What Are Good Alternatives to a Lifestyle Lift?

 In our office, we perform a comprehensive lower face and neck lift which her gives the face a natural look. To accomplish this, the neck muscles are tightened in 3 locations, facial muscles are tightened(SMAS), the jowls are lifted, fatty deposits in the neck are removed, and the inelastic skin in the face and the neck is tightened. For many examples, please see the link below to our comprehensive facelift photo gallery

There are a number of short-scar, minimally invasive facelift procedures that have been described. some are even trademarked. The lifestyle lift is not a revolutionary procedure, it is a lower third facelift and neck lift designed to address jowling and laxity of skin in the neck.

I would be cautious regarding any type of "mini" lift as mini lifts usually result in mini results. It is important that you choose a procedure that will effectively address the areas of aging in your face and neck and will give you lasting results. Frequently, patients who choose a "mini" procedure will be unsatisfied with the results and regret not being more aggressive in their initial procedure.

I would find a qualified and experienced surgeon who will give you a detailed analysis of your face and present you with the most effective options. It may result in a little higher cost and more down time but, in the end, you will not regret it. Good Luck!
