Surgeon performing the lift is much more important than the style of lift

William A. Portuese, MD answers: PSP facelift results as dramatic as SMAS facelift?

I am seeing a surgeon tomorrow, who suggests going ahead with a PSP Facelift. I'd like to know first, will PSP facelift results look as dramatic as SMAS facelift?

Patients should not get carried away with the different styles of facelifts that even in the very trained eye have very subtle differences. What is most important is to find a facial surgeon the patient can trust. It is important that the patient looks at 15 to 20 before-and-after results from a surgeon to determine the consistency and quality of the surgeon’s work prior to embarking on the style of facelift. The surgeon performing the lift is much more important than the style of lift being performed.
