For many patients in Colts Neck, Holmdel, and Matawan, NJ, the idea of a surgical facelift feels too aggressive. They aren’t ready for general anesthesia, long scars, or weeks of hiding away for recovery. Yet, they want more than just wrinkle reduction—they want a visible lift.

Enter the "Liquid Facelift" (or Non-Surgical Facelift). This advanced technique combines two of our most effective treatments at Source Medical Aesthetics: Dermal Fillers and PDO Threads.

Can you use PDO Threads and Fillers at the same time?

Yes, combining PDO Threads and Dermal Fillers is often more effective than using either alone. This combination addresses the two main signs of aging simultaneously: volume loss (treated with fillers) and gravity/sagging (treated with threads). Together, they provide a comprehensive rejuvenation often called a "Liquid Facelift."

The Roles: Structure vs. Lift

To understand why this works, think of your face like a house being renovated.

1. Dermal Fillers (The Foundation): As we age, we lose bone density and fat pads, causing the face to deflate. Using premium fillers like Restylane or Juvéderm, we restore this lost volume first. We re-inflate areas like the temples, cheeks, and jawline to provide the structural support your skin needs to sit correctly.
2. PDO Threads (The Frame): Once volume is restored, we need to address gravity. PDO Threads act like scaffolding. They physically lift sagging skin—specifically in the jowls, nasolabial folds, and mid-face—and anchor it in a higher, more youthful position.

Why "Stacking" Treatments Gets Better Results

Using these treatments in isolation can sometimes lead to "overfilling" (the puffy look) or "over-pulling." By balancing the two, Dr. Krever can achieve a result that looks entirely natural.

• Collagen Synergy: Threads do more than lift; as they dissolve, they stimulate your body’s own collagen production. This creates a mesh of new, healthy tissue that helps the results of your fillers last longer.
• Efficiency: You get a dramatic transformation in a single appointment, saving you multiple trips to our Matawan office.

What to Expect During the Treatment

Many patients worry that a "double treatment" means double the discomfort, but the Liquid Facelift is surprisingly well-tolerated.

The filler is injected first to establish the foundation. Then, the threads are inserted using a cannula (a blunt-tipped needle) which minimizes bruising. Most patients describe the sensation as "pressure" rather than pain. The entire procedure typically takes under an hour.

Recovery: Real Talk on Downtime

While this is non-surgical, it is not "zero downtime." You can expect some swelling and potential bruising for 3–7 days. However, unlike surgery, you are not bedridden. Most of our Monmouth County patients feel comfortable returning to work or social activities within a couple of days, provided they follow our post-care instructions regarding exercise and sleeping positions.

Is the Liquid Facelift Safe?

Safety is our top priority. Because this procedure involves advanced anatomy knowledge, it is critical to see a medical expert. At Source Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in these complex combinations, ensuring our patients from Matawan to Old Bridge receive safe, precision-based care.
