We are naturally attracted to right proportions and balance and that is what we perceive as “beauty.” The same is true for cosmetic procedures and the most beautiful and appealing results are those that are proportional and balanced. The “4D Under Eye Lift” procedure developed by Dr. Jafari, MD is a key step toward achieving this.
4D Under Eye Lift™ is a highly refined approach to non-surgically treat dark circles, bags, and hollowness under eyes and contour cheeks using filler injections that are performed at strategically selected locations under eyes and in the cheeks and other adjacent areas.
The 4D Under Eye™ Lift Approach to Rejuvenation
The area under the eyes is an anatomically sensitive area and not many cosmetic physicians have expertise to perform injections there. Moreover, patients commonly end up being over-filled or not looking very good after doing filler injections under the eyes. While some adjustments might always be needed after any filler treatments done, in order for the filler treatments under eyes to work nicely and look good, the injection must be done in a particular way and at carefully selected areas to be able to not only restore the volume loss under the eyes, but also address the commonly-ignored volume loss in the adjacent areas such as cheeks and nicely contour them. The 4D Under Eye Lift procedure addresses this by ensuring that there is uniform volume restoration and contouring in the area, as opposed to leaving one area over-filled and other areas under-filled, contributing to undesired outcomes.
How is the 4D Under Eye Lift™ Procedure done?
During this procedure, Dr. Jafari performs injection of a combination of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based fillers (such as Juvederm Volbella, Restylane, Belotero and Voluma) using flexible cannula. Cannula is a flexible specific needle with blunt (non-sharp) tip that can freely slide under the skin without causing pain or damaging tissues and doctors can use it to inject fillers in far reaching areas from a single small point of entry with minimal pain and bruising.
Where Does the Name (4D Under Eye Lift) Come From?
Successful restoration of volume under the eyes and in the mid face requires a thorough understanding of and attention to the 3-dimensional structure and anatomy of the face and the placement of fillers are akin to sculpting and placing layers upon layers in a 3-dmentional way to create the desired look from every angle. When done skillfully, the patient’s natural look and beauty is maintained but the face will look more refreshed and youthful. In a sense, the time – the 4th dimension – is reversed, and that is where the name of this procedure comes from.
