What is the Typical Recovery Time of SLUPlift Procedure?

Healing time for branded minilift - may the buyer beware

You are referring to a branded minilift. Its proponents advertise a 60 minute facelift. There are many other branded procedures out there. I know, I have mine too! In and of themselves, branded procedures are meaningless. Patients should be very critical when contemplating surgery. A branded procedure only means a doctor has trademarked the procedure.

Branded mini facelifts

The most important question re a branded mini lift is not what is the recovery but will it give me the results I want. I am not an advocate for any of these but I suppose if you had the most minimal signs of aging, there might be a reasonable change obtained. But the more laxity you have especially in the neck, the less these work. Even in a full cheek and neck lift in my practice, there is only a 2 week recovery to a normal look in 90+% of the patients.

Buyer Beware

SLUPlift, Lifestyle lift, Quicklift, Contour thread lift: all examples of branded facial plastic surgical techniques. All promising amazing results, virtually no downtime, results immediately. None of these procedures offer any advantages over currently available techniques and are certainly not considered advances in therapy. So the answer to the question is: expect a downtime of 10 days to 2 weeks. My advice: please so your research.
