Quick Lifts

[Winged Scapula]

Random question from a patient who wanted a referral for one of these, which got me to reading about them.

Do they really do a SMAS lift and if so, how do they differ from one? What is different that makes them "quick"?

If you're referring to a "lifestyle lift", it's simply a pretragal incision with a small SMAS plication. I think it's unimpressive and I probably wouldn't offer it. As my friend says, it's a facelift for someone who doesn't need one. It's supposed to help hike the malar fat pad up some, but I can't believe that it really does that. Tell your friend that if she wants a facelift, to go for the real deal (if she actually needs it).

She called it a Quick Lift but its probably the same as the "lifestyle lift" or "lunchtime lift."

Honestly, it wasn't for me or a friend, but a patient asked about it since she knows I work with PRS guys (none of whom do anything but the traditional face lift). She does need it.

Thanks for the info...I figured it had to be something sketchy if you can do it over the lunch hour.
