QuickLift

The QuickLift is an outpatient mid face lift procedure that usually takes one to two hours to perform, depending on the surgeon, the age of the patient and the degree of correction desired. Oral pre-medication is generally suggested to help relax the patient.

Meticulous attention is given to the placement of the incision line to promote an inconspicuous scar. The underlying connective tissue and facial musculature is gently lifted and tightened using a double purse-string suture technique, which immediately enhances the appearance of the jaw line and upper neck, and makes the improvement long lasting. The redundant skin is then tailored and the incision is carefully closed under magnification using a suturing technique designed to reduce tension and minimize any visible scarring. In some cases, a submental tuck, which further addresses the upper neck, or liposuction of the neck and jowl area may performed in conjunction with the QuickLift for optimal aesthetic results. Dr. Michael Sadove is now offering the Quicklift.
