Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft is a hyaluronic acid gel filler with a firm, cohesive texture specifically designed for lifting and volumizing the midface. The granular consistency provides excellent support for areas requiring significant lift while maintaining natural facial expressions. As the first FDA-approved filler for midface lift and volume, it sets the standard for cheek enhancement.
Combination Liquid Facelift
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, we often combine Restylane Lyft with other treatments in our liquid facelift approach. This may include neuromodulators like Botox Cosmetic, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, or Daxxify® for dynamic wrinkles.
Complementary Dermal Fillers
To address multiple facial areas, we may combine Restylane Lyft with other dermal fillers such as Juvéderm Voluma for additional volume, Restylane Silk for lip enhancement, Belotero® for fine lines, or RHA fillers for dynamic areas.
Treatment Process

Our board-certified dermatologists craft treatment plans based on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, working closely with you to develop personalized approaches for optimal natural results. During consultation, we assess your midface structure and discuss your desired outcomes to determine the best treatment strategy.
Treatments are minimally invasive with little to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for 24-48 hours, but most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over 7-10 days as any residual swelling subsides.
We focus on achieving natural-looking enhancement while maintaining your unique facial characteristics. Our experienced team addresses your concerns and creates customized solutions that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.
