Want the refreshed look of a facelift without major invasive surgery? The liquid face lift uses a series of dermal fillers to restore lost volume and soften lines across the face — designed to rejuvenate your appearance naturally. No surgery. No incisions. No scars.
You look in the mirror and see it: cheeks that have hollowed, shadows under the eyes, deeper lines around the nose and mouth. You'd love the result of a facelift — but the idea of major invasive surgery, the recovery, and the cost keeps you from picking up the phone.
The liquid face lift was designed for exactly this. It restores volume by placing naturally occurring hyaluronic acid fillers under the skin in the areas of the face that have lost it — filling and smoothing wrinkles, re-volumizing cheek hollows and under-eye circles, and softening the lines around the nose and mouth. No surgery. No incisions. No scars.
For more than 20 years, Dr. Promila Banerjee, MD has helped men and women across Glenview, Chicago, Schaumburg, Evanston, and Northbrook refresh their appearance with precisely this kind of artful, conservative filler work.
Schedule Your Consultation →Rather than treating one wrinkle at a time, a liquid face lift uses the correct filler — or combination of fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane — across multiple areas of the face for a balanced, naturally youthful result.
Naturally occurring hyaluronic acid is placed under the skin in the areas of the face that have lost volume — cheeks, temples, and under the eyes.
The right filler fills and smooths wrinkles and the lines around the nose and mouth, softening the shadows that read as tired or aged.
Dr. Banerjee, MD selects and places each filler so the whole face works together — designed to shed years while still looking like you.
The liquid face lift is designed to deliver the appearance of a facelift without the parts that keep people from booking one.
They're often confused, but they're different procedures. The Y Lift® is a structured-lift technique; the liquid face lift is filler-based full-face restoration. Dr. Banerjee performs both — and will recommend the right fit at your consultation. Curious about individual fillers? See the dermal fillers hub.

|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Tissue repositioned surgically | Mechanical lift held by filler | Series of fillers across the face |

| Anesthesia | General | Local only | Topical numbing |
| Incisions / scars | Yes (around ears) | None | None |
| Recovery | 2–4 weeks | Minimal | Possible swelling/bruising for a few days |
| Results typically last | 7–10+ years | 1–3 years | Up to a year — often longer, by filler |
| Customizable areas | Fixed by procedure | Y-shaped contour zones | Fully tailored, area by area |
Cheeks, the region surrounding the eyes and temples, under the eyes, and around the mouth — once refilled, these areas can shed years from your appearance.
A liquid face lift is an office-based series of injections. Topical numbing keeps you comfortable, and you can typically return to your day right after your visit.
Dr. Banerjee studies your face to identify where volume has been lost — cheeks, temples, under-eyes, around the mouth — and builds your plan.
Naturally occurring hyaluronic acid fillers are injected under the skin in the areas of the face that have lost volume.
The correct filler — or combination of fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane — is layered area by area so the finished result looks natural, never overdone.
Individual results vary, but here's the general arc most filler patients experience.
Your filler series is placed in a single office visit. You may have multiple injection sites, and volume changes are typically noticeable right away.
Some swelling or bruising may occur and typically lasts a few days — but there is no surgery, no incisions, and no scars to heal.
Fillers have integrated and any early swelling has usually resolved. This is the result to judge — and when a touch-up can be discussed if needed.
Depending on the type of filler used, results may last up to a year — and in many cases longer.
Periodic refresh appointments can maintain your look over time, often with less filler than the initial visit.
Cost depends on the areas treated and the number of syringes your plan calls for. You'll receive an exact quote at your consultation — no surprises.
"I didn't want one more cream, and I definitely didn't want surgery. Dr. B walked me through a filler plan for my cheeks and under my eyes, explained what filler could and couldn't do, and never pushed. A few days of minor bruising, and the hollow, tired look I'd been covering with concealer softened noticeably. Friends said I looked rested — nobody guessed why."
"What impressed me was the restraint. Dr. B used less filler than I expected and placed it in areas I wouldn't have thought of, like my temples. The result is subtle in the best way — I look like myself, just less tired. She was upfront that it isn't permanent and set realistic expectations from the first visit."
The honest answers Dr. B would give you in the room.
A liquid face lift is a non-surgical, filler-based approach to facial rejuvenation. Instead of one wrinkle at a time, a series of dermal fillers — naturally occurring hyaluronic acids and other natural substances — is placed under the skin in the areas of the face that have lost volume. The goal is to re-volumize cheek hollows, soften under-eye circles, and smooth the lines around the nose and mouth for a naturally refreshed look, without surgery, incisions, or scars.
Both are non-surgical, but the techniques differ. The Y Lift® is a specific structured-lift procedure: a specialized tool mechanically lifts facial tissue, and filler holds that lifted position. A liquid face lift doesn't mechanically lift — it restores volume and smooths lines with fillers placed across multiple areas of the face. Dr. Banerjee performs both and will recommend the one suited to your anatomy and goals at your consultation.
The plan is built from the correct filler — or combination of fillers — for each area, most often hyaluronic acid products from the Juvederm and Restylane families. Different formulations behave differently: some are firmer for structure in the cheeks, others softer for delicate areas. You can read about the individual products on our dermal fillers page.
There is no surgery, no incisions, and no scars. You may have multiple injection sites and some swelling or bruising that lasts for a few days, and most patients return to normal activities right away. Dr. Banerjee will give you simple aftercare guidance at your visit.
It depends on the type of filler used. Results may last up to a year, and in many cases longer — with certain products designed to be very long-lasting. Individual results vary, and periodic maintenance visits can extend your look over time.
That's the entire philosophy behind how Dr. Banerjee works. A liquid face lift is designed to restore what time has taken — volume in the cheeks and temples, smoothness around the eyes and mouth — not to change your features. Conservative amounts, placed by a physician with more than 20 years of aesthetic experience, are what keep the result looking natural.
Adults noticing facial volume loss, hollowing under the eyes or in the cheeks, and deepening lines around the nose and mouth are often good candidates. Treatment is provided only after a medical evaluation with Dr. Banerjee — and if a different approach would serve you better, such as the Y Lift® or a single-area filler treatment, she'll tell you directly.
Pricing depends on the areas treated and the number and type of filler syringes your plan calls for. Elite Members save up to 35% off the filler component. You'll receive an exact quote at your consultation — before anything is scheduled.
