Add to your Lifestyle Lift cost any revision surgery you require
Our practice specializes in revision facelifts. Revision facelifts are our most common procedure. I have seen a number of LifeStyle lift patients.
Their scarring was considerable and in some cases the location of incisions inexplicable. They had the same scars as they would have had from a full facelift, but only a little skin had been undermined. The results were subpar to say the least.
The cost to revise the work was greater than it would have been had they come here initially. ...

You Get What You Pay For....Or Not!
As the popularity of cosmetic surgery has grown, so has the competition to attract more patients. This has created price competition as well as a thriving market in medical tourism. The expanded awareness has also spurred creativity in the marketing of "new" procedures designed to fill a certain price-point, which also can be marketed as "less-invasive" or "faster recovery" in order to appeal to patients who might be testing the waters of cosmetic surgery for...

Lifestyle Lift is a gimmick at any price.
Hi! In general, it is best to avoid operations with a brand name or a catchy title. In real scientific medicine, there are no secrets.
Here's what to do: Go to a board certified plastic surgeon, and ask her or him what can be done for you with minimally invasive surgery. And ask to see a lot of before and after pictures. Then get another opinion.
I don't know any reputable surgeon who does the Lifestyle Lift. So you can draw your own conclusions.

The most improtant question about the Lifestyle Lift is...
The most improtant question about the Lifestyle Lift is not the cost but whether or not it will give you the result you want and whether it will last as long as you are hoping.
It is a kind of "mini" facelift and because of that it usually cannot deliver as dramatic an improvement or one that lasts as long as a properly performed cheek and neck lift. This is especially true if you have a lot of loose skin and/or fat in the front of your neck, below your chin. The results of a...

Price isn't the concern for Lifestyle Lift!
The Lifestyle Lift is nothing more than a limited incision facelift. The term Lifestyle lift has been trademarked by a coporation that has placed centers around the U.S. and hired surgeons (some of them very qualified) to perform the lift. In some cases, you might be a good candidate for a Lifestyle lift, but the problem is that you may not receive the appropriate procedure for your particular problem or the necessary pre and post-operative care you deserve by going to a mass marketed...

Lifestyle Lift is a "proprietary" procedure
To my knowledge, the Lifestyle Lift is a "proprietary" procedure, which is to say that this company holds their procedure as a "trade secret."
The American Medical Association has come out against holding any medical procedure as proprietary and believes that this goes against the nature of the medical profession. I concur.
A Latin phrase comes to mind here, "caveat emptor," which translates to "buyer beware." This is a corporate practice of medicine,...

LIFESTYLE LIFT cost: Caution - revisions plus "little extras"
In addition to the comments by my colleagues regarding costs of revisionary surgical procedures, also be aware about the "extras"
CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! BUYER BEWARE!
Commonly, the Lifestyle lift addresses the jawline. If you read their website carefully, and I am quoting from the DISCLAIMER page of their website:

Cost of a Facelift
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...

Calculating the true cost of Lifestyle Lift
To calculate the true cost of a lifestyle lift, add the cost of a second revision operation by a board certified plastic surgeon.
Next, add the cost of dissatisfaction and the embarrassment of facial distortion until you can get the problems fixed.

Great facelift result comes from the surgeon
The concept of performing facelifts or mini facelifts under local anesthesia is not new. What is new is the mass marketing campaigns and the time constraints placed on performing a facelift. Every surgeon has their own operative tempo, and some can successfully perform a facelift in a short period of time. However, what I have seen in my practice is a number of poorly performed facelift that truly looked "rushed".
The craftsmanship and attention to detail in many cases was poor....
