Likely Marketing

D.J. Verret, MD answers: What is a "one-stitch lift"?

I have heard of a "one-stitch" lift.  Is there really such a thing? Apparently a doctor does a stitch, that lifts the skin a bit, up along the hairline. Is this a good procedure?

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. While this may seem like a reasonable solution, it is unlikely to produce lasting results. The procedure is not one that is widely writen about in the medical literature and thus is likely a marketing tool.

They all sound similar, and I would group them as sales gimmicks.  You never get something for nothing, and the extension is that for a minimal procedure, you get a minimal result.

Sorry, but that is my opinion.  I do not like sales tactics whereby major results are promised from minimal procedures.  Either they are sugar-coating a real procedure by giving it a catchy name, or you really are going to get "nothing".
