What is a one-hour facelift?

Peter A. Aldea, MD answers: What is a one-hour facelift?

I've heard about a "one hour face lift" but I don't know how effective it is or what it involves...is it surgery?  What sort of facelift is this and is it as good as a "traditional" facelift?

The "ONE HOUR" Facelift is closely related to the "LunchTime", "Quick", ""Day", "Thread", "Lifestyle", "Liquid", "Nonsurgical" and Mini" face lifts.

I am sure that as more frustrated physicians quit practicing what they were trained to do (Internal Medicine, Family Practice, Gynecology, ER Medicine etc), they will add even more "innovative" techniques. The "ONE HOUR", "LunchTime", "Quick", ""Day", "Thread", "Lifestyle", "Liquid", "Nonsurgical" and Mini"  will soon be joined by the "Beverly HillS', Rodeo Drive", "90210", "The All Natural", "Star Wars", Lazer", "Drive in, Drive out", "have your Starbucks while we work" and "You got a face? We can lift it!"  "Facelift" procedures.

To be successful a well planned Facelift needs to separate sagging facial structures, lift and reposition them where they belong and leave the best compromise of hidden scars that allow such a procedure.

MINI procedures work only in individuals who have mini deformities and ALWAYS produce mini - results.

Save your money. Educate yourself. You CAN do better.
