Mini Procedures and Mini Facelifts Provide Optimal Results Against Aging

With a quick and relatively painless recovery period, it’s no wonder mini facelift procedures are a popular choice for the busy professionals looking to improve their appearance.  Mini facelift patients are able to return to work and a variety of social activities within a week or two, and experience little to no pain, bruising or discomfort. 

The ideal mini facelift or mini procedure candidate has moderate or advancing signs of visible aging of the face. Patients experience a variety of post-operative results, some experience bruising and swelling, but within two weeks, these symptoms disappear, as the healing process is brief and relatively low maintenance.

A more conservative option than classic facelift procedures, mini facelifts offer a cosmetic surgical option that is more personally-tailored to the patient’s needs.  The evolution of cosmetic surgery allows surgeons to perform surgery using moderate techniques applied to the facelift, which is what has evolved into the mini face lift procedure.  This procedure is effective and long-lasting, but less aggressive than other face lift procedures.

mini facelift procedure isbe an excellent alternative to a full face lift, and softens deep creases and sagging in the face and neck.  Loose skin on the neck and deep creases near the nose and mouth are minimized through this procedure.   Eyes are made to look more open with a mini face lift procedure because it tightens the skin and lower layers of muscle below the skin, which is also known as the Sub Muscular Aponeurotic System.  Mini facelifts treat sagging jowls and drooping skin on the neck and face.

Because the mini facelift procedure gives patients their desired results with a shorter recovery period, it’s a more mild procedure that can use local anesthesia rather than full anesthesia. The surgeon strategically places the incisions in the face to help lift upper and lower facial layers. They are placed in hidden spots behind and in front of the ears, helpint to tighten sagging or excess skin of the neck area. 

For patients requiring a more aggressive procedure for their aging, they may need a full face lift rather than a mini face lift. This can be determined through a consultation with your surgeon.
