Surgical facelifts are usually thought of as painful and drawn out, but advancements have made facelifts a simple as a single stitch. The One-Stitch Facelift was developed by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Renato Calabria, as an easy alternative to mini facelifts. The One-Stitch Facelift was actually developed from old Hollywood makeup technique. Dr. Calabria noticed an actress who could appear years younger by using a single piece of scotch tape to tighten her skin. He surmised that the same technique could be made permanent through surgical means and thus the One-Stitch Facelift was born.

The One-Stitch Facelift, once just the secret of the wealthy, is now available everywhere. The surgery is performed through small incisions placed in the hairline; sutures then pull the skin up. On his One-Stitch Facelift, Dr. Calabria says, “It pulls up in this direction, which is very natural, soften the nasal labia fold, and improves a little bit of the jaw line.” Swelling is minimal and patients can return to work the very next day.

If you ever wondered why your favorite actress stays so young looking it just might be with the aid of a simple stitch. Other hassle free facelifts include Thermage® and Thread Lifts. The Short Scar Facelt, or S-Lift, is another excellent facelift that offers minimal incisions.  Of course, there’s always scotch tape, just remember to stay out of the rain!
