Lifestyle Lift Information

Stress, lifestyle choices, and sun exposure can cause the skin to manifest the signs of aging prematurely. A lifestyle lift may provide a solution for people looking for a method to reverse visible signs of aging on the skin of the face and neck.

  1. Function

    • A cosmetic surgeon may do a lifestyle lift procedure to tighten sagging jowls and droopy skin, remove access fat, and smoothe wrinkles and frown lines from the face and neck.

    Benefits

    • The lifestyle lift produces a change that is more subtle and natural looking than a facelift. Many patients also prefer the lifestyle lift because it only requires local anesthesia, and it is typically less expensive than a traditional facelift.

    Who Does It

    • Doctor David M. Kent performed the first lifestyle lift procedure in 2001. As of 2010 more than 80 doctors all over the United States specialize in the lifestyle lift procedure.

    Time

    • A cosmetic surgeon may perform a lifestyle lift in the comfort of his office in about an hour. A patient can expect to return to their normal activities in about a week.

    Safety

    • Because the lifestyle lift procedure does not require sedation it is considered to have fewer medical risks than a full facelift. Lifestyle lift also has strict standards for the doctors who perform the procedure.
