting is not only to add volume but also to support the facial ligaments and reposition the face upwards.

• Facial ligaments are supported
• Lifting effect in the cheeks and mid-face region
• Jawline becomes more defined
• Facial features are naturally tightened

Natural and Balanced Rejuvenation

Since 7K lifting is based on the natural support system of the face, it does not create exaggerated fullness. It allows for more balanced, longer-lasting, and natural results with less filler. For this reason, it is one of the most preferred methods among liquid facelift applications.

Effects of Liquid Facelift

• Adds volume to the mid-face and cheek area
• Reduces under-eye hollows and dark circles
• Provides lifting effect in the upper cheek area
• Defines the chin and jawline
• Softens wrinkles on the forehead and brow area
• Gives the face a more dynamic, lively, and energetic expression
• Eliminates tired, saggy, and aged appearance

How is Liquid Facelift Performed?

The face is analyzed in detail before the application, and the areas most affected by aging are determined.

• The application area is sterilized
• Anesthetic cream is applied where necessary
• Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected under the skin using fine cannulas
• If needed, botulinum toxin is applied to expression lines

The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes, and the patient can return to social life the same day.

Which Areas Can Liquid Facelift Be Applied?

• Cheekbones and mid-face region
• Under-eye hollows
• Nasolabial folds
• Corners of the mouth and marionette lines
• Jawline and chin
• Submental (double chin) area
