how long does the one stitch face lift last? are there any problems associated with this procedure?

A properly executed facelift lasts a lifetime. Seldom do patients need to have this operation repeated. I would get several opinions before signing up for a one stitch facelift.

Type of facial rejuvenation procedure is an outpatient procedure which attempts to gather and lift the face through a small incision in the sideburn area.  It can be useful for very minimal improvements and it requires little downtime.  However if you have significant laxity, jowling of the jawline, sagging neck skin, then this approach is limited in its success.  

Haven't heard of this surgery, but any facelift with only one stitch will involve minimal dissection and minimal results.  I am assuming that this always means a cost savings.  Save your money and when ready do the real thing .

There is a wide variety of procedures for facial aging. The right procedure depends upon the degree of aging that has occurred. I am not familiar with a one stitch facelift but minimally invasive lifts are typically most appropriate for people with minimal aging along the jawline and a nice, taut neckline. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hello 'davies60', thanks for your question.  Although I am not familiar with this 'one-stitch facelift' technique, it sounds like another bogus surgery provided by self-proclaimed cosmetic doctors who are not board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  There are many gimmicks out there designed to trick the unsuspecting public and take their money.  Anything 'one-stitch' will probably not last longer than a day.  I would warn you to not get tricked into sham surgeries like this and to trust your face only to a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).  I encourage you to do your homework and check the credentials of every surgeon who you meet.  Good luck!-Dr.92660
