Quicklift vs LifeStyle Lift, vs other mini facelifts

In my opinion it is the skill and quality of the doctors work that is most important rather than the catchy name of the procedure.. These two attributes are from extensive training as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon who has spent a major portion of his/her career specializing in facial aesthetic procedures.Having a decade or more experience in a busy practice is also helpful to hone the surgeons skill level. I found a New York Times article... more
