Lifestyle lift vs. lipo
These are done for different things. Liposuction is done to remove fat and any type of lift is used to remove excess skin. Watch my video.

Facelift or liposuction
A facelift and liposuction each accomplish two different things.
Liposuction is simply a permanent removal of fat in the submental area and in the neck. It is not performed on the face because facial fat is a youthful trait.
A facelift involves smoothing fat in the neck, tightening the neck muscles both in front and behind the jawline, tightening excess skin, and removing fat above and below the platysma muscle. A lower face and neck lift is a...

Lifestyle lift vs extensive facelift, both can work
A Liftestyle lift is a term used by a national facelift company franchise to denote a brand of a mini-lift. A facelift will entail many different techniques to different surgeons. Although there are no "hard and fast" rules and even less randomized, double blinded trials proving whether or not a mini-lift lasts as long as a more extensive facelift, there are a few things that most physicians will agree on and they are; (i) that the skin must be elevated off the underlying...

Lifestyle Lift vs Liposuction
Liposuction is used in facial rejuvenation to treat facial aging only in conjunction with a facelift. Without removal of the lax skin, volume reduction will make the patient look worse. The Lifestyle Lift has been criticized as a limited procedure that will not provide long term results. See an experienced surgeon who can discuss alternatives and establish reasonable expectations.

Lifestyle Lift or liposuction
Did this question open a bag of interest! As you can read the expert posters in all feel seeing a true face lift expert is the way to proceed. Remember it is your face - the $'s should not be the issue! The result should!

Liposuction vs. "lifestyle Lift"--which is better.
I agree with Dr. Rand's answer. See an experienced facelift surgeon and he will tell you what you need based on his experience and talent.

The better facelift for you
The better facelift for you is one that is specifically tailored to your particular needs. If the same facelift procedure is used for all, sometimes it will work well, and sometimes it will not. Facelift is a catch-all term which can describe many techniques or combinations to address facial aging. Your problems may include a jowl and marionette line, a fatty neck, one that is loose, or a neck that is a lessor problem with focus on the mid facial area. A single procedure on TV may be too...

Lifestyle Lift and Liposuction in facial rejuvenation
The Lifestyle Lift (and the MACS Lift, QuickLift, etc.) are designed to lift the jowl and neck the same as traditional facelifts when used by Plastic Surgeons who understand the principles of facial rejuvenation. I personally use the MACS Lift with modifications for each person depending on their needs. The nice thing about these procedures, when used properly, is that they preserve the fat in the face and restore it to its normal position.

Most faces have lost fat so suction is limited and does not lift.
Unless a patient has gained a great deal of weight as they have grown older, the face usually needs all the fat that is there, although it may benefit from repositioning.
My personal opinion from the patients I have seen is that the named lifts usually have little style and less life because beautiful facial rejuvenation is not standardized but rather customized.

Facelifts need to be customized to the patient
Facial rejuvenation, perhaps more than any other procedure in cosmetic surgery, has to be customized to the patient's condition and goals. That is one reason why brand-name "cookie cutter" procedures have such low ratings on Real Self; they are based more on a marketing concept than a detailed and personalized analysis. Liposuction removes fat but does not tighten skin enough to substitute for a facelift, even with the laser.
