Are 1 Hour Facelifts Really Possible?

What types of procedures are used for these "1 hour lifts" as advertised by Lifestyle Lift Centers that I saw on TV. (http://www.lifestylelift.com/)

A: One hour facelift- is there any value to it?

There will never be the longtime results from a hastily performed one hour facelift that will  be possible with a properly performed facelift performed by well trained professionals.  This has been seen many times as I continue to  evaluate the inadequate surgical results that is evident  in many of the patients who have had these procedures performed , and who continue to be unhappy  with the longevity of the results.  Don't be influenced by advertisements and  claims made as opposed to the more important comments from actual patients.  Good luck to you.

What is the Miracle Facelift?

I heard about the Miracle Facelift on TV and was wondering how it is non surgical? What types of fillers are used to achieve the refreshed and youthful look? Thank you for your input.

A: What is a Miracle Lift?

Filling wrinkles with filler products, whether the filler is a form of Radiesse, Juvederm. Restylane, Perlene or even the  longer lasting Artecoll only plump out the skin, just as does fat injections.  There will be no tissue tightening or skin removal as is often required to give a long lasting lift as most of us desire.  There is nothing miraculous about a Miracle Lift, except the possible profits that the non surgeon may reap from trying to convince the public that the results are comparable.  Please do your homework and consider what you really want from this interest in youthful improvement.  Surgery stands alone as the most successful of the efforts.  There is nothing wrong with the use of fillers-  I use them all of the time in my practice, but  they will not give the results that surgery offers.

 

Good luck to you.

A: Miracle facelift?

  If you saw it on TV, it is a marketing ploy.  Folks advertise because it works but it never ceases to amaze how many people are fooled by false advertising claims and dishonest photos (ie lighting and makeup and posing and digital manipulation tricks).  The chances are it will cost a lot of money and the results are likely to be mixed and transient, despite the "miracle" patients you see in the ad.  Be wary!
