Combination of Liquid Facelift and Filler in Bayraklı
Bayraklı, the new skyline of İzmir, the heart of the business world and the center of modern life, has an ecosystem where skyscrapers rise, commerce flows rapidly, and time is the most valuable concept. For the professionals living and working in this area, from Mistral to Folkart, from the Courthouse to the established order of Manavkuyu, “looking tired” is not an option. However, the intense work pace, stress, sleeplessness, and the inevitable effect of gravity cause sagging and volume loss in our faces. In the traditional understanding of aesthetics, surgical facelift operations were the only option for solving these problems. However, today’s modern medicine offers a revolutionary approach that adapts to the fast-paced life of Bayraklı, requires no recovery time, and does not carry surgical risks: “Liquid Facelift”. This method is not the random application of a single filler; Liquid facelift is the reconstruction of the face by combining fillers with different properties (hard, soft, medium) with engineering precision.
Liquid facelift is essentially a lifting and contouring procedure achieved by injecting dermal fillers (Hyaluronic Acid, Calcium Hydroxyapatite, etc.) into strategic points. However, the most critical point here is “combination.” Because our face is not made up of a single layer; it is a whole of different layers such as bone, fat pads, muscle, and skin. Each layer has a different aging process and needs. Therefore, it is impossible to treat the entire face with a single type of filler. A successful liquid facelift is the art of combining fillers with different rheological properties (fluidity, hardness, elasticity) and applying them to different layers of the face.
Anatomical Approach: Why is Combination Necessary?
Facial aging is not just the wrinkling of the skin; it is the shrinking of the underlying skeleton and the melting and displacement of fat pads. Two different mechanisms are needed to reverse this situation:
1. Hard Fillers for Lifting Effect: To lift the face, you need hard and dense (High G-Prime) fillers that mimic bone structure and have high load-bearing capacity. These fillers are placed on the bone (deep plane) in areas such as the cheekbones (zygoma), jawline, and temples. The goal is not to add volume, but to suspend the face like a tent pole.
2. Soft Fillers for Contouring and Transition: After lifting the face, it is necessary to correct fine details. In mobile and thin-skinned areas such as under the eyes, lips, and nasolabial folds, hard fillers will clump. For these areas, flexible and soft fillers that integrate with the tissue are used. The success of “Liquid Face Lift” lies in the correct combination of these hard and soft fillers.
“What is the Sandwich Technique?” In this technique, applied in advanced clinics in Bayraklı, fillers are placed in different layers. A firm filler is placed deep (above the bone) to lay the foundation, while a softer filler is placed in more superficial layers (under the skin) to smooth fine wrinkles and moisturize the skin. This multi-layered approach ensures a much more natural, smooth, and long-lasting result.
Bayraklı Lifestyle and Application Areas
Bayraklı’s corporate lifestyle leads to specific facial deformations. Liquid facelift combination offers pinpoint solutions to these problems.
“Corporate Face” and its Solution: Constantly looking at computer screens causes the head to tilt forward and sagging under the chin (jowl), while artificial lights and stress cause the area around the eyes to sag. In the liquid facelift protocol, the upper face is lifted with temple and cheekbone fillers to open up the eye area, and the lower face is sharpened with jawline fillers to conceal the appearance of a double chin. This combination gives the person a more dynamic, confident, and rested “professional image.”
Single Area vs. Combined (Total) Approach: Comparison
The most common misconception patients have is thinking that injecting fillers only into the problem area (e.g., the nasolabial line) will suffice. However, the problem is usually not in that area, but in the sagging tissue over that area. The table below summarizes why the holistic approach (Liquid Facelift) is superior.
| Features | Single Area Filler (e.g., Side of the Nose Only) | Liquid Facelift (Combined Approach) |
|---|---|---|
| Focus Point | To fill only the hollow or line. | To lift the face and correct proportions. |
| Result Image | Sometimes it can make the face look fuller or heavier. | A thinner, “V” shaped and lifted face face. |
| Naturalness | Regional improvement, inconsistencies with other areas may occur. | Because the entire face is balanced, the result is very natural. |
| Permanence | 9 – 12 Months. | 12 – 18 Months (Cumulative effect is greater). |
| Mechanism of Action | Camouflage. | Lifting and Restoration. |
Who is it suitable for?
The combination of liquid facelift and filler is ideal for people over a certain age or those with structural problems.
- Those with Mid-Face Sagging: Individuals with flattened cheeks and sunken under-eyes.
- Those with Distorted Jawline: Individuals who have started to experience sagging at the chin, known as “bulldog cheeks.”
- Those with a Tired Expression: Individuals who carry a sad and gloomy expression on their face even when rested.
- Those Who Don’t Want Surgery: Active business people who cannot tolerate the risks, cost, and recovery process of surgery.
Procedure Process and Return to Social Life
In Bayraklı, “time” is money. The biggest advantage of this procedure is that it falls into the “Lunchtime Aesthetics” category.
Duration: The entire facial assessment and application takes an average of 30-45 minutes.
Pain: New generation fillers contain local anesthetic (lidocaine). Additionally, thanks to the creams applied before the procedure and the use of a cannula (blunt-tipped needle), pain is minimal.
Recovery: The use of a cannula greatly reduces the risk of bruising. There may be slight swelling immediately after the procedure, but the person can return to work or social life immediately. The results are visible instantly, but it takes 2 weeks for them to fully settle.
Result: Harmony of the Whole
In conclusion, the combination of liquid facelift and fillers in Bayraklı is a modern approach that treats the face as a whole, like a work of art, rather than piecemeal. The aim is not to alter or inflate the face; it is to erase the effects of time and gravity and restore the anatomical balance of the face.
With a properly planned combination treatment, it is possible to see not “someone else” when you look in the mirror, but “a better, more vibrant, and fresher you.” Perfection in aesthetics is hidden in the harmony of details.
