Mini Facelift

WHAT IS A MINI FACELIFT?

Mini facelifts require fewer incisions than a traditional facelift. Other types of facelifts may provide overlapping results, such as a neck lift, S-lift, submentoplasty, a cheek tuck-up or a neck lift, as well as other trademarked facial lift procedures. A mini lift will target areas of concern within the facial region, including excess skin, jowls and neck rolls.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR A MINI FACELIFT?

A mini facelift is a popular option among younger patients who suffer from one problem area in the facial region. While it may be too soon for a traditional facelift, a mini lift can provide effective and lasting results. Additionally, if a patient has undergone a facelift in the past, a mini lift may be used to enhance its results.

BENEFITS OF A MINI FACELIFT

Mini facelifts offer quicker recovery and fewer incisions. The incisions required to perform a mini facelift can usually be hidden better than those needed for a traditional facelift. Bruising and swelling are limited with a mini facelift, and recovery time isn’t as long compared to a traditional facelift.

THE MINI FACELIFT PROCEDURE

A mini facelift is an outpatient procedure and is performed under twilight anesthesia or local anesthesia, depending on your preference. You’ll go home following the procedure and will likely feel comfortable venturing out within a week. Your absorbable sutures are either taken out or trimmed one week after surgery, and you will likely be comfortable resuming normal activities shortly.

MINI FACELIFT PROCEDURE RESULTS

Results of the mini facelift will depend on your genetics and anatomy, as well as how you take care of yourself in the months and years following surgery. Most patients see results for five to 10 years after surgery or even longer. Some of the benefits will last a lifetime.
