The results offered by branded, heavily marketed, "one hour" procedure "magic lifts" are reminiscent of this old story. When a patient has indications for a facelift (jowls, mid facial descent, obliquity in the neck), one hour is simply not enough..... ......you can take it to the bank!
The fact remains that when any facelift type procedure (branded or otherwise) is performed in only one hour, there are two plausibe scenarios: a) the patient didn't need a facelift to begin with, or b) a lot of short cuts were taken in the procedure. For patients I have seen postoperatively after branded facelifts, the latter option has usually been true. The unfortunate outcome for the patient is very little visible aesthetic benefit from the branded lift procedure combined with very visible scars.
I would advise prospective patients to seek the advice of well trained Facial Plastic Surgeons or Plastic Surgeons in your area, listen to word of mouth, and heed advice that sounds plausible. Don't let your "New Clothes" be visible scars that any self respecting surgeon would be ashamed of.
