Welcome to the Lifestyle Lift!
Description
Founded by Dr. David Kent in 2001, The Lifestyle Lift® is a nationwide group of board-certified or board eligible facial plastic surgeons and plastic surgeons. Lifestyle Lift® doctors perform a unique, minimally-invasive facelift procedure.
The Lifestyle Lift® Story
Lifestyle Lift® was developed against the backdrop of traditional, expensive facelifts that required heavy anesthesia and deep incisions. The Lifestyle Lift® procedure began as an alternative treatment offered by Dr Kent to a patient in her 50’s. The patient wanted to look younger, but was concerned about the trauma, risk, and expense involved with the traditional facelift. The Lifestyle Lift® procedure evolved out of this need for a minimally invasive, safe procedure that could be performed in as little as an hour, with no pain, large incisions, or a long recovery period.
The patient was relieved and excited. The results were consistent with those of a traditional facelift procedure; but she was able to resume her normal activities quickly, and best of all she looked years younger and totally refreshed. It was not long before The Lifestyle Lift® offices were so backed up that clients had to wait almost a year for treatment.
At that time, when most doctors were still following the conventional facelift procedure, Dr. Kent built The Lifestyle Lift® team of professionals to provide The Lifestyle Lift® procedure – a more affordable, quicker, and safer procedure.
Mission
The Lifestyle Lift® introduced a specialized facial procedure to meet the needs of patients who may not require a traditional facelift, but need more than topical treatments or injections, and want to see natural-looking results quickly.
The purpose of the procedure is to:
• Bring back the jaw line • Address wrinkles and frown lines • Remove excess fat • Tighten droopy muscles and skin on both the face and neck • Create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance
The Lifestyle Lift® procedure is also geared towards making cosmetic improvement affordable to the general public.The cost varies depending on the procedure, with typical cost for a Lifestyle Lift® being about $5,000.
Services
Unlike most traditional plastic surgeries, The Lifestyle Lift® facial cosmetic procedure takes place in the doctor’s office and is completed in about an hour. It requires only local anesthesia. Patients have the additional option of taking an oral sedative.
During consultation, the patient’s individual needs are identified. The Lifestyle Lift® makes an effort to tailor each procedure to the patient, rather than to provide a one-size-fits-all solution. The goal of this customized care is to ensure that patients are more satisfied with their individual results.
The procedure itself involves making small, carefully-placed incisions in hidden areas such as the natural creases in front of each ear. This enables the vast majority of patients to heal with minimal scaring. Because the incisions are so small, patients don’t need to undergo general anesthesia and face the associated risks.
Patients typically do not experience discomfort during The Lifestyle Lift® procedure. After the procedure, some patients may experience some mild soreness or irritation. A pain management regimen is implemented to make the recovery period as pain-free as possible.
Most patients resume normal activity in about a week; it can take a couple of weeks for swelling to subside completely. However, healing time may differ depending on the patient’s age and the elasticity of skin.
Clients are examined the day after the procedure to evaluate the results and return 7 to 10 days after the procedure for another review.
More about The Lifestyle Lift® Procedure
The Lifestyle Lift® procedure is performed under local anesthesia, carries lower risks and requires far less downtime, which is what people want today. Recovery is quicker, often with much less discomfort, swelling and bruising.
By design, the Lifestyle Lift® procedure is less invasive than more traditional methods of facial rejuvenation, resulting in fewer complications and faster recovery. Using minimally invasive procedures is increasingly preferred for a wide variety of surgical needs.
The Lifestyle Lift® is exclusively designed to improve sagging jowls, frown lines, wrinkles and loose skin of the face and neck leaving patients looking young and rejuvenated.
Why Lifestyle Lift® is performed under general anesthesia?
Lifestyle Lift® procedures are performed in a private medical office under local anesthesia Lifestyle Lift® never uses general anesthesia, where a patient is rendered unconscious. Neither does it use intravenous sedation, where drugs are injected through a needle into a vein with the patient semi-awake. In addition to the risks of being put completely “under” and mechanically ventilated, with general anesthesia there is also increased incidence of nausea and vomiting, and patients are usually groggy after surgery. With intravenous sedation, the patient may become restless, requiring more anesthetic agents for a deeper level of sedation than planned. As a result, the patient may experience a decrease in breathing and possible safety compromise during the procedure. Lifestyle Lift® procedures are specifically designed to remove years of aging while being safer than traditional methods of facial rejuvenation. With the conservative Lifestyle Lift® anesthesia method, patients — although relaxed and comfortable — are awake and able to converse with their doctor. Many Lifestyle Lift® patients comment that they befeel comfortable, yet still aware of their surroundings.
Who is a good candidate?
The Lifestyle Lift® is suitable for anyone who exhibits visible signs aging or wishes to deal with birth defects. The Lifestyle Lift® facial firming procedure is one of the safest and most reliable forms of cosmetic enhancement that can be performed at any age, even though most people who opt for the procedure are in their mid-forties to sixties. However, the procedure can also be performed on people who are in their seventies and eighties and still in good health. The Lifestyle Lift's astounding results are not limited by age.
The Lifestyle Lift® is designed to be safer than traditional procedures. A free consultation provided by certified Lifestyle Lift® doctors determine the candidacy of the patient.

Things you should know before the Lifestyle Lift®
The Lifestyle Lift® requires patients to take some precautions to make it a safer experience with long-lasting results. The patients are required to discontinue blood thinners for two weeks before the procedure. Aspirins, arthritis medicines, cold medicines, and other drugs containing aspirins can cause excessive bleeding.
Patients are advised not to operate a motorized vehicle or power equipment on the Lifestyle Lift® procedure day. It’s important to confirm your Lifestyle Lift® procedure date one or two weeks before. The Lifestyle Lift® doctors are available all the time to answer all questions and make the patient as comfortable as possible.
Lifestyle Lift® fellowship program
The Lifestyle Lift® offers a Lifestyle Lift® fellowship program to its new doctors for intense training before they are certified to perform the procedure. This unique development program ensures only the best quality doctors work on patients who desire The Lifestyle Lift®. The program is designed in a way that the doctors gain maximum experience and expertise in their field. In a traditional training program, doctors typically get to experience about 25 to 50 procedures in a year; whereas in the Lifestyle Lift® fellowship program, the doctors are exposed to as many cases in a month. This not only hones their skills but also exposes them to a great variety of cases.
Lifestyle Lift counseling
Meeting the Lifestyle Lift doctor is the most important part of this procedure. A team of highly qualified Lifestyle Lift® doctors take time to evaluate the patient’s individual needs, goals and expectations before performing the surgery. The doctors help their patients understand the procedure to set their expectations right and design the whole process according to their individual needs. The doctor’s individually give time to their patients, understand their inhibitions and help them overcome the fears they might have before the surgery.
Lifestyle Lift® expectations
A Lifestyle Lift® procedure doesn’t change your appearance. It simply helps you look the way you did years ago. You can look years younger, with a natural, refreshed appearance but you can’t change what nature gave you. The Lifestyle Lift® is not a magic wand that will wipe away years off your face but can almost ‘set back the clock’, improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck. However if you still want to change what nature gave you, Lifestyle Lift® isn’t for you. But if you want to look younger, with a natural, refreshed appearance one that leaves you looking as vibrant as possible for your age Lifestyle Lift® can help.
After The Lifestyle Lift®
After the Lifestyle Lift® procedure, there are a few precautions to be kept in mind and followed by the book for faster recovery and minimal complications:
•Follow the directions given by your Lifestyle Lift® surgeon: First and foremost is to follow your surgeon's instructions. Take your antibiotics and your pain killers on schedule. Do not take any medication without the doctor’s prescription.
•Do not smoke: Smoking will slow down the healing process during recovery and lead to further complications. •Avoid alcohol: Generally try to avoid alcohol as it may interfere with the painkillers prescribed and nullify their effects.
•Avoid sun exposure: Exposure to sun can lead to re-wrinkling; cover your face during your recovery time with hats, sunglasses etc.
•Apply ice-packs: It will help the swelling and bruising to subside, and minimize the pain.
•Have soft foods and liquids: Include protein shakes and soft foods like pureed fruit, applesauce, oatmeal, yogurt, etc. in your diet and try to avoid acidic content fruits like orange and lemon.
History
In 2001, Dr. Kent went to medical conferences and the media to introduce his concept of safe, affordable, out-patient, facial procedures. As word of the procedure - and evidence of its results - spread, Kent and his colleagues saw patient waiting lists expand to accommodate appointments several months in advance. The company responded to public demand by employing additional accredited facial and plastic surgeons across the country.
