QUESTION: How can the Natural Lift package change and/or enhance my face?
ANSWER: The face ages in 4 ways. Firstly, there are the changes we see in the skin due to sun damage and secondly the changes related to constant movement of the face creating expression lines like crow’s feet or frown lines. Thirdly, the face ages by descent of the tissues there or tissue ptosis. This is usually most notable in the neck, the jowl and the brow, although even the tip of the nose can descend as the years go by.
The forth way is by loss of volume. A young face is a big face with prominent cheeks and a strong jaw line and round full lips. As we age we start to lose this fullness in the face and it can often be the first way we show our age. The natural lift program from Q-med is to restore the volume to the ageing face. It uses a combination of products to do this.
Sub Q is a large particle Restylane product designed for deeper placement in the tissues. It is ideal for restoring the contour of the cheek or enhancing of the jaw line.

In addition to the Sub Q, Restylane itself is used in areas of need, such as defining the border of the lips and preventing lipstick bleed, soften lines in the lips and the nasolabial regions. Basically it can be applied anywhere that lines are prominent to make them less distinct and to help restore contour and shape. The natural lift program can assist women or men of any age but its effects are often seen most dramatically in the younger age groups (30+) who have not yet developed tissue ptosis and have a relatively snug skin envelope still.
Volume replacement works best when the skin envelope is snug and therefore in these patients a very natural and youthful fullness to the face can be restored with injectable products with minimal down time in the office.
