Comprehensive Approach to Aging
This signature procedure is a combination of surgical and non-surgical techniques that personifies Dr. Pratt’s comprehensive approach to the aging face. Combining short-scar surgical techniques for cheek and jowl elevation with fat transfer and skin resurfacing, the Bespoke Lift is a powerful and synergistic combination that will surely slow down Father Time.
What is the Bespoke Lift?
The Bespoke Lift represents a multi-level approach to facial rejuvenation that incorporates techniques that address; the sagging lower face, age related volume deficiencies, and skin quality. This three-pronged approach was designed by Dr. Pratt in an effort to provide the most comprehensive approach to restoring youth to the face that could be done with or without general anesthesia.
Incorporating timeless principles of face-lifting, while simultaneously restoring the lost 3-dimensional qualities of the aging face through fat transfer and reducing pore size and fine lines through skin resurfacing, the Bespoke Lift emerged as a catch-all term used to describe; resuspending fallen cheeks and jowls, volumizing deflated cheeks and hollow eyes, as well as renewing vitality to aging skin.
Who makes a good candidate for the Bespoke Lift?
- Healthy patients, both physically and emotionally
- Younger patients with signs of cheek and jowl descent and minimal neck sagging
- Individuals not needing a classic facelift, yet show signs of aging in the cheeks and jowls
- Patients that want to be proactive in maintaining a youthful appearance
- Individuals desiring the option of moderate sedation rather than general anesthesia

What are some of the limitations of the Bespoke Lift?
The Bespoke Lift emerged as way to personify Dr. Pratt’s philosophy and comprehensive approach to facial aging using an umbrella term that he has deemed, “The Bespoke Lift.”
A youthful looking face is more than simply tight skin. Aging is a complex process that involves; weakening of the support structures within the face, depletion of facial fat, reduction in bone density, and a decrease in skin elasticity. The Bespoke Lift was designed to address these components but is not intended for the individual with moderate or severe aging of the neck or eyelids.
The Bespoke Lift may be combined with other procedures when needed, to help provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation, however this may preclude the use of moderate sedation and may necessitate the use of a general anesthetic.
Why Choose Dr. Pratt in Charlotte, North Carolina?

Efforts to restore youth through aesthetic surgery should be personalized and tailored specifically for the individual. Not only is this approach aligned with Dr. Pratt’s philosophy on aesthetic surgery, but it is also the origin of the name Bespoke Plastic Surgery.
