While the results of minilifts performed under tension can be fleeting, the scarring may not be. A quick visit to the LifeStyle Lift section of RealSelf.com shows that 60% of patients are unhappy with their LSL. The most common reasons cited were bad scarring and inadequate rejuvenation.
One of the reasons for dissatisfaction is that patients received scars of a full facelift, but only received results of a minilift. They thought they were getting a facelift for a bargain price. Instead, they received a minilift at a bargain price. Now faced with the cost of revisions, the bargain does not seem so great.
When incisions are closed under tension, they spread and create wide scars.
It is better to see a board certified plastic surgeon and have a properly performed facelift, in my opinion, than to have a minilift of any heavily marketed name performed by a novice or a non board certified doctor.
