The Actual Procedure
-
The Lifestyle Lift is a plastic surgery procedure that is generally performed as an in-office procedure under a local anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision at the hairline by the front of each ear. After the incision is made, the skin is pulled until the facial wrinkles are smoothed out. Extra facial skin is cut away and liposuction may be used to remove fat from the chin and eye area. Sutures are used to collect and tighten muscles. The skin on the neck is then pulled and sutured. Liposuction may also be used on the neck area to remove excess fat.
Who is A Good Candidate?
-
A good candidate for a Lifestyle Lift is a man or woman who has jowls or a droopy chin and neck. As with any elective surgery, patients should be in good health.
The average age range is early 40's to mid 50's. Men and women with significant wrinkling around the eye area with fat deposits are generally not completely satisfied with claimed Lifestyle Lift results.
