How long does a one stitch facelift last?

Thank you for your question. These minimally invasive techniques are best suited to patients with mild aging changes. Moderate to severe aging changes would more likely benefit from a more traditional facelift. I would recommend consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to discuss what option is best for you."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."

This type of procedure is not the standard way to address facial aging.I would obtain several consultations to discuss this approach in your particular case. I recommend seeing your local board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon to discuss further.

To get a symmetrical and natural result, you really need 2 stitches, one on each side of the face, rather than just one stitch on one side. Those surgeons who only use one stitch are just trying to save time and money by only having to buy one stitch instead of two for the procedure.Sorry. I just can't give a serious answer to the concept of minimalist facelifts. If you want a quick, inexpensive procedure that you heal (really) fast from, I would suggest that you use two pieces of adhesive tape connected to an elastic band that goes around the back of your head before you try this "one stitch" procedure. The tape will probably produce a better-looking result, will last a lot longer, there's little to no physical risk with tape, it costs probably a couple of thousand dollars less than this "one stitch" thing, and if you don't like the results, it's quickly reversible.
