QT Facelift®️️️️ – Dr. Louis DeJoseph, Atlanta Georgia
The “QT Lift®️️” offers all the benefits of a full facelift with little downtime and less swelling and bruising. The best candidates for “QT Lift®️️” are usually adults between the ages of 40 and 65, with early signs of aging, those who just do not have time away from their busy schedules, and those who just require a touch-up.
The “QT Lift®️️” is unique to all facelift procedures, as it incorporates the same technique as the traditional one. Unlike the “Featherlift” where a barbed thread is used to hold the skin in place and the “Lifestyle Lift,” where a permanent suture is left in place to hold the tissues, the QT Lift®️️, innovatively developed by Dr. Louis DeJoseph, incorporates the principles and techniques of the deep plane facelift. This advanced approach addresses significant facial sagging and deep-set wrinkles by meticulously repositioning the entire facial structure, including the layers beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). It’s designed for individuals experiencing pronounced aging signs, offering them dramatic and lasting rejuvenation. The QT Lift®️️ and the deep plane facelift share a similar recovery timeline. Tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, the QT Lift provides a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation, blending expertise with patient-centered care.
In general, the “QT Lift®️️” has the same technique and longevity as the traditional version but addresses a smaller area of concern. For individuals with a heavy neck or excessive sagging of the face, neck, and jowls, QT Lift®️️ may be paired with the QT Neck Lift for optimal results. Commonly, liposuction of the neck may also be performed with a QT lift.
The QT Lift®️️ is performed in our state-of-the-art, surgery center at Northside Advanced Surgery Center Perimeter. The surgery center is operated by Northside Hospital and only doctors of anesthesia and fully trained and accredited staff members are chosen to provide our patients with the highest standards of safety in a comfortable, environment with luxurious accommodations and privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions About QT Facelift®️️️️
Your desired results can last ten years or more. Subsequent alterations in the appearance of your body may occur as the result of aging, sun exposure, weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy, menopause, and/or other circumstances not related to your surgery.
Any healthy adult struggling with sagging skin is potentially a candidate for a facelift. Many people have this procedure performed in their 50’s and 60’s, but individual candidacy is up to the discretion of your plastic surgeon.
Dr. DeJoseph performs surgery at Northside Advanced Surgery Center Perimeter.
Because smaller and fewer incisions are made, bruising and swelling are greatly reduced. Patients are able to return to work or social functions in as little as five to seven days.
There are potential adverse reactions that occur as the result of taking over-the-counter, herbal, and/or prescription medications. Aspirin and medications that contain aspirin interfere with bleeding. These include non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as Motrin, Advil, and Aleve. It is very important not to stop drugs that interfere with platelets, such as Plavix, which is used after a stent. When taking the prescribed pain medications after surgery, realize that they can affect your thought process and coordination. Do not drive, do not operate complex equipment, do not make important decisions, and do not drink any alcohol while taking these medications. Be sure to take your prescribed medication only as directed.
The effects of the sun are damaging to the skin. Exposing the treated areas to the sun may result in increased scarring, color changes, and poor healing. Patients who tan, either outdoors or in a salon, should inform their surgeon and either delay treatment, or avoid tanning until the surgeon says it is safe to resume. The damaging effect of sun exposure occurs even with the use of sunblock or clothing coverage.
Any surgery holds the risk of complications that may delay healing and your return to normal life. Please let the surgeon know of any travel plans, important commitments already scheduled or planned, or time demands that are important to you, so that appropriate timing of surgery can occur. There are no guarantees that you will be able to resume all activities in the desired time frame.
