Softlifting is an innovative technique for volumetric facial rejuvenation, replenishing the volume of soft tissues of the face, contouring using the most modern fillers based on hyaluronic acid, Sub Q or Voluma preparations. The volumetric rejuvenation method has achieved significant popularity in the West, primarily among movie and show business stars. Subsequently, softlifting also gained a wider audience - women from 30 to 60 years old. The softlifting procedure is much more effective than standard contouring with fillers based on hyaluronic acid, Juvederm, Surgiderm or Restylane, but it is less traumatic.
Softlifting (facial contouring) - a sensation of a second youth, facial rejuvenation without a lift
Every woman strives to preserve her youth as long as possible. At the same time, standard cosmetic procedures at a certain stage become ineffective, and surgical intervention is frightening due to its risk factors. And there are quite a lot of contraindications to plastic surgery. But will you really have to give up the attractiveness? Accept that the years take their toll, leaving traces of accumulated experience in the form of wrinkles or sagging skin on the face? Is it really necessary to submit to nature and accept the fact that the reflection in the mirror no longer pleases, does not “glow” with youth, does not enchant with charm?

The best option for solving the problems that have arisen is the modern European method of rejuvenation and correction of the oval of the face and tightening. Vadim Sergeevich Bakov successfully practices a non-invasive method of facelift without surgery - Softlifting. Now you have a chance to maintain freshness and restore lost volume, eliminate the “tired” expression on your face at any age. You will be able to forget about these problems. You just need to undergo a complex of treatment with a new softlifting method.
Stages of 3D facial plastic surgery – materials for volumetric plastic surgery today
Before starting the procedure, plastic surgeons recommend that patients undergo a full examination to minimize the risk of complications in the future.
- A week before surgery, it is forbidden to use aspirin or medications containing vitamin E.
- The day before surgery, you must refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking, visiting saunas, solariums, and performing heavy physical activity.
The algorithm for volumetric softlifting is as follows:
- Use of local anesthetics.
- Introduction of fillers into the deep layers of the skin using thin, flexible, plastic cannulas with a rounded end. Thanks to this design, it is possible to avoid damage to tissues and blood vessels. This minimizes the amount of bruising after the procedure is completed. Different areas of the face require the use of fillers with different densities.
- Stretching massage to ensure even distribution of the gel under the skin. The first 20-30 minutes after the manipulation there will be redness of the skin and unpleasant tingling sensations. But after the specified period, the skin is almost completely restored.
Due to its short duration (30-40 minutes) and quick recovery, 3D facial plastic surgery is also called an office procedure .
After the manipulation, patients can begin to work.
Today, when performing volumetric softlifting, many different fillers are used.
The most popular of them are the following:
- Restylane Sub Q. It is a gel with a viscous consistency, thanks to which you can simulate the shape of your cheekbones and chin. Due to its structure, this drug does not transform during muscle movement, which ensures the safety of the effect.
- Voluma. It is a new product from the French manufacturer Corneal. It helps get rid of deep wrinkles in the area of the bridge of the nose and nasolabial fold. With this filler you can make your cheekbones more voluminous, and the effect will last from 18 to 24 months.
- Stylage. This French drug consists of hyaluronic acid, lidocaine, and antioxidants. It comes in several types. Each model differs in its consistency, and therefore in its area of application:
- Stylage XL is designed to correct the oval of the face and model the cheekbones. It can also help eliminate deep wrinkles.
- Stylage S. _ Helps cope with fine wrinkles, perfectly moisturizes the skin, improves complexion. This filler is often used to neutralize the mesh around the eyes.
- Stylage Special Lips . Plastic surgeons use this filler to correct the shape of the lips.
What is softlifting?
Softlifting
is an innovative minimally invasive method of facial rejuvenation, developed by leading specialists of the largest European center of plastic surgery and cosmetology
“Akademikliniken”
.
Dr. Bakov
specialized in softlifting under the guidance of one of the authors of the technique, Professor
Ulf Samuelsson, President of the Swedish Association of Plastic Surgeons
.
This technique is based on 3-D modeling of facial contours, that is, restoration of lost original volumes. With age, the skin loses its elasticity, drooping (ptosis) of areas of the soft tissues of the face occurs, due to which the relief of the zygomatic areas is flattened, nasolacrimal grooves and nasolabial folds are marked, “jowls” sag, and lip volume is lost. All this gives the face a “tired” look, depriving it of freshness and deforming the original silhouette. The softlifting procedure using a special filler injection technique allows you to restore the face to its former beauty and freshness without incisions and surgeries, allowing you to correct the oval of the face and tighten it.
A unique method is developed taking into account the anatomical features of each area of the face. It involves the volumetric introduction of natural hyaluronic acid fillers of the latest generation in small doses, which allows you to achieve a face lift without surgery using contour plastic surgery. For each area of the face, a filler of a certain density is used and an individual depth and method of administration are provided. In addition, solving the problems of volume restoration and correcting existing ptosis, fillers based on hyaluronic acid promote tissue hydration, moisturizing them, and stimulate collagen production.
Vadim Sergeevich Bakov is one of the best Russian specialists in non-surgical face lifting, Softlifting. Having already carried out more than a hundred of these procedures with high results, he admits that this method, despite its apparent simplicity, requires the doctor to have high professional surgical qualifications, a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy, as well as experience and skills in working with special instruments.
How is the procedure performed?
One softlifting procedure takes about 30 minutes . To achieve the desired effect, the doctor performs a so-called “stretching” massage , which allows you to evenly distribute the gel and give the skin a natural look.
After injection of the filler, slight redness may appear on the skin, which disappears after a maximum of half an hour. If necessary, it can be easily disguised with makeup. At the end of the procedure, the patient does not require rehabilitation.
Please note that the softlift procedure cannot be carried out by an ordinary cosmetologist - this work requires the hands of an experienced plastic surgeon with perfect knowledge of anatomy. This requirement is associated with the increased complexity of the technique:
- For each problem area, a drug with a certain density ;
- The depth of filler injection in each area of the skin may vary.
In our center, the softlifting procedure is carried out by Vadim Sergeevich Bakov, Candidate of Medical Sciences, one of the best specialists in aesthetic medicine.
How long does the softlift procedure take?
The softlift procedure itself will take you no more than half an hour. No special preparation is required for it. However, it is worth considering that before performing it, it is not recommended to take medications containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and vitamins of group “E”. The fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is normally found in the human body and rarely causes allergic reactions.
Often, advertising for a particular injection method promises that after it you will be able to immediately go to your scheduled appointments. In relation to Softlifting, this is almost always true, since the face immediately takes on new contours, and swelling, as a rule, is practically unnoticeable. However, it should be borne in mind that in a small number of cases there may be some swelling and hyperemia at the injection site, which finally disappears within 1-3 days.
What is softlifting – the pros and cons of volumetric plastic surgery, indications and contraindications for it
Men and women aged 30-45 years turn to this manipulation for the purpose of rejuvenation. This technique is not able to completely eliminate deep wrinkles, but it can significantly improve your appearance.
Softlifting is addressed in the following cases:
- There is a double chin.
- The third part of the face was deformed under the influence of time.
- There is a need to correct deep wrinkles in the area of the nasolabial triangle, forehead, and between the eyebrows.
- There is a small hump on the nose.
- The corners of the lips drooped, and small wrinkles formed in the area of the upper lip.
- The condition of the infraorbital region has worsened. Softlifting favors the elimination of the so-called. bags and blue circles under the eyes. With its help, you can eliminate small wrinkles around the eyes and correct jowls.
- It is necessary to model the oval of the face, to form a clearer contour.
3D facial plastic surgery is not permissible for the following pathologies:
- Oncological diseases.
- Disorders associated with blood clotting.
- Various skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis).
- Skin infection.
- Allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid.
- Serious disruptions in the functioning of the immune system.
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
Volumetric facial softlift has many advantages:
- It is an ideal means of rejuvenation for those for whom plastic surgery and general anesthesia are contraindicated.
- For this manipulation, no incisions are required. The recovery period takes a minimum of time, and after 3D plastic surgery there are no scars left on the face.
- Patients with any skin type and color can resort to this technique.
- It is one of the universal means of rejuvenation because... performs a whole range of tasks: models the oval of the face, improves the color and properties of the skin, replenishes lost volume in those areas that need it.
- The results of the procedure last for 18 months; there are no restrictions on the number of repetitions of softlifting.
The method under consideration also has disadvantages:
- Often, to achieve the desired effect, filler is injected deep under the skin, sometimes reaching the periosteum. In the first days after surgery, patients will complain of severe pain, swelling, and bruises.
- An inadequately administered drug can lead to negative consequences: lack of results, extensive hematomas, scars, etc. A similar situation can arise when choosing the “wrong” specialist. Volumetric softlifting is a non-traumatic and bloodless manipulation, but at the same time complex. Its implementation cannot be entrusted to a cosmetologist, and plastic surgeons are not all trained in 3D plastic surgery technologies. Therefore, you should choose a specialist very carefully.
- Not everyone can resort to this method of rejuvenation due to the high cost: treatment with high-density fillers will cost 45-50 thousand rubles.
What is the softlift procedure?
Another question that is often asked by women who decide to have a facelift using contour plastic surgery: “Will there be pain relief? How painful will it be?" In general, the entire procedure takes place in the subcutaneous layer, where, as is known, there are no nerve endings. The skin puncture sites are treated with an anesthetic spray, so the moment of puncture is absolutely painless. The drug is administered using special microcannulas with a rounded end to prevent tissue trauma and damage to blood vessels. There may be a slight feeling of “bloating” during filler injection, which will go away after the procedure is completed.
The procedure itself will not take more than half an hour. In this case, as a rule, no bruises will remain, and slight swelling, if it occurs, will be noticeable only for 1-3 days.
Presidential softlift at Doctor Plastic
For the fifth year now, Professor Samuelsson has been flying every month to the Moscow Doctor Plastic clinic to personally perform Softlifting procedures on his Russian patients. Each of his visits is a guaranteed sell-out. The secret to the popularity of Softlifting is simple - the effect of the procedure performed by a well-known specialist in Europe usually exceeds all patients’ expectations.
Professor Samuelsson is smiling and delicate in a European way, always cheerful and friendly. Patients are impressed by the attentive look, confident movements and light hand of the doctor. So Russian women, who have had an appointment with Ulf Samuelsson at least once, immediately fall in love with the miracle doctor and become his regular clients.
The result of softlifting lasts for an average of 8-10 months, after which the procedure can be repeated
The injection technique for express rejuvenation, developed by a Swedish professor, is based on a deep understanding of facial anatomy and is noticeably different from contouring procedures, which are usually performed by cosmetologists. The doctor, who is known as an excellent plastic surgeon who has performed thousands of facial plastic surgeries, was able to rethink and expand the possibilities of injection cosmetology.
Dr. Samuelsson works to restore facial contours beyond the plane of the skin. Filler injections are carried out to the entire depth of soft tissue, so the gel does not just fill wrinkles and folds, but actually restores and remodels its lines, contours and volumes.

The optimal depth of gel injection and its density depends not only on the area of the face being modeled, but also on the individual characteristics of the correction. It is surprising that with such deep penetration the procedure is almost painless and does not leave swelling or bruising. The point here is not only in the doctor’s magical hands, but also in a special instrument. To carry out Softlifting, special atraumatic cannulas are used, which do not injure, but push apart the muscle and nerve fibers. So the only traces of intervention are tiny punctures on the skin. It should be noted that when performing Softlifting, only high-quality natural (biodegradable) drugs of the new generation are used, so the procedure is completely safe.
The DoctorPlastic clinic invites you to the original Softlifting procedure of Professor Samuelsson (Sweden). Sign up for June 25-27 by phone.
To relieve excess muscle tension that pulls the corners of the eyes and lips down, Professor Samuelsson usually uses pinpoint microinjections of Botox. In general, when carrying out the Softlifting procedure, the doctor is guided not by any rigid schemes, but by the wishes of the patients. Therefore, with the help of fillers and botulinum therapy, Professor Samuelsson solves different problems each time. The most popular tasks are rejuvenation of the eye area, elimination of nasolabial folds, modeling of the cheekbone line and facial contour; restoration of the volume of the lips, which usually become thinner with age, can be added.

An important advantage of Softliting is its immediate effect. Looking at herself in the mirror after the procedure, a woman immediately sees the result and can evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure. At the same time, it should be expected that the rejuvenating effect of the injections will improve within 5-7 days due to the gradual enhancement of the effect of Botox and the restoration of skin quality due to the prolonged action of the hyaluronic acid-based gel.
The result of Softlifting lasts for an average of 8-10 months, after which the procedure can be repeated.

Rehabilitation period
As mentioned above, the rehabilitation period as such after the softlift procedure is either not required at all, or it is minimal (1-3 days). And even so, we are only talking about the possibility of slight swelling in the injection area, traces of which can be eliminated with the help of cosmetics. As a rule, immediately after the procedure you can return to your normal life schedule. However, the full effect of rejuvenation and improvement of contours is visible after a few days.
In addition, after 7-10 days you will need to visit a doctor to evaluate your condition and the results of the procedure. After this, you must come for a consultation every 3 months to constantly monitor the result. You may need a new softlift procedure after 12 months.
Advantages of the softlifting technique
The main clear advantage of facial contouring for patients is that they can see the visual result in the mirror literally immediately after the procedure. The “fatigue” of the face goes away, lost volume returns, and it is possible to tighten the contours of the face. Moreover, the skin not only tightens, acquiring its previous shape, but also takes on a fresh, healthy appearance. If we talk about other advantages of the procedure, it is worth noting:
- absence of hematomas
- comfort and painlessness of the procedure
- the changes occur quite naturally, which allows you to maintain the confidentiality of the fact that you did any procedures at all
- the procedure can be used for people over 60 years of age, who are often denied plastic surgery for medical reasons
Contraindications
Since the softlift procedure is performed without anesthesia and is not associated with surgical trauma, it has no special contraindications. It can be done on elderly people, as well as on patients who have any contraindications for standard surgical interventions. The main contraindication to softlifting may be individual intolerance to hyaluronic acid, which is extremely rare. People with bleeding disorders and inflammatory diseases of the facial skin should not undergo the procedure.
Why should softlifting be trusted only to an experienced specialist?
Recently, cases have become more frequent when cosmetology centers and salons offer softlifting procedures at half price. Do not “buy” into such advertising, since the patented technique and all the intricacies of the procedure are known only to those who have been trained by its authors - leading specialists from Akademkliniken, where Softlift ® was developed. In addition, high results can only be achieved by using modern fillers of the latest generation.
The conclusions here are obvious. Carrying out a softlift without proper preparation is an unreasonable risk that will affect your appearance. Is it worth putting yourself through the test? Face lifting using contour plastic surgery is not just a procedure, it is the art of plastic surgeons. Therefore, do not rush to respond to offers from salons with a lower price and an unverified reputation. Contact Vadim Sergeevich Bakov at the clinic and modern facial rejuvenation techniques will be performed at the highest level.
Carrying out softlifting
First of all, unlike other procedures for injecting fillers under the skin. Softlifting should be performed not by a cosmetologist, but by a surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery. It is also recommended to undergo a full medical examination before the procedure to determine the presence of contraindications and to exclude allergies to drug components. Immediately before the procedure, you should not take vitamin E and aspirin. On the day of softlifting, the patient comes to the clinic and is invited into the office. Then the specialist disinfects the patient’s skin and applies markings along which he will administer the injections. If the patient is afraid of pain, local anesthesia in the form of a cream is applied. When everything is ready, the injection of filler with hyaluronic acid begins using special flexible rounded cannulas with a hole located on the side. Depending on the results that are planned to be achieved, injections can be carried out at different depths, and due to the elasticity of the cannulas, tissues and vessels are not injured, which means that hematomas and swelling do not occur. The total procedure time does not take more than 30 minutes.
Cost of the Soft-Lifting procedure
The price of SoftLifting depends on how many drugs (fillers) may be required to correct certain changes, which is determined by the degree of their severity. Another advantage of this technique is that it can be done in stages, i.e. in several stages.
The approximate price of facial contouring can be estimated by the following indicators (taking into account bilateral correction when using the drug Stylage, France):
