Have you noticed that your skin is loosing volume and starts sagging and that you generally look more tired and aged? This is not only because the skin of your face looses its elasticity with increasing age but also because the ligaments that hold the muscles and fat pads in place, become more lax.

Dr Maurice de Maio, a Brazilian plastic surgeon who is a renowned export, author and international speaker, developed this elegant, non-surgical facelift. Small amounts of dermal filler will be placed under the tiny ligaments that hold your facial muscles, skin and fat pads in place. The ligament and the fat pads and skin that are attached to it, will be supported and lifted making your face look younger and less saggy.

The dermal filler treatment will also stimulate the production of collagen in your skin, and this will make your skin look smooth, plump and youthful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please keep in mind that we often adapt this procedure according to your needs after we thoroughly assessed your face.

  • Upper cheek: At SATINI we usually start with the upper cheek. This is because it provides a lifting effect to the whole lower face and it minimizes dark circles under the eyes.
  • Lower cheek: This point will add more volume to the lower part of the cheek, and it will also lift the jawline and reduce jowls.
  • Mid cheek: A small amount of filler placed into the middle of the cheek will add volume to the cheek and make it look fuller. It also helps to minimize dark circles under the eyes.
  • Nasolabial Fold: This is the fold between the nose and the edges of your mouth. After we already lifted the nasolabial fold by injecting dermal filler into the cheek, we will now inject a small amount of dermal filler right into the area under your nostrils. This will lift the nasolabial fold and open up your face making it look happier and younger.
  • Jowl: Due to the sagging of fat pads to the lower part of your face, many people form jowls. A small amount of dermal filler will be placed under the ligament that supports the jowl making it look less prominent, another sign of ageing that will be alleviated.
  • Jawline: Dermal Filler that is skillfully placed onto the upper part of your jawline helps to soften jowls and improves your neckline.
  • Chin: Dermal filler for the chin improves your facial shape and restores harmony to the face.
  • Marionette line: This is the line between the corners of your mouth and the jowls that can make your lower face look older. When we fill this line it will make the area around your mouth look younger.

If you have started to notice that your face is dropping or sagging, it is likely that you will be a good candidate for this technique. If you have more severe laxity, a good result is still possible, but more filler and possibly some different techniques may be required for best results.
Please make an appointment to talk with Dr Nadja Haub about whether this technique is right for you

For the eight point facelift we use a dermal filler with a very high lifting capacity that is able to support the ligaments of your face. Most people require 2 ml of this filler. To add more volume to your cheeks and improve the folds between your nose and lip and between your lip and chin we usually add another 1 ml of dermal filler with slightly less lifting capacity but very high stretchability.

The eight point facelift is a simple yet effective procedure that takes approximately 30 minutes but we would recommend you to allow a bit more time so that you can reapply your make up and allow yourself a bit of time to recover. Most people resume their daily activities after this procedure. It is not unusual to develop some swelling after the procedure or minor bruising. Very rarely people develop larger bruises. Please rad more about dermal filler under Frequently Asked Questions.

Our most preferred dermal filler range is Teoxane due to its ability to stretch with facial movements making your face look natural when you smile or show any emotions with your face.

Dr Haub has selected a wide range of dermal fillers. One of her favourites is TEOXANE® as it produces very natural results. Restylane® and Belotero® are also available. Book a consultation today to find out if dermal fillers are the right treatment for your skin.
