PRP Vampire Facelift Reviews

Vampire facelift surgeons reviews:

This technique uses the injection of blood products to improve the effects of lost volume secondary to facial aging. Results will never mimic what is achieved with a traditional facelift. Ask to see 2-3 year results in patients that pre-operatively looked as you do. Get other consultations and consider all options.

(Richard W. Fleming, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)

What to Expect from a “Vampire Facelift”

You can expect to pay for something that has not been proven to have any significant effect in any well done studies A “vampire facelift” involves using a patients blood to create platelet rich plasma and stem cells.

This is then injected into the face. There are no good studies to support doing this so buyer beware. (Karol A. Gutowski, MD, FACS, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)

The procedure you are referring to, injection of blood into the face, has not been shown to be effective. I am very skeptical of such a procedure unless and until there are controlled studies demonstrating its efficacy.

I’m sure there are much better ways to spend money. If your mother is averse to undergoing surgery, you would be much better advised to have facial filler or laser treatment. (Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS, New York Plastic Surgeon)

Save your blood and your money

When I do a facelift I do not want to leave any blood in your face. So how is it that injecting your own blood into your face is a good thing? There is no long term evidence this technique works and it is completely counter intuitive to surgeons.

If there was photographic evidence of the long term effects (say three to five years) I might be convinced. But no one has any because this was just started in the past year.

So keep your blood where it belongs, inside your vascular system and get busy finding someone to do a facelift that lasts! (Phillip C. Haeck, MD, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)

Very unscientific.

The news media loves these stories about new surgical procedures. Just because something gets new coverage it does not make it worthwhile. The scientific data on this is absent. Use vaguely imply that there are stem cells in this material that creates the treatment benefit.

Many of these results honestly seem to be achieved by lighting difference in the before and after photos in my opinion. I would save my money for something that has stood the test of time.

Platelet-rich Plasma Or PRP

Doing something on the cutting edge will leave you wounded and financially bled with not much to show for the effort. (Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD, Beverly Hills Oculoplastic Surgeon)

Vampire facelift

What can you expect? Not a whole heckuva lot, in my opinion. This is essentially a procedure using some filler – which happens to be made from the patient’s own blood. It’s not really very different than having a few Juvederm or Restylane injections.

Except there’s even less data on longevity of the effect, than there is with these FDA approved fillers. If you needs a facelift, consider a more traditional surgical one.

I’ve been underwhelmed with the results I’ve seen shown of typical “vampire facelifts”! (Thomas Fiala, MD, Orlando Plastic Surgeon)

Vampire Facelift Before After

After a vampire facelift, a patient can be a bit swollen and perhaps bruised from the injections. A bit of redness from the microneedling portion of the procedure that lasts 1 day is normal. (Sheila S. Nazarian, MD, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)

The “One is born Every Minute” Facelift – The Vampire Facelift

I must be the only one in the country who cannot understand the attraction to and preoccupation with Vampires. The whole Twilight phenomenon remains a mystery to me. But why let a perfectly good craze go to waste when there’s a lot of money to be made.

For years surgeons have been using mixture of blood components fibrin and platelets to fill crevices, protect joined blood vessels and supposedly enhance healing.

The Selphyl company produces a simple kit which helps create this platelet rich / fibrin sludge which can then be used as a filler.

As such, this re-injected blood component soup is not really a Facelift but more of a “Liquid Facelift” concept which attempts to restore lost volume to the face. Does it really work in the long term? Is it better than fat or other accepted fillers? How often do you need to have this treatment to maintain your appearance? I have yet to see these answers in respected scientific publications.

I’ll be ion the lookout for the next “big one” – The Frankenstein Facelift. (Peter A. Aldea, MD, Memphis Plastic Surgeon)

“Vampire” facelift.

You get what you pay for. Don’t be misled by everything you hear on TV. They are looking to get you to watch their show, not educate you. See an experienced facelift surgeon for the best results. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Vampire Facelift is Not a Facelift, but an Expensive Filler

Whether or not Selphyl will produce results that are superior to fillers Juvederm and Restylane remains to be seen, but it is certainly much more expensive. Although the results will not even approximate those of a Facelift, I sincerely doubt that Selphyl confers any advantage to the array of injectables currently available.(Stephen Prendiville, MD, Fort Myers Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Vampire Facelift

Sounds like something bloody or done on Halloween! Caveat Emptor! Go to a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation first. (Steven Wallach, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)

Marketing terms and a facelift

It used to be that advertising in plastic surgery, or medicine in general, was not the norm. Now of days, there are so many “cosmetic” surgeons who have approached these procedures without formal plastic surgery training, that they tend to use marketing, advertising and catchy names to try to promote business.

Don’t get fooled by a fancy ad, but make sure you discuss your complaints with a board certified plastic surgeon. (Jason Brett Lichten, MD, Columbus Plastic Surgeon)
