 The RestyLift is a procedure that is designed to bring back youthful beauty, vitality and attractiveness through the volumetric replacement of soft tissue that has been lost with age. The RestyLift is a volumetric facelift, restoring "the fullness of youth" safely, effectively and non-surgically. As the name itself implies, the RestyLift produces a "rested" and "lifted" look.
As we age our facial skin and soft tissue undergoes the "3 Ds" of aging deterioration (wrinkles, pores, texture, brown and red pigmentation), descent (droopiness of the soft tissue) and deflation (loss of the above supportive fat buttresses). For skin deterioration, we have the FotoFacial RF®, Botox®, SonoPeel™, SonoFacial™, intradermal fillers and medical skin care. For descent, we have ThreadLift™ and/or Thermage® and FotoFacial RF®. For deflation, the RestyLift.
Your RestyLift physician or health care professional will take an injectable gel product (Restylane®, Juvederm®, Hylaform, Bio-Alcamid™, etc) and inject specific amounts of the product into the specific fat buttress regions, restoring the 3 dimensional structure to the soft tissue envelope, plumping out, filling and lifting the overlying facial skin and restoring the attractive "fullness of youth."
Once you've finished your consultation and you and your physician or health care professional feel you are a RestyLift candidate, the actual injectable facelift and volumization takes less than one hour to perform.
The RestyLift is not very painful. The skin is frozen with local anesthesia prior to the procedure and the needles are passed through only the frozen skin. The injectable gel used during a RestyLift is deposited very deeply along the facial bones, where there are very few pain fibers. The injectable fillers are much more painful when injected into lines than when they are used deeply to contour and shape the face. There is virtually no pain after the RestyLift is completed.
The RestyLift is very safe but you may experience some bruising and swelling, asymmetry (which is correctable), as well as a very remote chance of allergic reaction or infection. Lumpiness may occur, but is usually palpable and deep and not visible. Simple massage will usually correct any lumpiness.
The RestyLift goes well with FotoFacial® or photorejuvenation, Botox®, intradermal line fillers, Thermage® and ThreadLift™. Physicians may elect to combine several of the minimally invasive procedures together for best results.
