The Quicklift is a variation of Slift and MACS lift. Because it involves lifting the SMAS, the longevity is about the same as othe SMAS lifts. Face sould age the same but the clock is turned back a bit, so to speak. Complications are the same as with othe facial rejuvenating procedures: bleeding, infection, nerve injury, scarring and so forth. Bacuse the SMAS is not cut though, the risks of nerve injury is lower. Skin healing is more dependent on individial skin quality, skin tension and sutures used, not necessary on method of deep suture placement. There are no "specific" long term effects of the Quicklift other then with other mini-facelift procedures.
