Not all face lifts and Lifestyle lifts are the same

Otto Joseph Placik, 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?

Not only do patient's heal differently but Lifestyle lifts are performed by different surgeons using different techniques.

Futhermore the Lifrestyle Lift was "invented" by Dr, Kent in 2001. So it has only been perfomed for 8 years. How can they tell you it lasts 5-10 years when it hasn't been around that long?

There is no way to predict how long it will last.

Using the message boards and blogs may be useful to you in this regard.
