Liquid Eyelift: Good Alternative To Plastic Surgery?

BOSTON (CBS) — There's a product that claims to give you a lift without any surgery, and makes you look younger and less tired.

It definitely has an appeal, but is it worth it if you have to use it over and over?

A growing number of people seem to think so.

The liquid eye-lift is a series of fillers that you inject to help lift up what's fallen down, to fill out the areas that hollow with age.

WBZ-TV's Paula Ebben reports.

The procedure is becoming more and more popular.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Brent Moelleken talked about the procedure and why so many are finding it helpful.

Says Dr. Moelleken, "It gives the patient a refreshed look that lasts temporarily…but is very dramatic."

And he adds, "Many patients say they look six, seven, ten years younger."

The average cost of a liquid eye lift is $12-14 hundred…and it needs to be done every six months. The cost of a surgical eye lift can cost between $3-8,000.
