In the world of facial rejuvenation, surgical facelifts once stood as the only path to reversing time. But for many patients, surgery felt too invasive, the downtime too long, and the results too dramatic. Dr. Alina Stanciu, a Board-Certified Eye Physician, Surgeon, and Cosmetic Specialist, recognized the need for a gentler, more refined approach to facial restoration—one that enhances natural beauty rather than altering it.
This insight led to the creation of The European Fluid Facelift, an innovative, non-surgical procedure developed exclusively by Dr. Stanciu to lift, contour, and rejuvenate the face with precision and artistry.
A New Era in Facial Rejuvenation
Unlike traditional facelifts, which rely on incisions and skin tightening, the European Fluid Facelift uses strategic injections of advanced dermal fillers to restore lost volume, redefine facial structure, and smooth fine lines. The treatment is designed to lift the midface, contour the jawline, and refresh the eyes—without surgery, anesthesia, or extended recovery time.
What makes this technique uniquely European lies in its balance of anatomy, aesthetics, and restraint. Drawing from her medical training and decades of surgical experience, Dr. Stanciu approaches each face as a unique canvas. “My goal is to restore the natural harmony of the face, not to change it,” she explains. “Patients should look rested, youthful, and refreshed—not ‘done.’”
The Science Behind the Technique
Dr. Stanciu’s method combines multi-layered filler placement with advanced cannula techniques to achieve natural lift and contour while minimizing bruising and swelling. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, with visible results immediately after treatment and continued improvement over the following weeks.
The European Fluid Facelift is often enhanced with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bio-stimulatory fillers, promoting collagen production for longer-lasting rejuvenation. Each treatment plan is personalized, targeting areas where aging has caused volume loss or skin laxity. The result is a youthful, sculpted appearance—no surgery required.
A Surgeon’s Precision Meets an Artist’s Eye
Dr. Stanciu’s expertise in oculo-facial surgery provides her with unparalleled knowledge of facial anatomy, muscle structure, and tissue behavior. This background allows her to perform cosmetic procedures with the same precision she applies in delicate eye surgeries. With over 20 years of experience, she has earned a reputation for delivering results that are both scientifically advanced and aesthetically refined.
Patients often describe their results as transformative yet completely natural. “Friends tell me I look refreshed, but they can’t tell what I’ve done,” one patient shares. “That’s how I know it’s perfect.”
Experience Matters
Practicing in Naples and Bonita Springs for two decades, Dr. Stanciu leads the Naples Eye & Aesthetics Institute and MediFace Spa, where she and her team specialize in advanced aesthetic and ophthalmologic care. Her boutique-style practice allows for individualized attention and continuity of care—every patient receives treatment directly from Dr. Stanciu herself.
She also developed Bella Piel MD, a medical-grade skincare line formulated to support anti-aging, dry eye therapy, and post-procedure healing, reflecting her holistic commitment to patient wellness and confidence.
Where Medicine Meets Art
At its core, the European Fluid Facelift embodies Dr. Stanciu’s philosophy: to treat every patient as she would a loved one—with precision, compassion, and artistry.
