Beverly Hills Facelift Specialist Dr. Jason B. Diamond

As a facelift and rhinoplasty specialist in the Beverly Hills and Southern California region I see people from all over the world looking to have the perfect facelift.
I am often asked by patients, “I have heard of the deep plane facelift and the quick lift, and the 2 stitch facelift, and the short scar facelift and the lifestyle lift and the short flap facelift and the vertical facelift and the antigravity lift and the mini facelift and the anterior facelift and the multi-vector facelift and the S lift, etc. etc. etc. Doc, which is the best facelift?” As an outreach for my patients and those people who are interested in deciphering and making sense of all these different terms I have decided to discuss the different types of facelifts and give some keys as to which facelift is appropriate for which type of person, as I have performed them all many times.
Making sense of all the different types of facelifts can be quite confusing for the patient. It is very easy to get lured into thinking that a facelift with a flashy or gimmicky name is a better facelift than the standard facelift procedure. There are many infomercials on television now claiming that their new minimally invasive local anesthesia facelift is the answer to all your facial dilemmas.
There are many different ways to perform a facelift and as a facial expert with a worldwide reputation as an elite facelift surgeon I have performed every type of facelift listed above and more.
The reality is that each person has unique facial anatomy that ages in its own way. Some people develop jowls others develop the “turkey gobbler” others develop saggy cheeks others develop a combination of some or all of the above. The most appropriate facelift is the one that will address the patients needs the best, not the one with nicest name or the best infomercial.
This will be a several part series where I will try to describe as clearly as I can what all these confusing marketing terms really mean.
