Surgery Brand ID: In my opinion, this is not a standardized operation. It is essentially a place where surgeons are hired to perform a short scar facelift on patients provided by lifestyle lift marketing efforts. While some of these surgeons may possess excellent skills, it may not be consistent which is not unlike a "supercuts" or "great clips" approach applied to surgery. I understand they are trying to improve.

Lifestyle Lift: You need to be careful about the lifestyle face lift. Check the credentials of the physician performing the procedure. They should be board certified in plastic or facial plastic surgery. Regardless of the technique most facelift operations last 5-7 years.

Its the surgeon not: The procedure. Most people spend more time picking their wardrobe that they spend selecting their surgeon. Pick the right surgeon and they will proceed with the best procedure for you. You need to vary the procedure to correct the problems that the patient presents. One procedure cannot correct every patient.

Depends: A lifestyle lift is one form of a mini facelift. After any type of facelift you still age! yet, having done surgery you are always less wrinkled and aged then never having done surgery. Most people are satisfied with their results for years.

Facelift Results: The answer is complex: how much younger you will look is dependent on both technique and skill of the surgeon whereas the rate of aging is dependent on genetics, environmental, smoking history, etc. In general you will always look younger after facial rejuvenation than without it despite the aging clock ticking. https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/2011/11/29/minimal-scar-facelift-surgery-lite-.

Garbage: I'm just going to speak my mind on this one. The lifestyle lift is nothing more than an overmarketed short scar "mini" facelift. The lifestyle lift is also typically performed by less qualified surgeons who work for or to promote the company and have limited expertise on full or tradional facelift procedures. I have a major problem when this type of procedure when it is promoted to be better.

Brief: I am not a franchisee of this company and certainly individual techniques vary. I can only speak from personal experience where numerous patients have presented to me within 6 months to a year post lifestyle lift very disappointed in their results wishing they would have pursued a slightly more extensive procedure at a slightly higher cost which ultimately would have saved them money and time.

Minifacelift: A lifestyle lift is basically a mini facelift. A mini facelift typically lasts 8-10 years before a patient needs a touch up. Have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

Depends: Depends on what you mean by "last". The results are permanent, but you continue to age. You will get better results in many cases with a "full" facelift. See an opinion by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
