“Branded” facelifts only as good as the surgeon performing the operation

There are a number of facelift operations that have branded themselves and advertise their brand heavily.  Lifestyle lift and quick lift are two of the more common.  Patients are often looking for surgeons with a “magic procedure” that can improve techniques with decreased downtime.  To be sure, surgeons are looking for this recipe even harder.  In the case of facelifs, although these procedures tout themselves as being better or equivalent results to standard facelift procedures with less expense and downtime, buyer beware.  It should be the surgeon that attracts a patient, not a procedure.  The results of a procedure are only as good as the surgeon behind it.
