Restylane® Lyft, is an injectable dermal filler and is formulated with a biocompatible preparation of hyaluronic acid, which means that it is identical in function and structure to the hyaluronic acid your body naturally produces.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a hydrating substance responsible for transferring essential nutrients from your bloodstream to your skin cells, and for adding fullness and structural support to facial tissues that have lost volume or elasticity during the normal aging process. Hyaluronic acid also provides the benefit of transporting water to the surface of skin, rehydrating it, and helping it to remain supple and youthfully smooth.
About the Procedure
During the procedure, Dr. Bunin will inject Restylane® Lyft into the fat pads beneath the skin to provide optimal lift and a natural appearance. Exact injection sites may vary from patient to patient, depending on the specific contours of the face and the desired end look. The key difference with this particular dermal filler is that it is injected deeper and uses bigger particles. This is why it can achieve a more subtle and natural look. Typically, Restylane® Lyft treatments take about 15 to 30 minutes with immediate results and may be used alone or in conjunction with other injectable fillers.
Restylane Lyft Before and After Photos:
This young woman came to Dr. Bunin wanting very full lips and had already had her lips filled once. Because she had a very short distance between her nose and upper lip, filling the upper lip would look out of balance. I explained about facial proportions and we decided to give her a little Restylane® Lyft filler in her cheek to widen her face and allow for a better proportion when filling her upper lip. She was thrilled with the results and loves her cheeks as well as her lips. Learn more+
This woman didn’t like the lines and hollows around her mouth and chin area. She had “deflated” in these areas. The bottom picture is immediately after “re-inflating” with dermal filler to the nasolabial folds, the marionette lines, peri-oral and chin areas.
Dr. Bunin used Restylane Lyft to fill the marionette lines (from the corners of the mouth towards the chin) for this patient.
Dr. Bunin has more Restylane Lyft before and after photos for you to review in her office and will be glad to share those with you on your consultation. Call today to book your appointment.
