How much facial rejuvenation can I really hope to achieve in an hour or two before going back to work? Are these so-called "lunchtime" min-lift procedures effective?
Answer: Lunchtime Facelift is Misleading-Avoid
I have been doing Facelifts for almost 30 years and a mini takes at least one hour and the time to prepare you with local anesthesia and prepping and dressing after takes another hour. Unless you have a 2!/2 hour lunch break forget it.
No one who has had an effective-I mean lasting_ mini facelift will want to go back to work afterwards.
Please be realistic and avoid the marketing hype. Don't be one of the sorry ones who believed the lunch time lift, could not go back to work, and ended up with a horrible result.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Better time spent enjoying your lunch Any lift that can be performed in under an hour and with no noticeable swelling is probably just a slap in the face. Any real procedure that provides a significant and long-lasting result will take more time and require some recovery. Our mini-lift takes about 2.5 hours and is performed under local anesthesia in the office. A major portion of time is also dedicated to slowly providing effective anesthesia. We perform a deep plane lift that targets the jowls and upper neck. Patients go home wearing a chin strap with an expectation of a 1 week at-home recovery.

Answer: A surgical procedure will almost always give better, longer lasting results A true mini facelift, at least as performed at my practice, is a surgical procedure requiring downtime. The results are long-lasting and better than what you can get with non-surgical “lunchtime” procedures, however, you will not be able to go straight back to work. If you are looking for minor facial rejuvenation, non-surgical procedures such as Botox, fillers, and laser resurfacing can provide some benefit. However, if you have significant sagging of the skin, a surgical procedure will always give you better and longer-lasting results. I suggest visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a consultation where you can discuss your goals and concerns and come up with a custom treatment plan. I hope this helps.

Answer: Lunchtime lift efficacy When some doctors market lunchtime lifts, they make it seem as though you could really return to the office. This is misleading. If I expect patients to apply ice packs to their faces after Botox or Radiesse, I would certainly expect this after a mini-lift so it wouldn't be wise to return to work. This terminology is meant to make the procedure seem less intimidating. Frankly, a mini-lift is a minimally invasive facelift in and of itself. It is a useful tool in relatively young patients with limited sagging. And no, I would not recommend that anyone return to work the same day. You have to be realistic about this being a procedure and also about the potential results. Ask yourself if you would go back to work after having a root canal or an extraction? Most people would say no. You should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who can suggest appropriate procedures for you.
