Please explain if Biltmore lift is another name for mini facelift? If Biltmore plastic surgery is another type of surgery, how long the result lasts compare to mini facelift? Thanks, Kathy T.
Answer: The Biltmore Lift is a Face and Neck Lift at Biltmore Plastic Surgery Simply put, the Biltmore Lift is a face and neck lift performed at Biltmore Plastic Surgery in Asheville, NC by Dr. David Harley. Over the years, I have performed several thousand face and neck lifts using a variety of techniques, including SMAS plication, lateral SMASectomy, and the deep plane facelift technique. I have been performing mostly deep plane facelifts recently. Most of these include platysmaplasty with some sculpting and removal of fat from along the jawline and neck. The common ingredient for all of my lifts has been the use of local anesthesia and oral sedation. Patients are thus able to walk in and walk out of the office, and also they enjoy the benefit of reduced costs and practically zero anesthetic downtime. So from an anesthesia standpoint, I would describe this as minimally invasive. However, I have learned that while patients desire minimally invasive procedures, most do not usually want mini results. Therefore, I have employed what I feel is the most sophisticated face and neck lift technique available today, known as the deep plane face and neck lift. This procedure offers optimal results, both natural and long-lasting, while being done under local anesthesia. Clearly, patients agree and often travel across the country and around the world for the procedures we provide. Many times their friends and family travel the same distances after seeing their loved one’s new look.

Answer: Branded facelift? Thank you for your question. There are many branded "lifts" on the market, so this can be very confusing. some can refer to minimally invasive facelift techniques such as a mini lift. These techniques are best suited to patients with mild aging changes. Moderate to severe aging changes would more likely benefit from a more traditional facelift. I would recommend consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss what option is best for you."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."

Answer: Branded face lifts
Branded face lifts such as Lifestyle, Quick lift, and hundreds of lesser known ones are nothing but attempts at surgeons and organizations marketing themselves.

Answer: Face Lift
Seldom do people marketing a particular procedure give all the details of the procedure. I would not be as concerned about the name, but ask specifically what is the procedure going to entail, how far they going to undermine, or dissect, and if they are going to repair the muscle or SMAS. Are they going to do any liposuction, and how far is the incision going to extend. Also, ask if they will repair any platysma bands in the neck, and how. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and ask them what you need, and what procedure they will be doing.

Answer: Branded Facelifts
My advice to anyone considering facial rejuvenation: be very skeptical about the numerous branded "fantasy" lifts currently marketed today. I don't specifically know what a "Biltmore" lift is, but I can assure you that it does not represent any thing new, anything safer, or more effective than current techniques. The fact is that most Surgeons individualize their Facelifts based on experience and their patient population, so a prospective patient will receive a different result based on who he/she chooses to perform the procedure.
