2009's latest advancement in anti-aging aesthetic procedures is... a liquid? That's right, you no longer need to go under the knife to look younger. The Liquid Face Lift is said to eliminate scarring, bruising or long recovery periods.

Dr. Sam Assassa, a non-surgical cosmetic physician in Beverly Hills, CA, is now offering the Liquid Face Lift to his clients. The procedure combines advanced dermal fillers, such as Botox, to create an aesthetic treatment unlike any other non-invasive face lift procedure.

"Liquid Face Lift procedures generally take around an hour and patients can return to most normal routines the next day," said Dr. Assassa. "You get the results of a traditional face lift, minus the pain, expense and inconvenience."

The procedure is done at Dr. Assassa's Beverly Hills cosmetic surgery office and multiple techniques are employed to create the perfect look. First, Botox is used to soften fine wrinkles around the eyes, lift the eyebrows and relax the forehead, then dermal fillers contour and sculpt the face, which completes the Liquid Face Lift. This combination effectively eliminates facial wrinkles and tightens up loose skin, especially around the jaw and cheek area. More info: www.bhaesthetics.com
