What’s the difference in a quick lift and a mini facelift?

To answer your question, what's the difference.... NOTHING!The american academy of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (AAFPRS) Just conducted a survey of all it's members asking your exact question. Conclusion: There is no general consensus. It's different office to office or region to region. In general, the mini lift doesn't address the neck. This decreases the recovery as the neck area isn't operated on. There are incisions around the ear and the tissue under the skin is repositioned. Hope this helps and God Bless!Dr. Robb Jr. 

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​ Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Unfortunately, there is a lot of confusion regarding the different types of facelifts. Some of this confusion is caused by plastic surgeons themselves, as we are not consistent in our terminology. Nevertheless, a facelift implies a procedure where the skin and underlying support tissue (the SMAS) is elevated and redraped. Perhaps the gold standard in facelifting procedures is the high SMAS procedure, a technique that is safe and effective at rejeuvenating the face. It also has a reputation of having a prolonged recovery, and attempts have been made minimize the incision and scope of the procedure. Minilifts of various sorts are minimal incision lifts and go by many names. Quicklift is a trademarked procedure that addresses the lower face, jawline and neck and is marketed through participating practices. Most surgeons offer a comparable procedure. Because of the confusing terminology, make sure you know what type and extent of facelift surgery your surgeon plans to perform.
