Difference between traditional face-lift and Lifestyle Lift

The Lifestyle Lift is an innovative, revolutionary procedure that offers a quicker, less expensive, and more effective alternative to the traditional face lift.

History

The concept behind the Lifestyle Lift was developed in 2001 by Dr. David Kent. Dr. Kent realized the great potential for an alternative to the traditional facelift and the successful results that could take place with less risk, less recovery time, and less cost than traditional facial plastic surgery. As the Lifestyle Lift phenomenon continued to grow, Dr. Kent began hand-selected certified doctors to train to perform the Lifestyle Lift.

Lifestyle Lift Physicians

To date, nearly six dozen physicians have undergone the training to become Lifestyle Lift physicians. Each one of these doctors is a leader in the industry, and all must be board certified or board eligible in order to become a Lifestyle Lift physician. This practice helps to ensure that only the most qualified doctors are performing the Lifestyle Lift.

Where to Get the Lifestyle Lift

There are currently dozens of Lifestyle Lift centers established in 23 states across the United States. While each center has specific doctors and staff working, each one follows the same guidelines regarding patient safety and client satisfaction.

Who Should Get the Lifestyle Lift

While the average Lifestyle Lift patient is between the ages of 40 and 65, anyone who would like to tighten the skin around the jaws, face, mouth, and eyes, reduce wrinkles, and enjoy an overall more youthful appearance may be a good candidate for the Lifestyle Lift. Both men and women seek out the Lifestyle Lift as a way to improve their appearance and increase self-esteem.

What to Expect from the Lifestyle Lift

The actual Lifestyle Lift procedure requires incisions at the hairline behind the ears. Most procedures take about an hour , although more extensive Lifestyle Lift requests may take a bit longer. The recovery time of the Lifestyle Lift is much less than traditional face lifts. Instead of being home-bound for weeks or months, most Lifestyle Lift patients are able to return to their full activities within a few days to a week.

How to Learn More About the Lifestyle Lift

The Lifestyle Lift offers free consultations to learn more about the procedure, see an image of the results you can experience with the Lifestyle Lift, and to ask any questions or address any concerns you have about the procedure. For those who decide that the Lifestyle Lift is right for them, appointments for the procedure can be made at the consultation as well.

During a free consultation with the professional Lifestyle Lift staff, you'll have the opportunity to discuss the specific results you'd like to experience from your Lifestyle Lift. Below are some of the common requests and results that Lifestyle Lift clients enjoy.

Jawline

As we age, our skin looses its elasticity and slowly begins to droop and sag. Most individuals begin to experience this in their 40s, and the effect continues with each passing year. For many people, this means that where a tight, defined jawline once was, there's now a sag of loose skin hanging down. This effect can add years of age to the appearance, as well as give off the appearance of a perpetual frown. Many Lifestyle Lift clients choose to have this skin tightened and drawn up. The re-defined jawline can have a notable impact on the appearance, and can help restore the face to a more useful look.

Wrinkles & Creases

Sun exposure, smoking, and years of facial expressions can lead to dramatic wrinkles and deep creases in the skin. As a telltale sign of age, wrinkles can greatly impact how old or young you look. Patients who have concerns about the appearance of wrinkles and creases are often pleased to see the skin tightened and the wrinkles and creases reduced or eliminated altogether.

Eyes

Like other areas of the face, the skin around the eyes has a tendency to droop and sag. Combined with "crow's feet" and wrinkles around the eyes, this can lead to a sad or tired appearance, and can add many years to the appearance of your face. When this skin is tightened and drawn back up with the Lifestyle Lift, it can lead to a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance that looks natural. (Don't worry about that "deer in the headlight" look that occurs with some plastic surgery).

Loose Neck Skin

One of the biggest complaints Lifestyle Lift patients often have is loose skin on the neck. Often referred to as "turkey neck," this unpleasant appearance is another clear sign of age. The Lifestyle Lift is ideal for tightening this skin and renewing the youthful appearance that existed pre-turkey neck!

Many Lifestyle Lift patients look to the Lifestyle Lift as an alternative to the traditional face lift, so the question frequently comes up: "What is the difference?"

While there are plenty of technical responses regarding tissue alignment and skin flap removal, we'll stick to the basics for this comparison.

Physicians

Did you know that no specialization is required to perform plastic surgery? Basically, anyone with a medical license - regardless of their specialization, training, or experience - can legally perform plastic surgery. And while most plastic surgeons are perfectly legitimate, some aren't. How will you know if the plastic surgeon you're seeing is board certified in plastic surgery, or some other field like pediatrics? The only way to know is to either specifically request the surgeon's credentials, or to always stick with the Lifestyle Lift physicians. Lifestyle Lift physicians are required to be board certified or board eligible in plastic surgery. So unlike traditional face lifts, with the Lifestyle Lift, you're guaranteed to see a physician whose training, education, and experience is specifically in plastic surgery.

Anesthesia

Generally speaking, traditional face lifts require general anesthesia. Patients are put completely out for the procedure, which brings about a number of risks. Since most cosmetic procedures are elective, those risks are unnecessary. The Lifestyle Lift requires only local anesthesia, so you'll be awake the entire time. Using a local anesthesia greatly reduces the risk of potentially life-threatening complications that can arise from other procedures.

Procedure Time

In most instances, the Lifestyle Lift requires about an hour to complete. Most other facial plastic surgery procedures require several hours and can last all day!

Recovery Time

You live a busy, active life and don't have time to spend weeks or months recovering from surgery. Unfortunately, many traditional cosmetic surgery procedures require weeks or months of recovery before you can fully return to your regular schedule. With the Lifestyle Lift, that time is dramatically reduced. Most of the Lifestyle Lift patients are able to return to work and their other regular activities within a week, and many require only a few days of recovery time.

Cost

The cost of the Lifestyle Lift is much, much less compared to the cost of most other facial plastic surgery procedures. Schedule your Lifestyle Lift consultation today, and the professional Lifestyle Lift staff will be able to provide you with a cost estimate for your Lifestyle Lift procedure based on the results you desire.

What exactly is Lifestyle Lift?

In the present stressful and fast moving life, people have no time to devote on their appearance, which later on reflect on them. Premature aging of the skin has become a common problem of the current generation. They complain that although they feel young, their skin reflects another story – that of aging. There are many procedures that are performed to retighten the sagging skin and Lifestyle Lift is one of them. It is designed to improve the loosing skin and wrinkle around the face and neck, sagging jowls and frown lines.

Lifestyle Lift has become one of the most popular procedures to deal with the symptoms of aging. Due to over exposure of the skin to the sun or stressful life, skin starts aging prematurely. Lifestyle Lift helps to restore the jaw line and neck to a youthful state and also softens the facial wrinkles. It is basically a procedure to improve the facial contours by tightening muscles, repositioning the neck and facial skin and by removing the excess fat. Lifestyle Lift gives immediate and natural results and the best part is that its recovery is quite fast.

The procedure is performed in Lifestyle Lift centers located all throughout the United States. You can go to a center where a doctor will first talk to you regarding your expectations and then will review your medical history. Once everything goes well, you may schedule a time when the procedure will be performed.

Difference between traditional face-lift and Lifestyle Lift

Lifestyle Lift is quite different from the traditional face-lift, which is an extended process with long recovery time. Lifestyle Lift is a safe and short procedure that numbs the skin with the local anesthesia in contrast to general anesthesia, which is used in traditional face-lift. Due to the use of local anesthesia there is a lower risk of complication and further the recovery is fast. Clients can go to their home a couple of hours after the procedure and can get back to their routine quickly. In contrast to this, a traditional face-lift is a lengthy process, where recovery can take weeks and even months. Lifestyle Lift is performed by specialized doctors who are personally selected by Dr. Kent. After selection, these doctors undergo a special training in Lifestyle Lift. The selected doctors are board eligible or board certified plastic surgeons who have years of specialized training. Whereas, in traditional face-lift any doctor are eligible to perform it, even though they are not trained plastic surgeons.
