Does the Smartlift Facelift Work?

 To give you an idea of my level of confidence in the Smartlift,  consider that I own the rather expensive laser used in the procedure, yet I have never had any desire  to perform a Smartlift.  This is because the best way to get a natural facial rejuvenation result is to perform any one of the variants of the SMAS facelift. These procedures aim to put tissues back where they once belonged,  and offer a natural appearing, long-lasting result. 

You should always be skeptical of procedures with catchy names that promise you the world.  You should concentrate more on finding the right plastic surgeon for you based on experience, reputation, and results.  There is no magic out there, but plenty of slick marketing waiting to capitalize on a naive public as well as the fascination people have with lasers.
