I am considering a facelift and necklift. I have been researching various local cosmetic surgery options. I live in Houston. I noticed that a one hour vertical facelift is advertised as giving the same results as a traditional facelift. This will really appealing to me. Is it to good to be true? I am 54 and my skin is in really good shape due to staying out of the sun.

Answer: Think About the Result You Would Like to Have The best way to approach this problem is by conceptualizing what kind of result you would like to have. If you have aging indications that a facelift would address, the correct procedure to have is a facelift performed by a Surgeon who has a busy facelift practice. One hour isn't enough time to accomplish all of the goals for a facelift and instead places emphasis on time over quality. You won't care if your procedure took one hour or four hours next year, but you will care about your result. Fancy marketing terms are usually a recipe for patient dissatisfaction.

Answer: 1 hour vertical facelift vs regular facelift. Marketing can make anything sound great but reality dictates that if there was a facelift technique that corrected volume loss in the midface, jowling, platsyma laxity, neck and facial skin laxity, all in 1 hour and the results were reliable, predictable and long lasting, then every plastic surgeon would do it. There is a reason only certain people advertise doing this and it is NOT that they are the only people who have been able to figure out how to do it. A small amount of skin tightening may be done in 1 hour but not the muscle tightening and SMAS elevation required for full facial rejuvenation. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a in depth consultation of what would give you the best long term result.
