A very popular lift which has been called many different names is the "mini," "quick," "S," and/or "band-aid" face lift. We call our version of this type of facelift the SPA LIFT because we incorporate improved skin care to protect the longevity of the result and laser treatments of the wounds to improve their healing. This lift predominantly addresses the neck, jawline and jowl; little change is appreciated in the upper cheek and melo-labial folds. The dissection plane is superficial, and the incision and dissection are shorter than in the traditional face lift discussed above. The true key to this procedure is that sutures are placed under the skin to tighten the tissues. Without these sutures the results of the lift will not last. The advantage of this lift is that it can be done under local anesthesia with mild sedation and has a significantly shorter recovery period. Most individuals undergoing this lift will be able to return to work in days and truly look excellent in a couple of weeks.
