1 hour vertical facelift versus a regular facelift?

User Avatar
SaggiemaggieMay 29, 2016

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.

I would recommend you see a plastic surgeon who specializes in either head and neck reconstruction or craniofacial surgery.  They are the the surgeons who have the most experience in this field.  Specifically, Dr Stephen Beals would be an excellent choice.

It is impossible to give you good advice based on this photo. It appears that neck and lower face lift could be a good option for you. However, without a detailed clinical exam it is not possible to tell you whether full or lower face lift is better. It really doesn't matter how you call it and...
