In the world of facial rejuvenation, surgical facelifts once stood as the only path to reverse aging. But for many patients, surgery fells too invasive, the downtime is too long, and the results are not only dramatic but can be less than the patient’s expectations. Dr. Alina Stanciu, a Board-Certified Eye Physician, Surgeon, and Cosmetic Surgeon recognized the need for a gentler, more refined approach to facial rejuvenation – one that enhances your natural beauty rather than altering it with no downtime and better results.
This insight led to the creation of The European Liquid 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 Liquid Facelift uses strategic injections of advanced dermal fillers such as Sculptra, diluted Radiesse and other dermal fillers integrated into her procedures. The specialized treatments restore lost volume, redefine facial structure, and smooth fine lines while increasing collagen stimulation. This sculpting technique is Dr. Stanciu’s own development and performed by her only. Her advanced techniques are designed to lift the mid face, contour the jawline, and refresh the eyes – without surgery, anesthesia, or extended recovery time. The main goal is a natural, youthful result.
What creates this unique youthful look lies in Dr. Stanciu’s study of balancing your own anatomy, with carefully applied aesthetics, and artful restraint. Drawing from her medical training and decades of surgical experience, Dr. Stanciu approaches each patient’s face as a unique canvas in which she masterfully and artfully improves your youthful look. “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, puffy, pulled or tightened.”
The Science Behind the Technique
Dr. Stanciu’s method combines multi-layered filler placement with advanced 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 Liquid Facelift is often enhanced with the anti-aging face and eye cream, Bella Piel MD, exclusively developed by Dr. Stanciu. Bio-stimulatory fillers promote collagen production for longer-lasting rejuvenation. Each treatment plan is personalized, targeting areas where aging has caused volume loss or skin & muscles laxity. The result is a youthful, sculpted appearance with 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. Significant results have been experienced by patients using her proprietary medical grade skincare line.
Where Medicine Meets Art
At its core, the European Liquid Facelift embodies Dr. Stanciu’s philosophy: to treat every patient as she would a loved one – with precision, compassion, and artistry.
