"Lifestyle lift" cost vs. "real facelift" cost?
Lifestyle lifts are name-branded facial "mini" lifts done by doctors who "sign up" with the Lifestyle Lift national marketing campaign to supplement their income. When you go to one of their "centers" for a consultation, you are seen by a "care consultant" who decides if you are [gullible enough to pay several thousand dollars for an often-mediocre "short-incision" one-operation-fits-all pseudo-facelift by a doctor who you don't meet...

Cost of Facelift vs Lifestyle Lift
Lifestyle Lift is a franchised procedure designed to make money, not provide you the best result. They make money by cutting corners which may put you in danger. I have no doubt that the originator has enough experience to do a good job. If you have the exact problem that the doctor on duty the day of your surgery, you may also get a good result. I have even seen this once. If every corporate policy is followed, it may even be safe. The problem comes in who decides what you...

Is price the reason to choose a Lifestyle lift or a real facelift?
You only have one face and the whole world sees it. Consequently you should do the best research you can to get the most complete result and also the most natural looking result you can get. Find a doctor who will meet with you for an hour at your first visit, who will be doing your surgery and all of your aftercare. If you want the best, most customized surgery to meet your needs and the best aftercare, you should go to a private practic plastic surgeon and not to a...

Facelift versus Lifestyle Lift
Lifestyle Lift is a trademark. In reality, it is a lower third facelift typically using a SMAS imbrication or plication technique and a platysmaplasty to address the neck. I have met a few surgeons who currently work for or have worked for the company. The few that I have met are well trained surgeons.
The problems with the Lifestyle Lift is that their model does not allow for individual tayloring of procedures to meet a specific patient's needs. Everybody gets a lower...

Facelift compared to lifestyle lift
A full comprehensive face/neck lift usually runs between $10-$15,000. This addresses tightening of the jowls, the facial features, tightening the muscles in the posterior portion of the neck, the anterior portion of the neck, fat removal both above and below the platysma muscle, and neckbands. A mini lift is not going to address all of that. A mini lift will give mini results and does not address the aging neck. The cost of a mini lift is approximately half but is...

Facelift short cuts
I agree completely with all the posts below. Find a true plastic and reconstructive surgeon that you trust and ask them if they think a 'lifestyle lift' would be indicated in you. In my personal opinion, there is not a patient out there that needs skin resection that does not need tightening and reshaping of the SMAS(the deeper plane that makes a true facelift a true facelift). When I perform a facelift all of the tension is carried by the SMAS not the skin which...

Price of Facelift vs. Lifestyle lift
The price of a lifestyle lift is likely far less than a facelift customized for you by an experienced, well trained plastic surgeon. But, the cost in terms of complications, unsatisfactory results or possible reoperations could be very significant. The results of a good facelift are long lasting. The results of a bad facelift are forever.
My time on the day of surgery will benefit my patients the rest of their lives. Personally, for me, it would be a soulless pursuit for my office to...

How Much is a Face Lift Compared to a Lifestyle Lift ?
When everything is said and done, IMHO you always get what you pay for and when something seems too good to be true, it generally is. Your face and appearance is an important asset and the real question is why would you not want the very best. That means, IMO, a well trained, experienced face lift surgeon who will perform the face lift with you monitored in a fully accredited surgical facility. If you're looking to spend less or save money, take a great vacation...

How Much is a Face Lift Compared to a Lifestyle Lift ?
LSL runs $5,000 to $8,000 done under local only, no monitoring, minimal supplies. a mini facelift by a boarded PS runs the same but you will be monitored and safety FIRST is the idea.
