Liquid Lifting

Liquid Lifting, a.k.a. Hollywood Liquid Lifting, is currently the buzz in the cosmetic press. Many movie stars, models, and other semi famous people are currently being plumped rather than stretched. Liquid lifting involves taking mainly hyaluronic acid fillers, either the Restylane® family or the Juvéderm® family, and filling out the cheeks and filling in the hollows of the face that have lost volume. This is an extremely effective way to make the face appear more youthful.

Although this appears to be the current rage, at Face Beautiful, Dr. Moradi and I have been doing this technique for years. We are San Diego County’s highest volume filler injector practice, along with the highest volume Botox® practice. The reason is our expertise.


Fillers injected close to bone in the face to restore volume, last much longer than when placed close to the surface in areas such as the lips. The longer acting hyaluronic acid fillers can last up to 2 years when placed close to the bone. The results are instantaneous, the procedure itself is virtually painless, and the cost is modest.


The usual volume necessary to restore youthfulness varies from 2 to as much as 5cc. Most younger women require a simple cheek lift, the older women may require more of the cheek, brow, and wrinkle filling effort to restore volume.


In our hands bruising and swelling is not a problem. Modern fillers are extremely safe, the manufacturing processes are perfected, no skin testing is necessary, and allergies seem to be a thing of the past.


Why not make an appointment and come see us? Dr. Moradi and I do all the injections, so you have years of experience injecting both the fillers, and Botox®.
