WHAT IS THE LIFESTYLE LIFT™?
The Lifestyle Lift® is a minor procedure performed in about an hour. It was designed exclusively for jowls, frown lines, wrinkles, loose neck (turkey neck) and facial skin. Recovery is quick. We describe it as a new procedure for a new generation without the costs and prolonged recovery associated with traditional procedures.

WHAT DOES
IT DO?
As
people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the
sun and stresses of daily life can be seen in their
faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth.
The jaw line grows slack; jowls form, folds and fat
deposits appear around the lower face and neck.
People can look older and more tired than they feel.
The procedure brings back your jaw-line and neck,
removes wrinkles and frown lines, creating the more
youthful appearance you once had. It can be
instantly seen and felt before leaving the office.
Results are immediate and often dramatic.
What
the Lifestyle Lift™
can do is improve the
visible signs of aging by removing excess fat,
tightening underlying muscles and skin of the face
and neck. The procedure does not change you; it
simply makes you look the way you did years ago.
WHO
PERFORMS THE LIFESTYLE LIFT™?
All
of our surgeons are individually chosen by
Dr. Kent; skills, safety, board certification,
specialization, hospital affiliations and
proficiency are all taken into account before a
surgeon undergoes training to join the Lifestyle
Lift™ Medical Group. Dr. Kent chooses the
best of the best; Facial Plastic Surgeons and
General Plastic Surgeons. All are experienced in
dealing with facial structures, nerves, and, most
importantly, underlying muscles.
Many
doctors performing plastic surgery today are
"cosmetic" surgeons.
(Click here for more
information on who is performing your cosmetic
surgery). Dermatologists (skin doctors);
OBGYNs and other doctors attend weekend courses in
plastic surgery and receive a "certificate" or
degree in cosmetic surgery. Lifestyle Lift™
never associates with cosmetic surgeons or
dermatologists. Always check what your surgeon’s
specialty is. Rest assured all of our surgeons are
specialty trained in approved residencies and
fellowships and have undergone extensive, approved
training in facial plastic surgery.
IS
IT SAFE?
Your
safety is our number one concern at Lifestyle Lift™.
The Lifestyle Lift™ has been performed safely on
over 8,000 patients. Statistics support the fact
that this is an extremely safe procedure.
Since we do not use general i.v. anesthesia, we
avoid those dangers. Results are natural without
that stretched “wind-swept” appearance.
WHERE IS MY LIFESTYLE LIFT PERFORMED?
The
procedure is performed in our specially equipped
suite within our office. The atmosphere is very
relaxed and confidential. We follow OSHA
guidelines and use state of the art medical, safety,
and sterilization techniques and equipment. You are
in a relaxing, reclining type of chair, not lying
flat. We do everything to make your experience as
comfortable and relaxed as possible.
WHY
DON'T YOU USE GENERAL OR INTRAVENOUS ANESTHESIA SO I
DON'T NEED TO BE AWAKE?
Many
complications resulting from cosmetic plastic
surgery are the direct result of dangerous
anesthetics given outside the hospital setting and
often by a non-anesthesiologist. WE FIRMLY
BELIEVE IN SAFETY AT ALL TIMES,
therefore, we do not use these often dangerous IV
and general anesthetics. The Lifestyle Lift™ has
been done safely on thousands of patients exactly as
described with minimal discomfort. We are experts in
keeping even the most anxious patients relaxed and
comfortable while maintaining safety at the same
time.

may vary.
