The Long-term Results of Purse-string Facelifts（4）
The QuickLift, like any other cosmetic procedure, is not a cookie-cutter solution. It must be applied differently to address each patient’s unique situation. Patient outcomes, as with every facelift procedure, will vary due to all of the physical characteristics mentioned, and those specific to the patient’s healing and intrinsic skin qualities.
Over the last six years, I have performed more than 1,800 QuickLift procedures. It has been my observation that the procedure produces consistent, long-term results (see figures 4a-b, 5a-b, 6a-b). I have also found that after the initial six to twelve month postoperative period, when virtually all of the expected skin relaxation has occurred, any further appearance changes are actually due to the normal aging process and not procedure shortcomings.
