Today there are many quick, cheap imitations of the traditional face lift: the Quick Lift, the Lunchtime Facelift, the One Hour Lift, the Thread Lift, the Loop Lift, the Lifetime Lift, etc.. Most of these procedures are designed to be “quick fixes” with the incomplete results that only last a short time. The traditional, time tested and proven procedures take 4-5+ hours in the operating and incur more expense, but the beneficial effects usually last 15 -20 years. As with most things, with facelift surgery, ‘you get what you pay for’.
