What Is Restylane® Lyft?
Restylane® Lyft is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler manufactured by Galderma, designed with larger gel particles than other Restylane products to provide structural support and lasting volume. It is the only Restylane product FDA-approved for both cheek augmentation and correction of age-related midface volume loss, as well as dorsal hand rejuvenation to conceal visible veins and tendons.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Restylane Lyft treatment is performed with artistic precision using advanced cannula technique for smoother delivery and minimal bruising. Accuvein technology visualizes blood vessels during injection to virtually eliminate bruising, while the Vibrata tool decreases discomfort. Lyft’s robust gel particles provide the structural support needed to lift the midface and restore youthful cheek contour that looks and feels completely natural.
How Restylane® Lyft Works
Restylane Lyft treatment follows a precise, artistry-driven protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your midface volume, cheek structure, and facial proportions to create a customized treatment plan
- Restylane Lyft is precisely injected deep into the midface using cannula technique with Accuvein-guided precision
- The robust HA gel particles provide immediate structural lift, restoring cheek volume and midface contour
- The hyaluronic acid integrates with your tissue, attracting moisture and maintaining natural-looking volume
- Results are visible immediately and last up to 18 months in the cheeks, with touch-ups extending your results
Areas We Treat with Restylane® Lyft
Cheek Volume Loss
Flat, deflated cheeks that have lost their youthful fullness due to aging or weight loss. Restylane Lyft is FDA-approved specifically for cheek augmentation, providing structural lift and natural volume that restores a youthful, heart-shaped facial contour. Typical volume: 2-4 cc.
Midface Descent
Sagging midface tissue that creates deepening nasolabial folds and a tired, aged appearance. Lyft’s robust particles provide the structural support needed to lift the midface from within, reducing fold depth and restoring the natural elevation that creates a refreshed, rejuvenated look.
Hand Rejuvenation
Aging hands that reveal visible veins, tendons, and bony structures due to volume loss. Restylane Lyft is FDA-approved for dorsal hand rejuvenation, restoring youthful fullness that conceals underlying structures and creates a smoother, more youthful hand appearance. Results last up to 6 months.
Temple Hollowing
Sunken temples that create a gaunt, skeletal appearance and age the upper face. Restylane Lyft’s structural gel particles are ideal for deep temple volumization, restoring the gentle convexity that frames the eyes and creates a more youthful, healthy facial silhouette.
Jawline Definition
A soft or undefined jawline that lacks the sharp contour of youth. Restylane Lyft provides the structural volume needed to sculpt and define the jawline, creating a more angular, defined mandibular border. Results create a more balanced, harmonious facial profile.
Chin Augmentation
A weak or receding chin that affects facial balance and profile harmony. Restylane Lyft provides non-surgical chin projection and augmentation, improving the chin-to-nose ratio and creating better facial proportions without surgery or permanent implants. Typical volume: 1-3 cc.
Restylane® Lyft Treatment Details
What makes Restylane® Lyft the ideal choice for structural facial volumization:
Robust HA Particles
Restylane Lyft uses larger hyaluronic acid gel particles than other Restylane products, specifically engineered to provide structural support and lasting lift in the midface. This robust formulation maintains its shape and volume under the natural pressure of facial tissue, delivering reliable, long-lasting results.
Cannula Injection Technique
Dr. Avaliani specializes in cannula injection technique for Restylane Lyft, using a blunt-tipped cannula rather than a sharp needle. This approach provides smoother, more even distribution of filler, significantly reduces bruising risk, and allows for precise placement deep in the tissue where structural support is needed most.
Accuvein & Vibrata
Accuvein technology projects a real-time vein map onto the skin, allowing Dr. Avaliani to precisely avoid blood vessels during injection and virtually eliminate bruising. The Vibrata tool provides gentle vibration during injection to significantly decrease discomfort. Together, these technologies make Restylane Lyft treatment both safe and comfortable.

Restylane® Lyft frequently asked questions
What is Restylane Lyft?
Restylane Lyft is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler made by Galderma with larger gel particles designed specifically for structural support and volume restoration. It is the only Restylane product approved for both cheek augmentation and dorsal hand rejuvenation.
How long do results last?
Restylane Lyft results last up to 18 months in the cheeks and up to 6 months in the hands. The larger particle size provides longer-lasting structural support compared to other HA fillers. Touch-up treatments can extend and maintain your results over time.
How is Lyft different from other Restylane products?
Restylane Lyft uses larger hyaluronic acid particles than Silk, Refyne, or Defyne, providing more structural lift and volume. While Silk is designed for delicate lips and Defyne for flexible laugh lines, Lyft is specifically engineered for areas needing robust volume restoration like the cheeks and hands.
Does the treatment hurt?
Restylane Lyft treatment is very comfortable. Dr. Avaliani uses cannula technique for smoother delivery, the Vibrata tool to decrease injection sensation, and Accuvein technology to avoid blood vessels. Pro-Nox nitrous oxide is also available upon request for additional comfort.
Can Restylane Lyft treat hands?
Yes. Restylane Lyft is the first and only FDA-approved HA filler for hand rejuvenation. It restores lost volume to the backs of the hands, concealing visible veins and tendons that make hands look aged. Results in the hands typically last up to 6 months.
How many syringes will I need?
For cheek augmentation, most patients need 2 to 4 syringes depending on the degree of volume loss and desired outcome. Hand rejuvenation typically requires 1 to 2 syringes per hand. Dr. Avaliani will recommend the ideal volume during your consultation based on your anatomy and goals.
Is Restylane Lyft reversible?
Yes. Like all hyaluronic acid fillers, Restylane Lyft is fully reversible with hyaluronidase enzyme. This provides an important safety advantage. If needed, the filler can be dissolved quickly and safely at any time.
Will I bruise?
Bruising risk is minimal thanks to Dr. Avaliani’s use of cannula technique and Accuvein vein visualization. Any residual bruising can be treated with a special laser that eliminates marks in under 5 days. Most patients experience only mild swelling that resolves within a few days.
Can Lyft be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Restylane Lyft pairs well with other fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. For example, Lyft for midface volume combined with Defyne for laugh lines and Silk for lips creates a complete liquid facelift. It also complements Botox and skin treatments for optimal results.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after injection. Restylane Lyft continues to settle and integrate over 1 to 2 weeks, at which point you will see your final results. The immediate lift and volume are one of the key advantages of this treatment.
