Refresher Lift vs mini lifts like lifestyle lifts

Christian Drehsen, MD answers: Refresher lift vs Lifestyle lift?

I am 44 years old and I am not really wrinkle, but I would like to have my upper lids done so it wouldn't be so noticable. What's the difference between Lifestyle Lift and Refresher Lift? And if I have the Lifestyle or Refrsher lift how long will that last?

Neither Refresher Lift nor lifestyle face lift address the upper lids. A standard upper lid procedure or sometimes a brow lift will accomplish this if the upper lids are the issue.

When it comes to your face, a Refresher Lift, even though it uses short incisions, is not a mini lift like the lifestyle mini lift, because it also uplifts the neck, jowls, and cheeks very effectively.

By repairing the deep supporting layers of the face, it produces more natural results and lasts much longer.
