Branded Facelifts
Branded facelifts are an interesting phenomenon of facial plastic surgery. There are many positive and negative comments for these types of lifts from both patients and doctors. Why do you think there is so much controversy?
One reason why is that anytime there is change, you will always find resistance, and this situation is no different.
A branded facelift is like a tool: it is neither good nor bad, it all depends on how it is used. Just like any other tool, a...

Many variations by name and technique to face Lidft and Mini Lifts
What's in a name? Could be the surgery center's idea of marketing or perhaps some trechnique variation to a Face Lift or Mini Lift. I would have no way of knowing and your best bet is to pay for a few consultations, this one and several others with experience and good reputations performing Face Lifts and Mini Lifts, so you can learn the difference and decide which, if any, are right for you.

More marketing hooey.
Again nothing wrong with what this North Carolina surgeon is proposing. Mini and limited facelifts come in all varieties and forms. Associating one's name or a name with one's technique can suggest that there is something special about the particular approach and that it standard marketing fare. Nothing particularly unique about the surgical approach. I must say that this surgeon does have great prices compared to the major cities. However, before you...

The Branding And Marketing of The Mini-Facelift
These names of limited or mini-facelifts are of marketing origin, not of a better or longer-lasting facelifting technique. Like the Lifestyle Lift, Quicklift and many other such branded names, they are simply scaled down or more minimally invasive facelift or facial rejuvenation methods. There is nothing wrong with these surgical techniques if your facial aging problem is well matched to what these procedures can achieve. (a minimal amount of jowling and neck sagging only needs a minimal...

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.

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...

Facelift - What is the Biltmore Plastic Surgery Compare to Traditional Facelift?
What's in a name?...attaching someone or something's name to a procedure risks confusing the issues. There are many different procedures, types of procedures, variants - and even the same surgeon rarely does any given procedure exactly the same every time. So when you hear of a procedure with a name - you have to ask what that really means? And that's how I would answer that question - what IS a Biltmore (or any other named) facelift? Once you know that,...

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...

Just a branded facelift - marketing tactic
Many physicians create their own names for a facelift, such as this example, it is usually nothing more than a marketing tactic.

Biltmore facelift
I have never heard of the Biltmore facelift. I don't know if it's named after the Biltmore Hotel or after Dr. Biltmore if there is one. It sounds to me like the doctor is trying to impress you with a fancy name. Most facelifts are essentially the same in that they involve incisions around the ears and in the hairline and the lifting and tightening of the underlying muscle and skin. You are better off making your selection based on the skill and experience of the particular surgeon based...
