What is a "Concept" facelift?

The term concept facelift is a marketing term for a short scar facelift.  Traditional facelifts involve tightening the deeper tissues(SMAS) in a vertical plane, followed by skin resection.  Many terms have been used to describe facelifts, such as concept, short scar, lunchtime lift, etc... My recommendation is to visit a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss what type of facelift is best for you.

A concept face lift is a name someone put on a face lift, which is not new. New names for the same old procedures pop up regularly. Time has proven that face lifts must be individualized, and short cuts don't work as well and don't last as long.My suggestion is to consult a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and preferably a member of the American Society of Plastic surgery for the most experienced PS for your face lift, and you stand the best chance of getting a face lift that looks natural and simply turns back the clock without the wind tunnel look, and without scars that are conspicuous, which should by your goal. Face lifts must be individualized as they are all different and the aging process if different as well.Do your do diligence before you choose who does your face lift.I hope this has helped you. Thank you for your interesting question, and good luck. 

Thank you for your question!  The term "Concept" facelift is simply a marketing term that has been attached to a standard facelift procedure.  It looks to be a short-incision facelift with this name attached.  It does not appear that there is anything 'special' necessarily the procedure called a 'Concept' facelift.  I would suggest you seek out a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in facelifts.  You will be able to have a full evaluation to determine which procedure is best for you.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
