What is ProLIFT?
ProLIFT, short for Progressive Limited Incision Facelift Technique, is a signature facial rejuvenation method developed by Dr. Mark Beaty in 2007. Designed for patients experiencing early to moderate signs of aging, this innovative technique focuses on achieving maximum results with minimal incisions and dissection. The result? Naturally rejuvenated facial contours with shorter recovery times and no visible scars.
How Does ProLIFT Work?
The procedure begins with a discreet, limited incision placed within the natural creases around the ear. Through this incision, the skin is gently elevated to assess the underlying SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), which serves as the face’s structural support. Depending on the individual patient’s needs, Dr. Beaty employs a tailored approach to lift and tighten these supportive tissues, restoring youthful contours to the face, jawline, and neck.
In some cases, the incision may need to be extended into or along the hairline to ensure smooth and natural draping of the skin, enhancing the overall result.
Is ProLIFT Right for You?
It’s important to note that ProLIFT is not a mini or microlift. While less invasive than more extensive procedures like the extended deep plane facelift, ProLIFT delivers dramatic, long-lasting results, making it an ideal option for patients who may not yet require a more comprehensive facelift.
By combining precision with personalization, ProLIFT offers a revolutionary approach to facial rejuvenation—tailored to fit your unique needs.
