EnglishBonaldi Aesthetic Lift vs. Monogram Lift vs. Signature Lift: What's the Difference?
Updated
Dr. Louis A. Bonaldi offers three facelift techniques at his Reno, NV practice, and they differ mainly in how much lifting and tissue tightening they provide. The Bonaldi Aesthetic Lift is a minor lift for younger patients or for refreshing a previous facelift; the Monogram Lift targets sagging along the jawline and pairs well with procedures like lipofilling, brow lifts, and eyelid surgery; and the Signature Lift is the most extensive option, addressing the entire face and neck for patients with more significant signs of aging. In general, the amount of excess skin and the extent of aging signs guide which procedure fits.
Side-by-side comparison
| Bonaldi Aesthetic Lift | Monogram Lift | Signature Lift | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Minor lifting and tightening of skin and tissues | Corrects sagging skin and tissues along the jawline | Most extensive lift; addresses the entire face and neck |
| Best suited for | Younger patients, or those looking to refresh a previous facelift | Patients whose main concern is jawline sagging | Patients with more significant signs of aging |
| Typical role | Standalone refresh | Often an adjunct to other facial procedures (lipofilling, brow lifts, eyelid surgery) | Comprehensive facial rejuvenation |
| Relative intensity | Least extensive of the three | Mid-range, focused on the lower face | Most extensive |
How the three lifts differ
Bonaldi Aesthetic Lift
This is the lightest of the three. It provides minor lifting and tightening of the skin and tissues, which makes it a fit for younger patients or for someone who wants to refresh the results of a facelift performed earlier. It is not designed to correct significant laxity.
Monogram Lift
The Monogram Lift focuses on sagging skin and tissues along the jawline. Because its target is the lower face, it works well alongside other facial procedures such as lipofilling, brow lifts, and eyelid surgeries—so it can be one part of a broader plan rather than the whole plan.
Signature Lift
The Signature Lift is Dr. Bonaldi's most extensive technique. It addresses the entire face and neck and is intended for patients with more significant signs of aging. Of the three, it involves the most comprehensive lifting and tightening.
What guides the choice
According to the practice, a facelift works by elevating or lifting the skin of the face and neck and tightening the underlying muscles, and the amount of excess skin dictates the extent of the procedure in the face and neck. That principle explains the tiering: less excess skin and earlier signs of aging point toward the Aesthetic Lift, jawline-focused laxity points toward the Monogram Lift, and more advanced aging across the face and neck points toward the Signature Lift.
Dr. Bonaldi performs 15 times the national average of facelifts per year and developed these three lifts to match different patient needs, per the practice. He is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of ASAPS, ASPS, ACS, and the Nevada State Medical Association.
Practical next step
Because the right lift depends on your skin laxity, the areas of concern, and whether you've had prior facial surgery, the choice is made in a consultation rather than from a description alone. When you meet with the practice, be ready to describe:
- Where you notice sagging (jawline only, or face and neck together)
- Whether you've had a facelift before
- Whether you're also considering lipofilling, a brow lift, or eyelid surgery, since the Monogram Lift is often combined with these
That information maps directly onto the three options above and lets Dr. Bonaldi recommend the extent of lift that fits your goals.
