These are essentially a marketing promotion technique. For instance I market the LoopLift because I am located in the Chicago Loop district. I tailor the lift to each specific patient which is how it should be. The mini part just dictates the tissues layers involved. The more aging, skin, muscle and soft tissue sagging you have the more extensive the surgery needs to be. At the same time it is all about the patients. Some people only are really looking to get the jowl area treated. For that a minilift is adequate typically. If you also don't like your neck then a necklift is added to the minilift.Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC
"Quicklift" was a branded marketing tool to sell lower jawline lifts. Performed correctly, the quicklift is a SMAS mini jawline lift whose goal is to sharpen the jawline and remove jowling. A quality lower facelift (jawline lift) should have muscle tightening as part of the procedure, and thus it should last approximately 7-10 years. From a technical standpoint (similar to a "Lifestyle Lift") a Quicklift should be a reasonable solution for lower face rejuvenation.
Although you have not submitted any pictures, based on your age, it's likely that you would need a lower facelift also addressing the neck. Any type of mini procedure may not be enough for you. But I can't tell without pictures.
A Quick Lift is a "branded" name for a particular type of mini facelift. Today, there are many companies who have used branded names to market their version of the mini facelift. A mini facelift is a procedure which typically addresses early signs of facial and neck aging. It is a procedure which can many times be performed under local anesthesia with some mild sedation, depending on a patient's medical history. The "name" of the procedure is not important, but what is most important is the skill of the surgeon. I suggest you find a surgeon who specializes in facial cosmetic surgery, specifically facelift surgery. Review their credentials and their before/after photos to see if you like the results they have achieved for patients displaying similar signs of aging. Good Luck!
Hello, and thank you for your question. A QuickLift refers to a facelift procedure that focuses on the mid and lower face unlike a full facelift which rejuvenates both the lower and upper facial areas. A full facelift treats the SMAS, the muscular and connective tissue supporting which supports your face, while a quick lift focuses on the muscular support structures of your facial tissues alone. (A quick lift is sometimes referred to as a MACS facelift.) Both procedures, however, can give you long-lasting results which can in many cases last seven to 10 years. Whatever your age, talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your individual needs in an in-person consultation. This will determine if a full facelift, QuickLift or QuickLift in combination with another procedure will give you the long-lasting rejuvenation you want. I wish you good health.- Daniel Lensink, MD
