How is the QuickLift™ different from a Traditonal Facelift?
Most "traditional" and mid face lift procedures are performed with general anesthesia and involve multiple weeks of downtime and a long incision beginning at the upper temples and extending behind the hairline on either side of the face to the nape. Due to the length of the procedure and the type of anesthesia, there is an increase risk of complications, which can also include isolated permanent hair loss. The QuickLift is performed under local anesthesia or with twilight sedation, and takes one to two hours to complete. The smaller incision and shorter surgical time results in less swelling and bruising and a shorter recovery period. Most people who have the QuickLift on a Friday can easily return to work the following week, depending on their occupations.
Is the QuickLift Face Lift a proven medical procedure?
Yes, variations of the QuickLift Face Lift procedure have been performed for more than 30 years. Doctors from around the country perform the QuickLift Face Lift with great success; however, the technique, recovery time and results vary with each doctor and each patient.
Will the scars be noticeable?
Most patients who have followed post-op care instructions say the scar lines are virtually undetectable once healed. Most doctors who perform the QuickLift use a "beveling" technique when making the incision to encourage natural hair growth along the sideburn, further concealing the scar line. What type of anesthesia is administered?
The QuickLift face lift can be performed with local anesthesia or twilight sedation, both of which make the lower and mid face lift procedure painless and minimize the chance of complications. Oral pre-medication is generally recommended to help relax the patient. How long will the results last?
The procedure can erase up to ten years or more from your appearance almost instantly; however, the normal aging process will resume. Many factors, including skin type, sun exposure and heredity all play a role in determining how long the desired result will last. Are there any risks associated with the QuickLift?
As with any surgical procedure, no matter how minor, there are associated risks. However, refraining from smoking and carefully following the pre- and post-surgical instructions will reduce the likelihood of complications.
How do I know if the QuickLift procedure is right for me?
If you are a healthy male or female between 40 and 65+ years of age and you have mild to moderate skin looseness in the lower region of your face (lower cheeks, jaw line, under your chin) the QuickLift procedure may be appropriate for you as an alternative to the traditional or mid face lift.
