What is the QuickLift Mini Face Lift Procedure?

Chattanooga, February 3, 2011– For women who want a fresher, more youthful look without undergoing a traditional face lift procedure, Dr. James White of Advanced Surgical Concepts in Chattanooga, TN, says that the QuickLift mini face lift procedure is an excellent option. This minimally-invasive procedure offers better results than a typical face lift with less cost and less downtime.

One of the many benefits of the QuickLift mini face lift procedure is that it can be completed in an in-office surgical suite using just IV sedation and a local anesthetic. Compared with a traditional face lift – which must be done in a surgical center under general anesthesia – the QuickLift mini face lift is by far a superior option for most patients.

Specifically, Dr. White explains that the QuickLift mini face lift procedure is designed for patients who need help rejuvenating the mid-face and neck areas. Ideally, the QuickLift mini face lift should be used as a "neck contouring" procedure, which lifts and contours the neck to produce a more youthful appearance.

At his office in Chattanooga, Dr. White says that the biggest fear that most face lift patients have is that they are going to look "pulled" or "plastic" after the procedure. For years, the general concept about facial plastic surgery is that people who have it done end up looking fake or odd in some way. Thankfully, this is of no concern to patients undergoing a QuickLift mini face lift, because the procedure itself involves zero pulling and zero tightening. Instead, patients can expect to leave the surgery looking more rested than they have in years.

The QuickLift mini face lift is a procedure that is based on the S-lift or "short scar." Dr. White says that many patients in Chattanooga view the QuickLift mini face lift as a middle of the road procedure since it is more invasive than Botox or fillers but less invasive than a traditional face lift. Because patients who undergo a QuickLift mini face lift procedure can do so without having any general anesthesia, they experience less downtime than those undergoing traditional face lifts.

If cost is a concern, then the QuickLift mini face lift pulls ahead in that arena as well. According to Dr. White, the fact that the procedure is done in an in-office surgical suite without general anesthesia helps lower the cost significantly when compared to other types of cosmetic surgeries.

An ideal candidate for a QuickLift mini face lift is a person between the ages of 45 and 80 in good health. Gender is not a factor when it comes to selecting patients for the QuickLift mini face lift, and Dr. White says that he has had both male and female patients come into his practice asking for this procedure.

For the best results, Dr. White recommends combining the QuickLift mini face lift with another cosmetic procedure such as laser resurfacing, fat transfer, or eyelid lift. Patients who have two or more cosmetic procedures done at once can not only lift their faces but add volume and a three-dimensional change at the same time. This gives men and women a very natural look, which is what people really want.
