It is probably a mini lift procedure. However, sometimes less is less especially in facelift surgeries. Minimal lifts may have a nice effect in the short term but over the course of a year show little longterm improvement. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question.The "Lite Lift" is a trademarked term used for marketing purposes by a practice in California. It appears to be a variant of a short scar facelift. It's not important what a procedure is called. What matters is the surgeon who is performing the procedure, and doing the appropriate procedure on a patient based on their initial presentation and what goals they are trying to achieve. I would focus on the doctor and the before/after photos, and not the actual names of procedures offered. I hope that's helpful.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

Mini lifts tend to give mini results, therefore we rarely ever performed them. In our practice, we perform a high-SMAS face and neck lift for a comprehensive facial and neck rejuvenation. Shop quality, not price since this is your face. For many before and after examples, please see the link and the video below

Hello and thank you for your question. This is a marketing term for a short scar facelift. I highly recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon with a good reputation in consultation rather than simply following a marketing term to an unknown physician. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
