Vertical face lift
Most face lifts performed should have a vector of pull that is more vertical than horizontal - so there is really nothing novel or unique about a vertical face lift
Below is an example of a vertical lift

Vertical facelifts.
Facelifts have gone through some dramatic changes in the last decade or two. Years ago a typical facelift pulled the skin backward with only a small degree of elevation. Today a facelift should be more directed in a vertical fashion, which gives a more natural look. This concept will improve the neck, face and eyes in a much more balanced way. Your surgeon will talk more about this in the future.

Vertical Direction more Natural and Longer Lasting in a Facelift
Dear t.kathy02-
In general, plastic surgeons will want to redirect your tissues in a direction, or vector, to achieve the most youthful and rejuvenating result. In the past, this direction was towards the side. With more modern techniques, this direction is definitely more vertical- more up, as opposed to the side.
Every facelift is individualized, but in general, to get the most natural result, the SMAS and the skin are repositioned in an upward...

Vertical facelift
There is no standard facelift that fits all patients. Anyone saying that the vertical lift the answer is pure marketing gimmick. The vectors of lift must be individualized along with other ancillary procedures that may be needed. In general in a multiplane lift some of the layers may be vectored posterosuperiorly while others more vertically. The key is to get a natural look that may vary from patient to patient. Get several opinions.

Vertical FaceLift
Vertical face lift mean different things to different surgeons. It is difficult to answer this questions without photos or an exam. The word "vertical" refers to the vector in which the facial skin and fascia are elevated. Most of my Facelift patients receive a "short scar" vertical Facelift. However if the patient has a large neck which needs to be raised and tightened then the short scar technique does not always work. Don't get tied...

Is a vertical facelift right for you?
There are many different types of facelift procedures. Some are simple while others are more complex. The goal of any facelift should be to leave the patient with a "balanced" youthful and rested appearance. Unfortunately "balanced" is a highly marketed catch word and may mean different things to different people. A "vertical" lift describes a direction of pull. It usually describes the direction of pull of the intermediate layers of tissue beneath the skin,...

Longevity and Natural Appearance after Facelift
The direction of vectors of movement of muscle and skin are individualized for each patient depending on their particular needs. While a long lasting natural result is the goal of all cosmetic surgery, one technique is not better than another in all patients.

Will a vertical face Lift make the face appear more youthful?
I have performed Face Lifts for over 20 years and the most important factor making the face appear more youthful after a Face Lift is the creation of the proper aesthetic shape to the midface. Period! The vector of pull, the layer of pull and the amount of tissue pull are all far less important, IMHO. If the face has an aesthetically attractive and naturally beautiful shape when the Face Lift is done...it's a winner, if not..it can be downright scarry looking...

The power and natural look of the Short-Scar Vertical Facelift
The Short Scar Vertical Facelift was introduced over ten years ago by Drs. Tonnard and Verpaele from Belgium. Their experience with this technique has shown that it provides a very natural and lasting facelift for most people. The advantages of a Short Scar Vertical Facelift include a very natural and less distorted look to the face because the tension or vectors of the lift are purely vertical, almost as if you look in the mirror and lift your face with your fingers. The traditional...
