A mini-facelift
The Lite Lift™ is a modified face lift. It is more affordable than a traditional facelift, with a quicker recovery time and long-lasting results. In many cases, Lite Lift™ results are more natural-looking than a full facelift. The procedure reduces signs of aging around the neck, jawbone, and lower face.
Advantages over a traditional facelift
- A Lite Lift™ can be performed in our office under local anaesthesia with oral sedation. There is no need for an IV or complete anaesthesia—unless you request it.
- The Lite Lift™ has a faster recovery time than a traditional facelift. Patients can expect to be back to their normal lives in about one to two weeks—about twice as fast as a traditional facelift.
- The Lite Lift™ is more affordable than a traditional facelift.
- The Lite Lift™ involves fewer and shorter incisions than a traditional facelift, which means they are less visible.
- Our Lite Lift™ patients experience less bruising and swelling during recovery than typical facelift patients.
Look like yourself
With a Lite Lift™ you can look the way you feel. The natural results of this “mini-facelift” are a major reason why many of our patients choose this over older facelift methods. Our patients want to look like themselves, but more rested and youthful. Because of its minimally-invasive counter-gravity nature, the Lite Lift™ rejuvenates the face without altering its essential character. Our patients often say that their friends comment on their refreshed appearance, but never guess that they’ve had surgery.
Choose the best doctors
Dr. Horowitz and Dr. Nichter are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is the only certification program for plastic surgeons recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Our doctors have more than 27 years of experience performing facial surgeries including facelifts, brow-lifts, midface-lifs, and eyelid surgery.
A simpler, safer sugery
The Lite Lift™ is an in-office surgery which requires only local anaesthetic. Oral medication will keep you feeling relaxed and comfortable. The operation itself normally requires incisions within the ear, the sideburn, and around the earlobe. These incisions are about 40% shorter than those used for a traditional facelift. The minimal scars are well-hidden and virtually disappear with time.
Long-lasting sutures lift the strong layers under the skin that support the jowl and neck, resulting in a well-defined jawline and neckline. The Lite Lift™ itself takes about two hours.
Faster recovery
Our patients’ early recovery period usually lasts no longer than a week. Our doctors and staff will see you frequently during your recovery to make sure everything is going well. If you choose to have additional treatments along with your Lite Lift™, this could increase recovery time depending on the number of areas treated.
A more enhanced result
Many of our patients choose to combine other procedures with their Lite Lift™ to enhance their result. The most common complementary procedures include liposuction on the neck, a “mini-browlift” (temple lift), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and injections such as Botox, Juviderm, Sculptra, and Radiesse. Fat can also be used as a filler. Blue peels and laser treatments are also common requests.
