Lifestyle Lift for Correcting Previous Facelift?

I agree with other posts that it is normal to require a revision 10 years after a facelift. If you undergo a lifestyle lift, you may put yourself at a higher risk of being dissatisfied and requiring a tertiary procedure within a year.  Be careful and please read the opinions on this website.

After 10 years and with review of your pictures, you need an updated lift which includes closing the platysma in your neck and suspending your jowls. Today's lifts are far better than 10 years ago when done by someone who has added the newer styles of lifts. See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who practice in his own office and under his own name. You want a "one off" and not a litho.

Ten years after a face lift I would expect to see signs of aging. A lifestyle lift is a procedure designed to improve the neck line and the jowles, It is not a regular facelift and has limitations. The reason it is called a lifestyle lift is because with the way it is done it "does not interfere with your lifestyle," being that it is done under local anesthesia with some oral sedation and a limited dissection in order to limit the bruising and swelling that comes with a regular... more

A recent NY Times article addressed this procedure, and most people were not satisfied. In my area, the Lifestyle Lifts have not been performed with any degree of competence, and I've seen scarring and overall poor results. You should not be fooled by infomercials that brand this operation as the best option for facial rejuvenation. From what I've seen, you should proceed with caution, or avoid it completely. You should consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon... more

Hi! See the link below to a New York Times article that dicusses the Lifestyle lift. I think it is a gimmick.  In general, avoid procedures with trademarks or catchy names.

Please read the countless unhappy stories on line about the LS lift and dispense with this as an option. The main thing you need to address is in your neck where you have prominent widely spaced platysma bands. This would not be corrected by a LS lift at all and you would be left looking about the same as you do now. Find the best Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your region and go in for a consulattion if your previous doctor isn't the one you want to go back to.

If you want a long lasting result, I wold go with a traditional lift and not a lifestyle lift. Also go with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.

Be very careful choosing a procedure with a catchy name, great advertising and low prices. You may not even need a Facelift. Perhaps a neck lift with some laser resurfacing and fillers? See a great surgeon in your area that can address your concerns not sell you a procedure or product.

Dear Moodyred Facelifts last about this long. When someone such as yourself has had a positive improvement from the original facelift, it is not unusual to what to refresh this improvement with a revisional facelift. However, I agree with my colleagues, the Lifestyle Lift results have not been so impressive. Inherently, there is nothing wrong with the surgical concept behind this proprietary procedure. However, every facelift needs to be precisely tailored to each individual patient. When... more
