What Is a Mini Facelift?

Some people have signs of aging, but do not need as comprehensive a procedure as a full facelift. A mini facelift is often selected for such patients because it is less invasive than a full facelift and usually targets the lower half of the face. A mini facelift in Jacksonville tightens and removes skin laxity and mild jowling from the chin and neck regions.

What Are the Benefits of a Mini Facelift?

A mini facelift can address similar areas as a full facelift, like loose and sagging skin, jowling, facial lines and wrinkles, as well as a loss of definition in the chin. Facial muscles and skin can be lifted and tightened, leaving you with a more youthful appearance with smaller incisions and less surgery than a full facelift. Mini facelifts are customized for each patient. To get the best results, other procedures are frequently performed at the same time, including:

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Mini Facelift?

Ideal candidates for a mini facelift include patients who have loose facial skin, moderate creases and wrinkles, and sagging skin on the neck, chin, and jawline.

What Is the Procedure for a Mini Facelift?

Small incisions are strategically placed under the chin, sometimes near the ear, and possibly in the hairline. Excess fat is removed, underlying tissues are tightened, and excess overlying skin is smoothed and tightened. This allows each patient to have a restored facial contour definition. Mini facelift procedures last for a shorter period than a full facelift, depending on the other adjuncts that may be needed for optimal results.

What Is the Recovery for a Mini Facelift?

Mini facelifts should only be scheduled when you have planned the proper amount of time to heal. The recovery time is generally quicker than a full facelift, but patients can still expect to experience some bruising, swelling, numbness, and a tight feeling during the post-operative recovery period. These side effects should diminish within two weeks, at which time most patients will be able to return to work.

How Much Does a Mini Facelift Cost?

Each mini facelift is individualized and customized so that every patient can look as young as they feel and achieve their Aesthetic goals. All applicable costs for your surgery will be discussed during your initial consultation. To get the best results, other procedures are frequently performed at the same time, including: CoolPeel® CO2 laser skin resurfacing, eyelid surgery, brow lift, lip lift, ear lobe reductions, or facial fat transfer.
