The New York Times ran an excellent article recently (June 2009) looking at mass marketed facelifts like the Lifestyle Lift and Quicklift. Several key points are worth discussing:

1. The Lifestyle Lift and Quicklift franchises don?t offer patients a full range of options for facial rejuvenation. It?s more of a one-operation-fits-all thinking. This type of cosmetic surgery though is really one of those things that needs to be intensely customized to each patient. Your face isn?t exactly like anyone else?s and your facelift shouldn?t be either.
2. Minimal facelifts are procedures that are suitable only for a limited, select group of patients. They tend to work if you just barely, sort-of need a facelift or if you already had a full facelift and might need a little bit of re-tightening, a tuck-up. A basic rule of thumb: If you look in the mirror and think you need a facelift, you probably need a time tested real facelift. I?ve seen far too many patients who?ve spent thousands of dollars on minilifts, Laser treatments, Thermage, and suture lifts only to ultimately end up getting the "real" thing. Which is what they needed in the first place.
3. The Times article reports facelift franchise consultants may employ high-pressure sales tactics to get you to sign up for surgery ? often before meeting the surgeon . Hard sell does not belong in plastic surgery. If you?re ever in a doctor?s office and feel you are being pushed to get a facelift, leave. No reputable plastic surgeon I know employs these kind of tactics.
4. The quality of your facelift (or any cosmetic surgery result) ultimately depends on the skill, judgment, and artistry of your plastic surgeon. You only have one face. Choose carefully.
Hope this helps !

You should be very careful. In a recent patient satisfaction survey over 78% of LSL (Life Style Lift) patients were unhappy with the results and outcomes. This says volumes. Also there is a class action law suit for false advertising. The State of New York fined LSL $300,000+ for these issues.
Life Style Lifts are an advertising ploy using vast, amounts of radio, television informercials, news print, and mailers to "sell" their concept. The concept is a easy, fast recovery micro mini facelift. The "hired guns" - doctors or shall I say poorly trained surgeons, are paid a fee per case of $500 to $800. So volume surgery is the plan causing poor results. Many board certified plastic surgeons around the U.S. have been correcting these poorly planned and poorly preformed surgeries. Do your homework on the net, specifically here in "MAKE ME HEAL.com' blogs.
I just revised a poor LSL last month. Maybe I should have a web site, I fix BAD LSL's! Regards from MIAMI (less)
