Soft Tissue Recontouring - SoftLift

Soft tissue recontouring using cosmetic dermal filler products can help emphasize and improve the natural lines of your face and lips, giving you a long-lasting and natural beauty lift.

What are cosmetic dermal fillers?

Cosmetic dermal filler gels-used to provide volume and fullness to the skin and lips-are made of a unique, biodegradable, non-animal-based product referred to as hyaluronic acid. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body, this product is completely compatible with human hyaluronic acid. Name brand hyaluronics acid products include Restylane®, Perlane®, Juvederm® and Teosyal®.

What is SoftLift®?

SoftLift® is a facial rejuvenation procedure combining Botox Cosmetic® with soft tissue filler JuvĂ©derm®.


Are cosmetic hyaluronic acid dermal fillers safe?

Hyaluronic acid-derived cosmetic dermal fillers have been used safely worldwide since 1996. Because they are non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required. There is virtually no risk of animal-based disease transmission, or of allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to common foods such as beef, chicken and eggs.
What are some common uses for cosmetic dermal fillers?

Some common uses include lip enhancement and augmentation of the cheek bones, chin or bridge of the nose, as well as the correction of:

  • Folds and wrinkles of the face
  • Acne scars
  • Horizontal (upper forehead) and vertical (lower forehead) frown lines
  • Depressed corners of the mouth ("marionette lines")
  • Subcutaneous skin defects

Before starting any skin contouring treatment, you are advised to consult with a physician, to discuss your particular needs and desired outcomes, as well as the possible benefits and risks of treatment.

What does soft tissue recontouring treatment involve?

A medical physician injects small amounts of cosmetic dermal filler gel into the skin using an ultrafine needle. To optimize your comfort during this quick, simple procedure, the physician may anesthetize the treatment area. The effects, which are long lasting but not permanent, can be seen instantaneously.

What can I expect after treatment?

Common side effects include temporary redness and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within two to three days. Post-treatment care will be discussed at the time of consultation.

How long will the results of cosmetic dermal fillers last?

Cosmetic hyaluronic acid dermal filler gels are long lasting but, ultimately, biodegradable and non-permanent. Though individual results may vary, cosmetic dermal filler gels can last between six and 12 months before they are completely reabsorbed by the body.

Understanding Wrinkles

Most wrinkles appear on the parts of the body where sun exposure is greatest, including the face, neck, the backs of the hands, and the tops of the forearms. Wrinkles can be categorized as fine surface lines or deep furrows. While deep furrows may require injection of fillers or plastic surgery, other less aggressive treatments are effective on fine surface lines.
