As a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, I think that I can give you an idea of how this procedure is performed.
The Lifestyle lift is a procedure that can be utilized to bring rejuvenation of the face for patients. Depending on the areas to be address (cheeks and/or neck) then the surgeon decides the techniques or procedures that he is going to utilize to reach his goal for the patient. Also, if it is necessary to add more procedures, he will discuss this with the patient.
These surgeries are the same or similar techniques or procedures that any plastic surgeon would use in any place to perform the same amount of rejuvenation or to address the same problems. The major difference is that the patient does not need to incur in the cost of general anesthesia, a cost that could be very significant and sometimes adding risks.
So you see that there is no magic, or secrets. It is virtually the same surgeries that make possible to bring rejuvenation to our patients. It does not mater if it is a Facelift, Mini-Lift, or Lifestyle lift. The most important thing is to know how to select your physician, so that he is able to correctly select the best surgical procedure for your facial rejuvenation goals.
My last recommendation, always trust your face to a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.
