Discover How Easy It Is to Look Younger and More Refreshed
QLift™ is an exciting, new, quick-recovery facelift that effectively reverses the effects of aging, producing a more youthful, refreshed look. Many patients claim looking at least 10 years younger after their QLift™. The Smartlipo laser can be used to eliminate fatty tissue under the chin.

The QLift is performed in our state-of-the-art medical suite and only requires local anesthesia. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually only takes about two hours to complete. Patients are able to go home soon after the procedure, although a driver or cab is recommended.

Typically, only a few days are required for full recovery and the procedure results in minimal discomfort and swelling.
How We Perform the Qlift
Phase 1: First, a small incision is made in front of the ear, which allows the cheek skin to be undermined in an anterior direction and down toward the jawline.
Phase 2: Next, a purse-string suture, anchored in the temporal hairline region, is drawn through the jawline, elevating the muscle upward. This same technique is utilized for the cheek.
Phase 3: Now, the excess skin created by the pull of the purse-string sutures is elevated upward in front of the ear and excised.
Phase 4: The final outcome of the QLift is seen here, with the cheek and jawline nicely recontoured, the excess skin removed, and the incisions hidden within the hairline and in front of the ear.
