A mini facelift is a lightweight procedure that heals very fast and has very little risk of scarring. This is why it is one of the most demanded facelift surgeries today, especially for people with only moderate facial sagging. It refines your facial tissues to give you a revitalized appearance and highlight your beauty at reduced costs in addition to the minimal healing time.
What Is a Mini Facelift?
A mini facelift is a procedure to lift a small area of the face around the cheeks to correct sagging skin and wrinkles. Two small incisions are made in front of your ears as compared to a full facelift that involves supporting procedures on your neck or brow. Your skin is restored by removing the excess tissue under the skin and tightening what remains for a fresh and youthful appearance.
Why a Mini Facelift?
First, a mini facelift offers a very short recovery period and minimal swelling. Since only two small incisions are made, it is easier to heal than a full facelift which might involve serious incisions. Healing can take from three days to a week. Scarring is minimal since the two incisions are made on the hairline or facial contours where they can be concealed. The procedure itself is also very efficient as it takes only one hour to complete it.
In addition,a mini facelift is also very safe as compared to a full one. This is because it is a very small procedure and can be carried out under local anesthesia and sedation. With conservative anesthesia, you will not experience the disorientation that comes with general anesthesia meaning you can go home the same day! The recovery time for a more extensive facelift is two weeks.
Who Is Eligible for a Mini Facelift?
Most people seeking out a mini facelift procedure are young people with moderate facial sagging in the lower third of the face. The procedure is best for minor skin laxity compared to older people who have significant laxity in the face and neck area.
If you have a sagged but thinner jaw, you are also an ideal candidate for a mini facelift. People with thinner jaws have minimal fatty deposits on their faces which reduces the stress on the skin. Skin sagging is thus reduced which can easily be corrected with this small procedure.

A traditional facelift is performed to smooth out the entire lower half of the face. This is accomplished by lifting away the skin and draping it back into place after some skin has been removed. If only a localized area of the face needs smoothing, such as the jawline, a limited incision facelift, also known as a mini facelift, can be performed.
A mini facelift is a rather simple surgical procedure because only tiny incisions are made, and any subdermal tissue repositioning or removal can be accomplished through the use of tiny tools. This procedure can greatly improve the appearance of the jawline by eliminating sagging jowls.
Versus a Traditional Facelift
A mini facelift is a much simpler procedure because it treats only the skin and subdermal tissue around the jaw. This makes it appealing as an alternative to a traditional facelift because the incisions are smaller, and the overall procedure is less invasive.
Ideal Candidates
The jawline can be a depository for excess fatty tissue. This results in a drooping of the skin, the appearance of jowls and some folding of the skin on the upper neck. If the skin can be pulled upward and outward, the folding disappears and the jowls are much less noticeable. Adults in good overall health who have otherwise taut skin on their cheeks and upper face but who suffer from drooping skin on the jaw are ideal candidates for a mini facelift.
A Simple Outpatient Procedure
When we perform a mini facelift, we give the client a localized anesthetic with sedation. General anesthesia through intravenous means is rarely necessary. This is an outpatient procedure that is performed in the comfort of our surgical suite. You are able to go home on the same day as your procedure.
Long-Lasting Results
The skin will now be more taut and smooth, and the jawline will no longer show drooping. The uppermost portion of the neck skin will also show improvement. Properly performed, a mini facelift can result in visual improvement for a long time.
