For patients seeking a comprehensive liquid facelift in Manhattan, BaseLift™ restores the deep foundation that helps maintain a youthful facial shape, contour, balance, and harmony.
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.
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.
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.
For more than two decades, Dr. Stephen Bracci has focused on understanding how faces age and how support beneath the skin gradually changes over time. His approach emphasizes restoring structural support rather than simply treating visible wrinkles and folds.
Many practices focus on adding volume. VERVE focuses on restoring support. By addressing age-related changes in bone, fat, muscle, collagen, and connective tissue, treatment becomes more comprehensive, natural, and anatomically driven.
VERVE approaches facial rejuvenation through three complementary pillars:
Together, these pillars help restore facial harmony while supporting long-term tissue health and natural aging.
Treatment plans may incorporate structural fillers, biostimulatory injectables such as Radiesse® and Sculptra®, wrinkle relaxers, PRF, PRP, and other regenerative therapies depending on the patient’s anatomy, goals, and pattern of aging.
Absolutely. Most of us naturally lose volume unevenly, and it can be made worse by things like sleeping on one side of your face. Because the BaseLift™ is entirely customized, I can precisely adjust how much product I use and how deep it goes on each side of your face. We can easily reinforce weaker jawline or build up a flatter cheekbone on one side to bring your features back into balance.
Because facial structural depletion affects everyone differently, there is no single perfect age. We successfully treat patients in their late 30s who are just starting to notice subtle shadowing around the mouth and cheeks, as well as patients in their 50s, 60s, and beyond who want significant facial restoration without undergoing a surgical facelift.
To allow the structural fillers and biostimulators to settle perfectly into their targeted deep tissue layers, you should avoid vigorous facial massages, heavy exercise, and intense heat (like saunas, steam rooms, or direct hot sun) for the first 24 to 48 hours. I also recommend sleeping on your back with your head slightly elevated on an extra pillow the first night to help minimize any baseline swelling.
