Restylane® Lyft
in Baltimore, MD
Dr. Papel, Dr. Kontis, and Dr. Quan are proud to offer Restylane Lyft to their patients in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Annapolis, and the surrounding areas of Maryland. Restylane® Lyft is FDA-approved to increase volume in the cheeks and hands, and can help patients achieve the balanced and contoured appearance they desire.
What is Restylane® Lyft?
Restylane® Lyft, formerly known as Perlane®-L, was created by GALDERMA, one of the foremost experts in medical products and cosmetics. A non-surgical way to add lift and volume to the cheeks or hands, Restylane® Lyft has been reconfigured to allow our doctors to more carefully administer the necessary amount for each patient. Restylane® Lyft is composed of hyaluronic acid and can add youthful volume to the face or the backs of the hands and address severe facial wrinkles.

Those who choose Restylane® Lyft can experience these benefits:
- Improved nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth
- Smoothed chin lines
- Added volume to the backs of the hands
- Improved appearance of veins and tendons in the hands
Who Is a Good Candidate for Restylane® Lyft?
Restylane® Lyft is an FDA approved dermal filler for facial rejuvenation in the Restylane family of hyaluronic acid fillers. Its main ingredient naturally occurs in the body and helps maintain moisture and structure within the facial skin. The treatment uses an injectable hyaluronic acid gel to enhance the cheeks, temples, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and backs of the hands.
This treatment may be appropriate for patients experiencing midface volume loss, reduced cheek volume, sagging skin, or moderate to severe facial wrinkles. It can restore lost volume, soften smile lines, and improve prominent facial folds. By improving facial volume and underlying facial support, Restylane Lyft can create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Restylane Lyft may also be used for cheek augmentation, chin enhancement, or as a cheek filler to restore fullness and improve facial balance. It is particularly helpful for patients who want to correct volume loss without undergoing plastic surgery. However, candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that nonsurgical injections cannot provide the same results as surgical cosmetic procedures.
How Is Restylane® Lyft Treatment Performed?
Before treatment, Drs. Papel, Kontis, and Brown will evaluate your facial structure, concerns, goals, and desired outcome. This careful assessment helps determine whether Restylane Lyft, other dermal fillers, or other cosmetic procedures may be most appropriate.
The selected treatment area will be prepared with clean skin before injections begin. Precise placement and dosage allow the providers to restore volume while preserving natural facial proportions. Their extensive experience helps patients achieve natural looking results rather than an overfilled appearance.
The injection process generally takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on the number and size of the areas treated. Patients may feel slight pressure or pinching at each injection site, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
Results of Restylane® Lyft
The volumizing effects of Restylane Lyft are visible immediately, although the final outcome becomes more apparent as swelling subsides. The filler can enhance the midface or hands, smooth lines, and treat wrinkles without incisions or an extended recovery time.
Most patients can return to their regular routine immediately. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur but typically diminishes within several days. Results can last as long as 18 months, depending on the area treated and the individual patient.
Follow-up appointments may be recommended to maintain the results. Drs. Papel, Kontis, and Brown can also explain how other Restylane treatments compare with other fillers and help determine which FDA approved filler best matches your needs.
