What are the long term side effects of a Quicklift? How long do they last? Will my face age normally after the surgery?
Answer: QuickLift The QuickLift is still considered a surgical procedure, therefore has similar risk as other cosmetic procedures. It is best to consult with a provider that performs the surgery to ensure that you are healthy enough to undergo a cosmetic surgical procedure. The QuickLift will address the lower face and neck and the goal is to naturally make you look more youthful. We often get asked the question how long does a lift last. The answer is there is no definite expiration. This procedure is not like a filler that goes away over time. With a surgical procedure we are pushing back time and you will slowly age the same way you have over the years. If you do maintenance you can slow down the rate at which you age moving forward.

Answer: **** lift These are all different alterations of a facelift. The goal of quick/mini/limited lift is to try and give modest results with minimal downtime. The results will vary by what is done exactly in the surgery. Ask your surgeon why they call it a "quick" lift. They can give your their take on tecniques. Your face will age normally afterwards. The altered lift techniques typically last few years than a formal facelift (10-15 yrs). That is because a bit less tissue work is done. Layers don't go quite as deep etc. Its comparable to sanding and refinishing a wood floor instead of removing and replacing with brand new flooring. The former makes a difference but is not quite as fresh and sturdy as a brand new nice floor. Hope this helps. Best of luck, DrC

Answer: Quicklift outcome
The long term side effects of the Quicklift are the same for all facelifting procedure, it is essentially just name given to a type of SMAS plication lift. Your face will continue ageing but on average (and depending on your skin laxity now) you can expect at least 5-10 years resetting the clock, The clock will still tick on though!

Answer: Mini facelifts: Quicklift, LiteLift, MACS, LifeStyle lift - will they last
Mini Facelifts such as the Quicklift, Lite Lift, MACS, LifeStyle lift and others are all modified facelifts that share certain characteristics such as being less invasive, less scarring by less incisions, lifting the underlying supporting structures (e.g. SMAS) and can often be performed without general anesthesia. What is most important is the skill of the surgeon which is a combination of years of experience, and best training (being board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and/or a facial plastic surgical boards is a start). I have found in the more than 25 yrs of practicing surgery that Great surgeons tend to have great results regardless of their techniques. That being said mini-facelifts such as the Quick Lift or Lite Lift are long lasting and are best suited for redefining the jawline and upper neck.. Lower neck redundancy may be best treated with a neck lift or traditional face lift. Although the hands of time are turned back the clock keeps ticking re: how long it will last. Certain techniques such as the MACS or Lite Lift use a pure vertical lift which is "anti-gravity" in its approach so you will look natural afterwards and not have the "wind tunnel" or "swept away " appearance.
