For a Younger, Firmer Face True-Lift

2 mL of a high density cross-linked filler is used in this procedure.

The procedure itself is relatively comfortable, however due to the ligaments being re-tightened directly there can be some mild discomfort for the following 24 hours.

The 4 retaining ligaments of the face are identified and marked out. They are then injected directly to create a lifting of the face.

As with any medical procedure there are some risks to consider. Most patients will have some degree of swelling associated with this treatment, but this will settle over the following few days. There may be some discomfort, bleeding or bruising. There have been cases in Australia of vascular injury whereby filler is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel. It is very rare but if it occurred could lead to necrosis of the skin or visual loss. A thorough knowledge of facial anatomy and injecting techniques can greatly minimise this risk, however if any signs were to occur the filler would need to be dissolved immediately.

There is minimal (if any) recovery for this procedure. As the filler is placed deep in the bone, it would be rare that there would be bruising or swelling associated with the procedure. There can sometimes be some mild discomfort for the first 24 hours following the injection. This can be relieved by Paracetamol alone.

No makeup or lipstick for 4 hours. No exercise for the next 24 hours. Avoiding alcohol that evening will minimise any bruising. Applying ice will also help with swelling and bruising. No swimming for one week.

Every face is different – so there’s no such thing as a cheek, chin, jaw or tear trough ‘price’. It depends on your existing features and what your individual face needs. So you will be guided by Dr. Allison on how many ml’s of filler you need during your consultation. Please see our prices.
