Just wondering if anyone has heard of the one stitch facelift, not done using threads but by a small incision being made in front of ear in a half moon type shape and the skin then being pulled and stitched. It's being offered at the hospital group, uk. I watched a video on YouTube of it being performed under local and results looked good, it also only takes 1 hour. Any info or thoughts from anyone would be much appreciated
Answer: Concept Facelift to give the best results Thank you for your question. Most of my patients want a facelift however do not want the downtime associated. The Concept Facelift and Necklift is the procedure I perform, which combines the latest surgical techniques with the use of local anaesthetic to dramatically reduce the risks associated with traditional facelifts, while significantly reducing the bruising and downtime of your recovery, from months to a matter of days. If you have lax facial skin, lost volume and feel that you have jowls and wrinkles on your cheeks and you look tired when you're not then the concept facelift can help improve your appearance. With concept facelift you will look natural and fresh just like the way you feel inside. There are no bandages, drains and hospital stay but with lasting results of traditional facelift techniques it fits with today's age. It also only takes 3 hours to perform and you can leave straight after the procedure. It also has a greater longevity than the one stitch facelift you are enquiring about. What are the benefits of a local anaesthetic facelift? Minimally invasive as it is a short scar faceliftThere is minimal bruising and swelling, especially when compared to traditional faceliftsAs the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, you can go straight home following the procedureFull recovery in a matter of days rather than monthsSignificantly less risk than Facelifts performed under general anaestheticFresh, youthful and long lasting resultsPlease make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve. All The Best

Answer: One Stitch or More? Facelift procedures involve tightening and lifting the SMAS tissue along with REMOVAL of the skin. No procedure without skin removal can be considered as a true facelift. In addition, proper correction of the facial deformities usually requires tightening the SMAS tissue at various levels to effect the midface, lower face and neck. A most effective composite facelift that includes SMAS elevation and tightening would, if done properly, have minimal morbidity and takes 2.5-3 hours in maximum with a short downtime period. If you "need" to have skin removed, you "have to" have it removed!

Answer: One stitch facelift Facelift surgery should be tailored your concerns since the ageing features may be different in every individual and therefore a different approach is always required. When looking for a plastic surgeon I would be wary of surgeons who push their own technique or who promote one technique over the other or one type of anaesthetic over the other . I would also be wary of surgeons who 'brand' their own name for a facelift technique since this is simply a marketing ploy. A good surgeon is one who will provide an honest opinion of what is required to meet your expectations and be able to offer a multitude of techniques and tailor the technique to your particular situation. Every situation is different since every face is unique. Moreover, every face ages in a different way and the problems are different in different age groups. You therefore need to find a surgeon who will provide you with honest, impartial advice in order that you are fully informed about what can be achieved in your situation at the same time as explaining what the limitations might be. The uk is different to other countries since there are cosmetic surgery chains which are commercially run outfits and which employ surgeons on the cheap. Why would an experienced surgeon with a good reputation work on the cheap ? Marketing and hype is the priority to gain business rather than professional advice. A 'one stitch' facelift is marketing hype. I would suggest seeking advice from one of the more senior surgeons on the list of accredited plastic surgeons on the BAAPS register and not be drawn in by the hype of a quick fix.

Answer: A one stitch facelift is a useless procedure. I think you'll be disappointed with this facelift notwithstanding the apparent ease and affordability. Make sure you get several opinions

Answer: If it sounds too good to be true it probably isn't! Over the years there are many gimmicky facelift procedures being touted. Doing a quality facelift requires an appropriate amount of surgery to secure and maintain the results. All these gimmicky procedures are just that, gimmicky. If you want a quality procedure find a quality certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to perform it.
