“SoftLift” as done by Dr. Kuzmar

“SoftLift” itself is essentially a general term, it’s interpretation in practice, much like art, varies from one practitioner to another.

My technical experience with injectables over the years has really evolved along the creative themes of “less is more” and “beauty being found in the balance and symmetry of features”.

As such, my personal approach for this combined single sitting procedure: first utilizes Botox in the upper face for the absolute and definative correction of frown lines; next, the subtle softening of forehead lines still allowing for some natural expression; followed by only a very gentle lift of the lateral brow; and finally, only a partial reduction of the muscular contracture in the crow’s feet area allowing for pleasant but not overwhelming smile lines.

Moving then to the mid face region with dermal filler, this is an area where all of us experience some level of progressive volume loss. Here, it is very important to augment the lateral cheek area with a sufficiently adequate volume of product so as to re-establish and lift the mid face. It is this part of the procedure, when done just right, that the greatest visual impact and rejuvenative effect is made. The dermal filler work to follow will focus primarily on softening the remaining deeper folds seen in the mid to lower face.

Once all the preceeding critical areas have been addressed, then depending on the individual patient needs, fine tuning with additional dermal filler can be used for: enhancing the fullness of lips; further elevation of the brow if needed; softening of the undereye hollows; and an area of special interest for me - contouring of the jawline/prejowl and chin.

In the final analysis and after countless injectable procedures, I feel the “SoftLift” approach to facial rejuvenation still remains the most effective and satisfying non-surgical intervention for both patients and myself.
