Lifestyle Lift: Definitely Not for Everyone

Who should consider Lifestyle Lift? As of today, 73% of Lifestyle Lift patients reporting on this website (199 reviews) are unhappy. If this was the situation in my practice, I would have to close my doors. So my advice to anyone considering this procedure is please do your research. The marketing for Lifestyle Lift is very overblown and does not tell the whole story. Many of the results shown appear to have been multi-hour procedures and are not results that your average Lifestyle... more

Who should have minilifts lifestyle etc?

In my opinion, no one should consider any variety of amini-lift. If a facelift is indicated, the most important part of the lift is the change of the SMAS, the deep structure of the face. Any mini-lift will either inappropriately address the SMAS or ignore it completely. The result is either not noticible or even more likely bizarre and unnatural. Stay away from these procedures. Look at comments and see how many practitioners that are truly trained in plastic... more

The LSL is good at correcting laxity in the neck and lower third of the face. Those with more residual elasticity and less excess laxity in the skin make for better LSL candidates. An exam and consultation with your plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your candidacy and set realistic expectations.

A good candidate is someone who is motivated

Overall I think a good candidate for Lifestyle Lift is an individual who is motivated; motivated simply to make a positive difference in their appearance. Through the ravages of time, simply as we get older things change; we don’t look as good and refreshed and youthful as we did in our 20s and early 30s. Lifestyle Lift specifically addresses the major concerns, which is the lower part of the face, the jowls, the laugh lines, the marionette lines, the sagging, the fullness, the... more
