HI doctors, Is a vertical facelift possible. Meaning, can i get the same result from pulling my skin up from the temple? what are the risk? how long does it last?
Answer: Is Vertical Facelift Possible? Vertical Facelift Looks Unnatural, Can’t Correct Most Changes of Aging A vertical lift would be an incomplete and unsatisfactory procedure. You cannot trim excess skin, and the SMAS is left in place, which means it will be pulling downward on the uplifted skin. Don’t try to figure out on your own what can be done to correct the sagging and drooping you’re seeing in your face. Start consulting with facial plastic surgeons in your area. If you’re not ready for a full rhytidectomy (facelift), there are many other options. I hope this helps.

Answer: Vertical facelift The SMAS tissue is usually pulled vertically in a facelift. The skin is pulled more obliquely to efface the nasolabial folds. If the skin is pulled vertically, the skin cannot be adequately excised along the hairline and you would get a dog ear.

Answer: Facelift Incisions An incision that is totally in the temporal region is generally used for lifting the lateral part of the brow or forehead. In my opinion, one cannot get any demonstrable improvement in the mid and lower part of the face with a temporal incision alone.

Answer: Vertical Facelift and Pulling the Skin at Temples A few years back much hay was made about the "vertical vector" in facelifting. This was referring to the vector of pull on the SMAS and underneath structures and not the skin.You can certainly lift the temple area by tightening the skin is this area but that's about all it does-lift the temple an maybe the lateral brow. If one is trying to rejuvenate the mid-face, jaw, neck or brow, make another choice. I think the truly vertical vector facelift ended with the mid-face lift through the lower eyelid incision; otherwise known as the vertical cheek lift. Facelifting terminology is confusing at best, and for the most part inaccurate. Operations do not rejuvenate faces, plastic surgeons do.
