MINI LIFTING FACIAL
Mini Facelift: The Key to a Natural and Youthful Look
What is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift is a less invasive variation of the traditional facelift. This surgical technique involves making small incisions to tighten facial skin, improve contours, and correct sagging—especially in individuals with fuller facial volume.
Unlike a full facelift, the mini facelift primarily targets:
✅ Cheekbones and cheeks, which are among the first areas to show sagging.
✅ Jawline and neck, helping redefine facial contours.
By lifting and repositioning the skin, this procedure provides a natural, youthful result without altering facial expressions.
How is a Mini Facelift Performed?
The procedure can be performed under general anesthesia or sedation and is typically done on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day.
🔹 Minimal incisions are made, allowing the surgeon to lift sagging tissues.
🔹 The skin is gently repositioned without excessive pulling, avoiding an “overstretched” look.
🔹 The tension is applied in an upward and downward direction, creating a natural and refreshed appearance.
Most patients can resume daily activities after just one week. Some swelling and bruising may appear initially, but these side effects gradually subside.
Mini Facelift vs. Traditional Facelift: Key Differences
A mini facelift is a simpler and quicker procedure than a traditional facelift, but it still delivers remarkable rejuvenation results.
💠 Shorter surgery time: The procedure is outpatient, meaning faster recovery.
💠 Smaller incisions: The scars are discreetly hidden in front of the ear and end at the earlobe.
💠 Lower risks: Since the surgery is less invasive, the chances of hematomas or nerve damage are reduced.
💠 Faster recovery: Patients can return to normal life within a week.
💠 More affordable: The cost is lower compared to a full facelift.
However, the best technique depends on each patient’s needs. If there is significant skin laxity, a full facelift with neck lift may be required to achieve the best results.
