How Long Does a Lifestyle Lift Last?

 That's a good question to ask a lifestyle lift sales associate or doctor. Mini lifts tend to not last as long as a comprehensive lower face and neck lift.  In our practice, we perform a comprehensive lower face and neck lift which addresses tightening the neck muscles in 3 locations, removal of fat above and below the platysma muscle in the neck, tightening this SMAS and jowls and tightening the inelastic facial and neck skin. Our goal is to rejuvenate the face, so patient's don't look like they had a facelift, but they just look better. For many examples, please see the link below to our comprehensive face lift photo gallery

The lifestyle lift is a trademark rather than an actual procedure. It generally refers to a lower facelift and neck lift. There is nothing revolutionary about the procedure. It is typically performed using what is referred to as a SMAS imbrication or plication technique. These are terms that refer to the technique used to anchor the muscle in the face and neck underneath the skin.

If a fundamentally sound SMAS anchoring technique if performed, then the longevity of the results should be seven years or even more, depending on the patient.

I would advise that you do at least three consultations with qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeons who will take the time to taylor the procedure to your specific needs. Most private practice surgeons will provide a much more personal experience with better results than you could expect at a place like lifestyle lift. Good Luck!
