The treatment took approximately 2.5 hours per session and was performed twice, for a total treatment time of about 5 hours. These before-and-after photos were taken 45 days apart.

Read video transcript
Hello, my name is Anine Unger, I'm a medical esthetician, and I'm here to get a butterfly facelift. So we just completed the butterfly facelift on you. Look in the mirror and tell me what you think. So, the butterfly facelift, I'm 32 years old, made me, it makes me look like I'm 27 again. It's a complete lift. All the fine lines, anything that had any depth to it is full. But what I really liked so much was the machine that he used after. I had a little bit of filler that had some dents in it, and he completely evened it out. I had overfiller on my lip injection, and he took that down. And then the most amazing part of it all was I have an injury in my nose and he took fat out of the sides of my nose to make my nose look like I had a little rhinoplasty. Well, I want you to know I've been doing this for four years and I do it about three times a day. It was very nice having you here. Thank you so much. I'd recommend it to anybody from the age of 25 and up. Okay, thank you. Thank you. So what do you think about your third butterfly facelift? It is the craziest thing I've ever had. I used to get Botox all the time, and now I can't raise my forehead because of the microneedling and there's no Botox in my face. I'm 32 years old. He's probably taken off about through the whole three treatments. like eight years. He also did my breasts. I've lost 25 pounds, so I was always like a double D. Now I'm like a D, and he, they kind of, you know, dropped a little bit, and we measured it on a wall, and he raised my... breasts about an inch and a quarter through microneedling and radiofrequency. And his radiofrequency is such a high wattage that you could hear it from down here all the way into your ear. Well, thank you very much. Hope to see you again. Of course, you'll see me. all of my friends again. Thank you.

Unwanted Filler Fullness FAQ
Conservative answers based on the documented details of this case.
Can unwanted filler make the face look overfilled?
An overfilled appearance can be a concern associated with prior filler, but the cause and appropriate response depend on the individual. This documented case shows an improvement in the appearance of unwanted filler-related facial fullness after two Butterfly Facelift® sessions. Results vary.
What can be done about an overfilled facial appearance?
You can book a complimentary consultation with Newport Beach Skin Tightening to discuss your appearance goals and whether the Butterfly Facelift® or another non-surgical skin-tightening approach may be appropriate. The consultation is not a substitute for medical assessment or filler-dissolving care.
Is this the same as dissolving filler with hyaluronidase?
No. This page documents two Butterfly Facelift® sessions intended to improve the appearance of unwanted filler-related fullness. Hyaluronidase filler dissolving is a distinct medical treatment, and this case page does not document its use.
Can the Butterfly Facelift® be used after previous filler?
This case is presented around the appearance of unwanted filler-related fullness, but suitability after previous filler must be considered individually. The published details do not record the type, amount, timing, or medical history of any prior filler, so a consultation is needed before discussing an appearance-focused plan.
How far apart were these before-and-after photographs taken?
The before-and-after photographs were taken 45 days apart.
How many Butterfly Facelift® sessions were documented?
This case documents two Butterfly Facelift® sessions, approximately 2.5 hours per session and about five hours in total.
Can I schedule a consultation in Newport Beach or Orange County?
Consultations and treatments are available by appointment at both our Newport Beach Corporate Office & Facility and Costa Mesa Private Studio & Facility. We’ll confirm the appropriate location for your selected service when your appointment is scheduled.
