The mini facelift, also referred to as a week­end facelift, quick lift and for­mer­ly known as lifestyle lift pro­vides a solu­tion to the changes you see in your face as you age. It can help reduce vis­i­ble signs of aging, by tight­en­ing and firm­ing the cheeks, jaw­line and neck.

Sherry’s sto­ry began with an unex­pect­ed nudge — a pain on her left side while exer­cis­ing that just didn’t sit right. ​“I hadn’t had a mam­mo­gram in three years.

Accord­ing to the Cen­ter for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion (CDC), approx­i­mate­ly eight to ten per­cent of the Unit­ed States pop­u­la­tion will become sick with an influen­za (flu) virus each year. Addi­tion­al­ly, the aver­age Amer­i­can will catch between two to three colds per year. A cold and the flu are both caused by viral infec­tions and pro­duce a vari­ety of unpleas­ant symp­toms. Colds often are accom­pa­nied by nasal con­ges­tion and/​or a run­ny nose, sneez­ing, cough­ing and a sore throat. Flu virus­es can cause sim­i­lar symp­toms as well as fatigue, fever, head and body aches, and for some, diar­rhea and vom­it­ing. While there is no cure for either ill­ness, sev­er­al over-the-counter med­ica­tions and home reme­dies may offer symp­tom relief.
