A person’s age is best guessed by the appearance of their face. If you feel that your face does not reflect how young you feel inside, you may be a candidate for a facelift. During your #consultation, your skin texture and elasticity, as well as your underlying skin structure and your facial bone structure will be evaluated. Based on this evaluation, your board certified plastic surgeons will create a custom surgical plan, detailing specific techniques and recommendations to meet your goals. In doing so, he or she should be sure to have a full understanding of what results you expect. If you are not a #candidate, your surgeon can make other suggestions to address your concerns and objectives.Patients who desire facial rejuvenation that is affordable, quick, and effective should consider the Lite-lift™. Like the Life-Style™ facelift, this is a modified facelift, individualized for each patient, that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques that are discussed below. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are non-smoking patients 35-60 years old with early changes of the lower face and the neck. But whose skin has elasticity with well defined bone structure. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or general anesthetic can be improved with a Lite Lift™.The contributing factors to the cost of a facelift include the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, medication cost and the anesthesia fee. Estimated fees may also be found here on Real Self, and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org.

Thank you for your question. There are many types of facelifts including the S-lift, Weekend Necklift, Direct Necklift, SMAS lift, deep plan lift and so forth. At this juncture, the point is to broadly consider facelift surgery as a procedure that rejuvenates the lower two thirds of the face and neck. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. The in-person consultation will give you the best diagnosis for the procedure that fits with you. Best wishes,
It is my impression that the "Nefertiti Lift"is injection of Botox into the platysma and the lower face to try and achieve a lifting effect. It is also my impression that there are better ways to spend your money on creating this effect that will last much longer. The treatment algorithm to consider is Ultherapy on the minimally invasive side or a surgical lift on the more invasive side.
Hello and thank you for your question. It depends on your skin laxity. With poor skin elasticity, a necklift will be best. If you have good skin elasticity, then submental liposuction will help. Make sure you specifically lookat before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgeryperformed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspectis to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seekconsultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluateyou in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
