What Is BaseLift™?

BaseLift™ is Dr. Stephen Bracci’s trademarked approach to Structural Non-Surgical Facial Restoration, designed to rebuild the structural support beneath the skin that naturally diminishes with age. Over time, the face gradually loses support as bone, fat, muscle, collagen, and connective tissues change. Rather than focusing on isolated lines, wrinkles, or areas of volume loss, BaseLift™ restores the foundation that helps maintain youthful facial shape, contour, balance, and harmony.

Depending on the individual, treatment may incorporate structural fillers, collagen-stimulating biostimulators such as Radiesse® and Sculptra®, and regenerative therapies such as PRF to restore support naturally and progressively. Unlike a surgical facelift, BaseLift™ involves no cutting, repositioning, or tissue removal. The result is natural-looking rejuvenation that appears refreshed, balanced, harmonious, and authentically you.

What Is the “Base of the Face”?

The base of the face refers to the support structures underneath the skin, the fat, bone, and muscle, that give the face its shape and contour. As we age, this foundational support gradually depletes, which leads to sagging, folding, and volume loss.

Why Does Skin Sag as We Age?

Facial aging occurs when the structural support beneath the skin gradually diminishes over time, including changes in bone, fat, muscle, collagen, and connective tissue. As this foundation weakens, the face often becomes flatter, heavier, less defined, and less harmonious. The skin begins to fold, sag, and descend because the support system beneath it is no longer as strong as it once was.

BaseLift™ focuses on restoring structural support rather than simply filling lines and wrinkles. By rebuilding support beneath the skin, facial contours, balance, and harmony can be restored without surgery, cutting, or skin stretching.

How Is BaseLift™ Performed?

BaseLift™ utilizes a customized combination of structural fillers, biostimulatory injectables, and regenerative therapies strategically placed throughout the upper, middle, and lower face. Rather than treating isolated wrinkles or folds, Dr. Stephen Bracci focuses on restoring support at key structural points that influence facial shape, contour, balance, and harmony. Treatment is individualized to each patient’s anatomy and pattern of aging, utilizing advanced injection techniques designed to restore support while preserving natural facial movement, expression, and character. There is no cutting, tissue removal, repositioning, or artificial tension placed on the skin. The goal is simple: restore the structural support beneath the face so results appear natural, refreshed, balanced, and authentically you.

When Will I See Results?

One of the benefits of BaseLift™ is that results are visible immediately after treatment. Patients typically notice improved facial contours, restored volume, and a more lifted appearance before leaving the office. As swelling resolves and collagen-stimulating fillers begin working, results may continue to improve in the weeks following treatment.

How Is BaseLift™ Different From Other Filler Treatments?

Many filler treatments focus on replacing volume. BaseLift™ focuses on restoring structural support. As we age, the face changes because of the gradual loss of bone, fat, muscle, collagen, and connective tissue beneath the skin. Rather than chasing individual lines, folds, and areas of volume loss, BaseLift™ restores the support system that helps maintain youthful facial shape, contour, balance, and harmony. Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment may incorporate structural fillers, collagen-stimulating biostimulators, and regenerative therapies to improve support at multiple levels. The result is natural-looking rejuvenation that appears refreshed, balanced, and harmonious—without looking overfilled, overdone, or surgically altered.

How Long Do Baselift Results Last?

BaseLift™ results often last 12 months or longer, depending on the individual, the products utilized, and the body’s natural rate of metabolism. Unlike treatments that simply add temporary volume, BaseLift™ focuses on restoring structural support while frequently incorporating biostimulatory treatments such as Radiesse® and Sculptra® that stimulate the body’s own collagen production. As collagen, elastin, circulation, and tissue quality improve, many patients continue to benefit from enhanced support, facial harmony, and natural rejuvenation long after the initial treatment. Periodic maintenance treatments help preserve structural support and allow patients to age proactively rather than reactively.

How Much Does BaseLift™ Cost?

Cost is based on the number and types of fillers used during the procedure. Because this is a full-face treatment tailored to your anatomy, pricing varies based on your unique needs. During your consultation, Dr. Bracci will provide a customized plan and review all costs and treatment options.

Why Choose BaseLift™? 

Unlike surgery or topical creams, BaseLift™ restores the foundation and lifts by addressing the root cause of aging: the loss of structural support. 

The method rebuilds what’s been lost rather than removing or pulling tissue. That’s what makes it both effective and natural-looking. Every part of the face benefits from a personalized blend of cosmetic fillers, allowing for a multi-dimensional lift that enhances your natural features without changing them.

Same-Day Natural Results Through Clinical Restraint

  • The objective is not to create a different face.
