Quicklift
There are as many different "lifts" as surgeons and patients. Just as MACS lift or SMAS lift or deep plane lift etc all refer to a baseline technique ,all are individualized to fit the needs of the patient if the doctor is experienced and well-trained. I have performed hundreds of Quicklifts and countless other iterations of the basic facelift that have been described or popularized over the last 30 years. All have great results and occasional bad and it falls on the surgeon's...

Quicklift
Beware of any surgical procedure promoted as quick and/or easy. In my opinion, operating is never "easy" and I always take my time to get the best result possible in my hands. Procedures advertised as having little down time often underdeliver or are just a bait and switch to get you into the office. Face lift is probably the most individualized procedure I do. In my opinion, there is not such thing as a standard face or a standard face lift. Some...

The key with great facial surgery is customizing.
Will a "quicklift" be right for you? It depends on your issues. However, it is my feeling that it is almost not worth having a facelift unless the neck is addressed. Miniface lift techniques do not address the midline neck issues. The dilemma with a quicklift is that due to its proprietary nature, if you see someone who offers this service, they usually do not perform a full range of facelifting procedures. In my opinion, you are far better off seeing...

Standard Facelift vs QuickLift
Although there is really no such thing as a “Standard Lift,” what is generally meant is that the technique lifts the SMAS (the support layer of the face) and rotates it, then lays the skin back down, removing the excess. The QuickLift is a modification of the MACS Lift, a different concept that elevates only the skin (usually less than in the “Standard Facelift”) and tightens the SMAS with superficial sutures. I believe this technique is superior when used by a...

With many of the comments here.
Particularly "The dilemma with a quicklift is that due to its proprietary nature, if you see someone who offers this service, they usually do not perform a full range of facelifting procedures." from Dr Steinsapir.
The Quicklift is just another technique used in facelifting. I use it more often than not but not at the exclusion of all others. As a Quicklift surgeon I am not prevented from offering the full range of facelift surgery to my patients. I...

Standard Facelift vs Quicklift (minifacelift)
. Here are the basic differences between a Standard (also called full or traditional facelift) and a Mini Facelift (such as "Quick Lift", "Lite Lift", "S" lift, MACS lift, etc)
A full or "traditional" facelift addresses the sagging upper and lower neck skin and (platysmal) vertical neck bands, jowls, lower and mid nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It involves incisions from the temple scalp, along the front of the ear (inside the mid part for women), behind the ear...

Gimicky Face Lift
Beware of gimicks trying to take the place of surgical procedures. I frequently see patients who need revisions or see no change 6 months after spending the money on these procedures. I don't understand why they aren't outlawed and considered assault. To make any incision in a person for no other reason than taking money knowing that the result is substandard is a crime.

QuickLift Offers Lasting Results
Unlike a "conventional” traditional facelift which often involves more extensive surgery and pulls more horizontally, the QuickLift is a more abbreviated facelift that addresses the mid to lower portion of the face as well as the upper neck by lifting the face in a more upward vector. The QuickLift lifts the underlying musculature of the lower face the (SMAS). By lifting the mid to lower portion of the face, fullness and volume is restored to the cheeks, the jawline is...

Quick lift, Lyfestyle lift, MACS lift, S Lift vs. SMAS Imbrication
This is a great question. In my opinion, the SMAS Imbrication lift remains the gold standard in face lifting. All lifts are compared against this lift. Essentially the less invasive lifts involve less dissection prior to the lift. As a result, less swelling, bruising, and downtime may be possible. However, some patients may find that the results of these surgeries may not meet all of the patient goals. The best surgical approach is a very individual choice best made after consultation with a...
