One stitch facelift not using threads?

Too aggressive, that is absolutely an outdated butchery... nowadays you can enjoy a much less invasive lifting, no need for knife, plasties, anchors, threads... not even one single stitch... is the "think it deep lift", this works as follows: you pay XXXXXX USD / GBP / EUR / XXX CURRENCY to the surgeon, in general a large sum of money, actually it is the most expensive facelift nowadays (you know... innovations have a cost, if you want the best you pay the most, and so on...), and after being ripp... errr... charged the fees a sorcerer shaman dressed in a blue sari under a red cloak fitted with golden rivets meets you in a dark room lit under blue beams, surrounded by the sticky smell of burning incense and the chakras of mantra music... who teaches you the principles of sophrology and self-approach to your soul... in order to help you take over control on your DNA and tissues, inducing a repairing process on your face and neck with awesome rebirthing effects on your look.
Compared with the former I can't understand how still such invasive and primitive bloody procedures are still carried out... one stitch!... how come!!!You'll also find suitable videos on YouTube.

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!

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.  

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 

I think you'll be disappointed with this facelift notwithstanding the apparent ease and affordability. Make sure you get several opinions

 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. 

My guess is that you will ultimately be disappointed with the results from this kind of lift. Yes, it looks easy, but I don't think it will deliver enough return on your investment. I would suggest that you seek a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon. 

The procedure that you refer to is obviously a very limited procedure. It can lift the cheek skin and the jowls to a limited degree. It does not address the skin of the neck or below the chin. It is a rule of thumb, Limited Surgery equals Limited Results. Every patient is different and has different needs. Be sure to consult with a surgeon who has every modality available.  If you have multiple options available, the best solution can be reached for every individual patient and you can get the best value. We all want "the biggest bang for the buck"  Consult with a specialist who can get you the result that you desire. Be sure to get all of the facts before you make a decision.John Standefer MD

 Hi, I have performed many facelifts for over 30 years and have performed many minimally, invasive type proper SMAS facelifts.  There are many "heavily hyped and marketed" limited versions of facelifts so it's important to understand what a "proper" SMAS facelift should and will "not" do.  First let me say that non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation.
 Following my facial beauty principles that I have developed over 30 years, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces.  Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front.  Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face.
 If your face has "jowls” these are sagging facial tissues and an indication for some form of a proper SMAS facelift.  The underlying SMAS layer, of the face, must be dissected, lifted, trimmed and re-sutured (not merely folded or suspended with threads or sutures that will not last).  Similarly, the SMAS can't be properly dissected, elevated, excess trimmed and re-sutured together using a "single" suture.  This in my opinion is referencing an older type of "suture suspension" technique using an "O" or "U" suture that plicates and suspends the tissues below the skin.  These types of suspension techniques are not nearly as effective nor will they provide the same lasting results as an open proper SMAS "imbrication" technique as I have described it above.  Once the SMAS has been properly "imbricated", the excess skin is then removed and the facelift incisions closed.
  For over 15 years now, my most popular facelift is the minimally invasive, short incision SMAS facelift (proper SMAS imbrication technique) that has all the benefits of more invasive facelifts (traditional, mid-face, deep plane, cheek lift and subperiosteal facelifts) but with these added benefits:
very small incisions and no incisions extend or are placed within the hair.
minimal tissue dissection = less bruising and swelling = rapid recovery ( several days instead of weeks or months with the more invasive type facelifts mentioned)
can be performed in 90 minutes or less, with or without general anesthesia
no incisions within the hair = no hair loss
excess fat can be removed from the face and neck
excess skin removed from the face and neck
cheeks, chin and jaw line can be augmented with dermal fillers (I prefer Restylane Lyft) or facial implants
most patients fly back home to parts all over the world in as little as 3 days post-op
  Since not type of facelift can by itself achieve the ideally shaped cheeks, I combine facial shaping with every facelift procedure.  When jowls are present, this should be done in concert and not alone or separately in order to create a naturally, more attractive face.
Hope this helps.
