What is a Weekend Facelift?

Weekend Facelifts are small tweaks - like excising a small amount of skin in front of the ear to get a small, but nice tightening - and a quick recovery.  The result will likely last a good 6 months, the best results are to reposition the underlying structures of the face and redrape the skin over it.  
If you only have a weekend to recover - it will not hurt anything but your pocketbookl

Thank you for your question. Weekend facelifts are good for short term results however having an actual Facelift where the SMAS muscle is tightened will give you greater longevity and is better in terms of money as although it is more expensive it will not require you to have more procedures in the short term, unlike the weekend facelift

Unfortunately there are many, many different names for face lifting techniques that area all essentially very similar and are mostly marketing gimmicks. A weekend lift may in actuality be very similar or identical to a quick lift, a mini-lift, or other various names. Do not let the branding of a certain procedure fool you. Find a surgeon that you trust and have a good relationship with and ask him or her about the various techniques that they have to offer and what would be right for you.
Also, do not get too wrapped up in cost. Budget is a concern for many patients, and there are many ways to work around this, but do not let your budget talk you into wasting money on a procedure that doesn't work - this is a recipe for disaster. Many patients will end up spending much more money on non-surgical treatments or less invasive treatments than they would have spent on one surgical procedure only to be disappointed and feeling like they wasted their money in the long run.
All the best,
