FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Looking for ways to turn back time, at least on your face?

For those who think collagen and Botox aren't enough and a full face-lift is too much, there's something in between.

It goes by many names, among them: mini-lift, lifestyle lift, short scar lift and baby boomer lift.

For 52-year-old Leslie Zuri, it sounded just right.

"I feel my neck looks very old, and I also feel like my face is falling," said Zuri.

Zuri met with Dr. John Westine, a South Florida plastic surgeon who does the lifestyle lift.

"In her case she doesn't want a full face-lift and doesn't really need one, so this is an appropriate tool," said Dr. Westine.

Dr. Westine said this kind of mini-lift is especially good at addressing issues around the lower third of the face and the neck, Zuri's main areas of concern.

The procedure was done in Dr. Westine's office under local anesthesia. Dr. Westine cut small incisions along the sides of the face through which he was able to tighten the underlying layer of muscle.

Patients can be in and out in less than two hours and well on the road to recovery in a few days.

Just four days out of surgery, Zuri was already pleased with the results: "I feel so good, almost no bruising. I can't believe I did it and I can't believe how happy I am with the procedure."
