Under the name “Lifestyle Lift”, different surgeons use different techniques. It is more a marketing than technical term. Often times it is performed by surgeons who are not trained in plastic surgery in the conventional manner, and many times “this training” is merely a weekend course. Most properly trained and board certified plastic surgeons, including myself, have seen patients who are less than satisfied with the results of the Lifestyle Lift because of the short term duration of the results, excessive scarring, ear and sideburn deformity, etc. Corrective surgery after a Lifestyle Lift can be very challenging. 50% of my practice is now dedicted to these types of cases–patients come to me in Los Angeles on a nationwide basis.
