By Stephen Prendiville, MD - Ft. Myers Facial Plastic Surgeon

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.

Revision facelifts are more difficult than primary facelifts. Sometimes, much more difficult. Why is a revision facelift more difficult than a primary facelift?

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.

A: Traditional facelift

By Charles Perry, MD - Sacramento 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.

A: Lifestyle lift is a gimmick.

By George J. Beraka, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

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.

A: You need another facelift, not a Lifestyle Lift

By Richard P. Rand, MD - Seattle Plastic Surgeon

Please read the countless unhappy stories on line about the LS lift and dispense with this as an option.

This would not be corrected by a LS lift at all and you would be left looking about the... more
