How the Weekend Facelift is Performed


Advertisement

If the signs of aging are creeping up on you, facial plastic surgery is no longer your only option. The Weekend Facelift can be performed in an about an hour, and is designed to correct sagging of the skin, tighten up the jowls and create a more youthful appearance. This innovative procedure does not involve any incisions, and is also relatively painless.
 
If you’ve been considering facelift surgery but have been apprehensive about going under the knife, the weekend facelift may be a better procedure for you. Here’s a close look at how the Weekend Facelift is performed, and what the key benefits of this anti-aging procedure are:

How the Weekend Lift Works

The Weekend Facelift is designed to tighten lift the skin using strategically placed sutures. The sutures are placed under the skin through a tiny hole using a needle, and they slowly begin to lift the skin tissues over a period of hours. The skin flattens immediately after the procedure from natural tension, and then slowly begins to lift and stretch the skin upwards so that all of the tissues are tightened.
 
The Weekend Lift is performed to tighten any loose or sagging skin, and can even be performed on skin that is relatively thin. The procedure is performed by making a tiny needle-sized hole in the hairline, which heals very quickly once the needle is removed. This means there is no downtime or pain, and the entire procedure only takes about an hour to perform.
 
The key difference between the Weekend Facelift and the standard facelift is that the doctor is not manipulating or repositioning the skin tissues in any way, nor are they cutting into the skin. This means there is less recovery time involved, and results are almost instant.
The Weekend Facelift can be combined with other procedures such as Thermage skin tightening, Botox injections, or the Titan skin tightening treatment in order to enhance results.

Key Benefits of the Weekend Facelift

In addition to being such a fast procedure, the Weekend Lift offers several benefits over the traditional facelift. Key benefits of the Weekend Facelift include:
  • No cutting or stitches involved
  • Provides results that are similar to some types of facelift surgery
  • Long-lasting results
  • More affordable than facelift surgery
  • Completely reversible
  • No visible scarring
  • No downtime involved
  • Reduced risk of infection and complications than surgery
The Weekend Facelift can be performed on the lower face and neck area, and virtually eliminates all sagging in the lower third of the face. It can help to create a more defined profile, reduce nasolabial folds, and also get rid of jowls. Most people see results immediately, and will see more noticeable results within a few days after the procedure. Wearing a hat when under the sun is recommended, since the suture insertion point may be slightly sore the procedure.
