How Long Does a Lifestyle Lift Last?

No one really knows what a lifestyle lift really is, and therefore no one can really tell you how long it will last. Different surgeons in different locations perform different techniques. I don't want to sound too sarcastic, but it's kind of like saying, "What type of haircut will I get at Supercuts?"

You will always look younger having a facelift, lifestyle lift, short scar lift, mini lift, etc. for the rest our your life. Typically, these lower facelift and its variants will last 5-10 years depending on the individual patients age and skin quality and surgical technique used before requiring additional surgical lifting if desired. No lift will last forever but some techniques will give a longer lasting effect. There is no one proprietary standard "lifestyle lift" technique just as there is not one standard type of lower facelift. So it is difficult to say exactly how long it lasts. Every surgeon also will have a unique way he performs a lift according to individual patient's needs and budget and time for recovery. Speak with your surgeon regarding how long their lift will typically last, revision rates, and patient satisfaction.  Also ask how many and how often the surgeon performs a facelift. The average plastic surgeon may only perform a facelift twice a month. Facelift experts will perform facelifts 3 or more times a week. One last note, look for the skill and experience of the surgeon more so than a specific branded lift or technique. 

I can speak from my experience as a former plastic surgeon at the Ontario CA office.  My techniques used were individualized to each patient and were identical to the techniques described for traditional face and neck surgery.  The results and longevity were also equivalent.
