Overview
What is a mini facelift?
A mini-facelift is a customized surgery that improves definition in the jawline, reduces drooping in the cheeks and jowls, and smoothes away unwanted wrinkles, lines, and creases. The incisions are smaller than those used during a full facelift, so the resulting scars are better hidden within the folds of the ears and the hairline. Even though the mini facelift doesn’t tighten the underlying muscles the way that a full facelift does, the procedure can still achieve many of the same youth-enhancing goals, restoring your quality of life.
How is a mini facelift performed?
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation. A small incision runs from the hairline to the back of the ear. Unlike a conventional facelift, it does not extend up toward the forehead. Excess skin and tissue are trimmed, the remaining skin is tightened and pulled back, and the incisions are closed with sutures.
What are the benefits of a mini facelift?
- Helps treat early signs of aging
- Smaller incisions and less downtime than with conventional facelift surgery
- Scars are well hidden within the hairline
- Tightens and firms the skin
- Reshapes the facial contours
- Can shave 5-10 years off of your perceived age
- Natural-looking outcome
- Enhances your self-image
Who is a good candidate for the procedure?
Good candidates are healthy non-smokers who want improvement rather than perfection. They have early signs of aging, such as sagging contours, jowling, and a loss of jawline definition, and are no longer satisfied with non-surgical results. They have enough skin laxity and prefer a mini over a full facelift.
What will my recovery entail?
For the first few days, you may have some swelling, discomfort, and bruising. These are normal and tend to last just a few days. You will need a friend or family member to drive you home and help with self-care and chores for the first 24 hours. Within 2-3 days you can begin resuming normal activities, as long as you avoid strenuous exercise for at least 2 weeks. Most patients return to work within 7-10 days.
How much does a mini facelift cost?
According to national research, mini facelift surgery ranges from $3,500 to $8,000. Pricing may include the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, anesthesia fees, postoperative garment fees, and others. Cost matters, but your surgeon’s experience matters more. A skilled doctor helps you avoid a costly revision procedure later. Allure Plastic Surgery can help you finance your surgery so you can move forward sooner.
