Beware of the creative names for old procedures

Kamran Khoobehi, MD answers: How long do the effects of a Lifestyle Lift last?

A regular Facelift or separate procedures cost so much more, but I've been told that the effects last 5-10 years if you don't smoke, or experience weight changes. How long can I expect the effects of a Lifestyle Lift to last under similar conditions?

The result of each procedure depends on the patient and the doctor.Your results depends on the surgeons skill, your genetic and your life style. In general if a procedure has less down time and has less swelling and take less time to do will give you less of a result  . Some patients need less of procedure because they are younger or they don't have much sagging. The best thing is to do the procedure that patient need not the one that surgeon offers and uses creative name that are sometimes misleading.
