How much does a Lifestyle Lift cost?

As with any other surgical procedure one needs to research both the procedure and the surgeon.  It may best to contact several patients who are at least 6 months after their lift to see if the procedure was effective.

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 facelift center. 

A well-trained facial plastic surgeon can tailor a facelift to fit the individual patient and deliver results whether it is a limited incision lift or a deep-plane facelift. As with any cosmetic surgery choose your surgeon wisely and look for someone who has a whole arsenal of tools. "If the only tool you have in your toolbox is a hammer, then every problem must be a nail."

I would caution you to avoid surgical procedures with a "one size fits all" techniques. A facelift procedure, whether is is a "mini" or traditional lift requires years of training and experience. There is a reason why you will be hard pressed to find ANY board certified plastic surgeons performing the "lifestyle lift". Every surgery should be individualized to meet the specific needs of each patient. When a surgeon is fully trained, he/she can design your best plan, and not use the same procedure for each patient. Also, your surgeon would be able to address and fix any possible complications that may arise. As far as cost, you do get what you pay for. Be diligent and check the credentials of the physician who is performing surgery on your face. 

As in most things in life, you usually get what you pay for.

Good facial rejuvination takes more than a lift and is truly as customized as a nasal surgery.

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.
